CINCINNATI — Cincinnati alum Jordan Thompson is taking home Olympic silver with the U.S. team after Italy won the gold in straight sets on Sunday. It's another major accomplishment by the Bearcats' contingent as Thompson became the first UC representative in Olympic history to win a pair of medals.

She took home gold with the team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
