Nelly Korda doesn’t tend to give much away. Although intense on the course, she’s not one to show an abundance of emotion during a tournament round. Even when she wins—six times now on the LPGA Tour, along with an Olympic gold in Tokyo—Korda’s celebrations are reserved in comparison to other champs.
But that doesn’t mean she’s not feeling the moment. The data from Korda’s fitness band, WHOOP, shows just how much winning a gold medal at the Olympics meant to her.
The band, which Korda wears all day, on-course and while sleeping, measure’sher heart rate, strain and recovery. WHOOP pulled the data from the Olympics and found that the highest Korda’s heart rate spiked in the final round wasn’t when she hit the winning putt, or when she made double on No. 7 to lose the outright lead and slip into a three-way tie. Instead, the moment that Korda’s heart was beating fastest was when she was on the Olympic podium, getting her gold medal.
