IOC to Replace Gary Hall Jr.'s Olympic Medals Lost in California Wildfires

The decorated swimmer lost all ten of his Olympic medals, along with his home and possessions, in the devastating Los Angeles fires last week.

Gary Hall Jr., a three-time Olympian and five-time gold medalist, lost his home and ten Olympic medals in the Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles last week.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced it will provide Hall with replica medals to replace those destroyed in the fire.
Hall evacuated his home with only a few essential items, including his dog, diabetes medication, and sentimental belongings, leaving behind his medals and other possessions.
The Los Angeles wildfires have caused widespread devastation, claiming at least 24 lives and destroying numerous homes and businesses in the region.
A GoFundMe campaign supporting Hall has raised over $75,000 as he begins to rebuild his life after the disaster.
