It has been a year since the Tokyo Olympics concluded. With them, there had been many memorable moments and bright new stars that come from them, as is usual with every Olympics. Gymnastics are always a fan favorite at the Summer Olympic games and the Tokyo Olympics showed no exception.
With the success that came from the stars that came from the United States' Women's Gymnastics Team, they have all continued their success in their collegiate careers. The following gymnasts from that team have continued their success at the collegiate level:

She even became the first collegiate gymnast to perform a Nabeiva on the uneven bars.

At the NCAA Championships, Auburn came in fourth overall while Suni Lee earned gold for the balance beam and earned silver on the individual all-around event behind Trinity Thomas.

Jade Carey has also had her fair share of collegiate success after the Tokyo Olympics. After the Olympics, she began attending Oregon State University. Due to the NCAA change on NIL player compensation, Carey became eligible to profit off of her name, image, and likeness. It was then reported that Carey was the highest-earning athlete at Oregon State.
During her freshman season at Oregon State, Carey won multiple honors. These honors included a handful of Pac-12 Freshman of the Week and PAc-12 Gymnast of the Week awards along with PAc-12 Gymnast of the Year and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.
