One hundred years ago a Stanford junior named George Horine won a bronze medal in the high jump at the Olympic Games in Stockholm. Stanford has been represented on the medal stand in every Summer Olympiad since.

Over that span, Stanford-affiliated athletes have won 225 medals. Occasionally, they have outperformed entire continents. In the 1996 Games in Atlanta, "Stanford" won more gold medals (17) than all but three countries that competed. More than China. More than France. Sixteen more than Great Britain. (Sorry, just saying.)
