Brink’s rookie season in Los Angeles was cut short after she suffered a torn ACL in her left knee. The injury also ruled her out of the Paris Olympics.

Thomas, meanwhile, took home two gold medals for Team USA in Paris, winning the gold in the 200 meters and helping America win the 4×100 meter relay.

In gymnastics, Lee won gold in the team competition and bronze in both the individual all-around and uneven bars. Chiles controversially missed bronze in the floor exercise, but did help the U.S. win gold in the team final.

Korda cemented himself as the best golfer in the world in 2024 with victory at the Women’s British Open and the Chevron Championship.
