The Tokyo 2020 Olympics have come and gone, one year after they were slated to take over the sports world and international airwaves. 

UCLA athletes played a major part in how the Games went down, helping their teams collect medals in droves in the process. Including coaches and staff, 20 current and former Bruins will leave Japan with hardware. That ranks third in the Pac-12 behind USC's 21 and Stanford's 26.

The Pac-12 as a whole accounted for 106 medals, which is the most among any NCAA conference and would have placed fifth at the Games if it were its own country.

From the court to the pool and everywhere in between, Bruins made their presence in Tokyo known.
