American colleges are a major training ground for Olympic talent. This year, about three out of every four athletes on the 592-member U.S. Olympic team played for an American college.
Those athletes — and many more from other countries — enroll not just for the education but because American universities have built some of the best sports facilities in the world. They have hired the top coaches, trainers, and medical professionals. And they’ve cemented themselves as the places to go if you want to compete against the very best.
