The GIST: The Olympic void is real, but college sports are here to help fill it — especially with these Team USA medalists returning to collegiate play this school year.

Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey: Both gymnasts announced that they’ll be bringing their gold medals to campus when they rejoin their collegiate squads. Unlike Chiles, who redshirted last season, Carey trained for Paris while competing for Oregon State, so she won’t miss a beat entering her final year in Corvallis.

Hailey Van Lith: The 3x3 basketball bronze medalist was Team USA’s only current college hooper in Paris. She shocked the world in April by announcing her transfer to TCU after just one season with LSU, and time will tell whether she can lead the Horned Frogs to victory in a stacked Big 12.

Gretchen Walsh: Virginia’s swimming superstar made a huge splash in her first Olympics, capturing gold in the mixed and women’s 4x100m medleys and silver in the women’s 4x100m freestyle and 100m butterfly. Up next, dominating the collegiate pool (and the NIL game) again.
