Katinka Hosszu’s Record Start in Rio Eyes USC Olympic History

Sixty-seven women of Troy have occupied spots on Olympic rosters ranging the globe. And in total, 43 Olympic medals —12 gold, 16 silver, and 15 bronze— have been awarded to former members of the Women of Troy’s Swim team.

Among them, swimmers like Janet Evans and Rebecca Soni stand out most profoundly, as both are regarded as legends produced by the swimming program.

Evans, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, tied for the most of any USC Olympian, was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2004.

Soni, who won six NCAA Championships during her time at USC, has earned six Olympic medals during her international career, tying her for the most overall medals won at the Olympic Games by any USC athlete.
