UCLA will be sending 30 athletes to the 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil. This extraordinary number of contestants should not be a surprise to any, as UCLA Bruins have made an appearance in the Summer Olympics every year since 1925.
UCLA Athletics reports that, in total, 423 Bruins have participated in the Summer Olympics, accruing a remarkable 253 medals—including 128 gold. This might be one of the reasons why Fox Sports ranked UCLA as the second-best college to produce the best Team USA Olympic athletes, just after Stanford.
