That's honestly surprising that they didn't have anyone medal. Especially in track and field.

Neither Texas nor Oklahoma were part of the SEC for any season any Olympic athlete competed in the SEC for.

Despite being dominant in Track and Field for a long time Arkansas had relatively few medals. We tend to win track meets by being redonkously deep in talent.

No schools won any medals.

But a guy that attends Alabama won a silver. I only know because there was a whole thread about it. And I saw here that the US men’s basketball team won.

I have no idea how anything else went though, the Olympics lost me with that whole opening ceremony debacle.

We sent 9. It looks like Anderson Peters won the bronze. And we had an assistant coach on Canada track and field.

I didn't watch a single minute of the Olympics...and won't lose sleep over not having a water polo player or something from UA win a medal.

I have no idea how they pick gymnasts but it seems rare any college gymnasts ever compete in Olympics

If they had softball a lot of players would be OU. That sport comes back in 2028 instead of breakdancing

Also going to have flag football in 28 both men and women
