Ryan Murphy has captured gold in Rio.
Of course, that is not to say the Carolina Hurricanes defenseman is actually an Olympic swimmer in his spare time, but rather that his namesake captured gold for the second time at these Olympics, most recently in the 200m backstroke on Thursday.
Nevertheless, the Hurricanes' Murphy is taking all the glory he can for the achievement.
Congratulations, Ryan Murphy!
