University of Georgia athletes are raking in medals at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Georgia Bulldogs (a.k.a Olympic swimmers) have tallied 7 medals, including one gold, two silver and four bronze. The medalists include:

• Chase Kalisz earned the gold
• Jay Litherland earned the silver
• Allison Schmitt earned the silver and the bronze
• Olivia Smoliga earned the bronze
• Hali Flickinger earned two bronze

That’s according to the University of Georgia Athletics, which is keeping tabs on the “Dawgs in Tokyo” online. It also includes a full list of the Georgia Bulldogs competing here.

Georgia Swim & Dive celebrated in a recent tweet:

“The two best in the world are GEORGIA BULLDOGS!

“Getting to the Olympics is hard, winning an Olympic medal is even harder,” Schmitt said. “To have this type of medal with these three other girls, I can’t even put it into words. I know, for the world, this past year has been extremely hard, and and to be here, to be diving in for an Olympic final and then coming back and bringing that silver medal back to the U.S., it is something I’ll never take for granted.”
