Robyn Stevens

Robyn Stevens (born April 24, 1983) is an American race walker.[1][2]

Stevens won the 2020 USA Olympic Trial 20k race walk event in Eugene, Oregon, finishing over four minutes ahead of the second-place finisher.[3] Stevens' boyfriend Nick Christie won the men's 20k at the same meet.

Stevens went on to compete in the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 2021, where she finished in 33rd place out of a field of 58 athletes.

Stevens suffered from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia while attending San José State University, which forced her to quit racing in 2004. She would not compete again until 2014.[4]
