Jade becomes the 12th OSU athlete to win an Olympic Gold Medal! (Gary Payton won 2 for OSU’s total of 13) She is only the 6th OSU individual to win a Gold Medal … and the 1st since Dick Fosbury in 1968!! She is the 1st Gold Medal winner at OSU to compete for OSU AFTER winning Gold since the early 20th Century! (The first, won in 1908 and competed for OAC in 1909, … and the two Diving Gold Medal winners in 1920 MAY have (??) competed for OSU afterwards.)
Go Beavs!!,
