Abstract

At the Paris Olympics, Stanford University outperformed most countries, winning a total of 39 medals, including 12 gold medals. Stanford's success was particularly notable in water sports, with athletes like Regan Smith and Torri Huske winning five medals each. Other American universities known for breeding top athletes, such as Texas, Cal, Virginia, Penn State, and Harvard, also collected double-digit medals. Additionally, American universities played a significant role in producing athletes from other countries, such as British sprinters and Swedish pole-vaulting sensation Mondo Duplantis.
