AUSTIN — Current and former University of Texas student-athletes accounted for a total of nine medals, including five gold, during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. If these athletes were competing as a separate country, Texas would have ranked in 17th place among all nations in the number of gold medals earned and tied for 26th in the number of total medals won.
In its storied Olympics history, current and former UT student-athletes have now produced a total of 153 medals, including 88 gold, 41 silver and 24 bronze. Texas has now had a gold medalist in each of the last 10 Summer Olympics, dating back to the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
