Gail Devers and Ato Boldon were double winners. Devers won gold medals in the 100 meters and the 4 x 100 meter relay while Boldon captured bronze medals in the 100 and 200 meters.

Overall, UCLA athletes earned seven medals in softball (four gold and three bronze) and track and field (two gold, two silver and three bronze), two golds in men's beach volleyball, two bronze in baseball, one gold in women's gymnastics, one gold in men's basketball, one gold in women's swimming and one gold in women's soccer.

In the first-ever softball tournament, Dot Richardson hit the game-winning homer and Lisa Fernandez saved the victory with a brilliant relief job on the mound. In the first-ever beach volleyball tournament, Karch Kiraly and Kent Steffes earned gold medals and Kiraly became the first man in history to win three gold medals in the sport of volleyball.

In track, Gail Devers defended her 100 meter title, giving UCLA four straight Olympic 100 meter championships (Evelyn Ashford in 1984, Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988 and Devers in 1992 and 1996). Jackie Joyner-Kersee earned a bronze medal in the long jump, her sixth Olympic medal (three gold, one silver and two bronze). In soccer, UCLA head coach Joy Fawcett assisted on the game-winning goal in the gold medal game and Reggie Miller scored 20 points in the Dream Team's gold medal contest. In gymnastics, incoming freshman Kerri Strug earned her team the gold medal with her courageous final vault.

UCLA had 49 athletes, six coaches and four consultants representing the United States and several foreign countries in the 1996 Olympics. Bruin athletes have won at least one gold medal in every Olympics since 1932 (with the exception of the boycotted games of 1980). UCLA coaches and athletes have now won 183 medals - 95 gold, 46 silver and 42 bronze.
