Since our last update on the exploits of the Texas Longhorn athletes competing at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, two Longhorns have won gold medals! One former Longhorn track & field athlete won his second Olympic gold medal, while another Longhorn athlete played a starring role in getting her country its first Olympic gold in her sport.
The 28 former, current, and future Longhorns who have competed in Tokyo so far have combined to win seven medals (3 gold and 4 silver), and they are guaranteed to win at least three more gold or silver medals before the games have their closing ceremony on Sunday.
