American swimmer Gary Hall Jr. will receive replicas of the 10 Olympic medals he left behind while fleeing the Los Angeles wildfires, the IOC said.

Hall earned five golds, three silvers and two bronze medals while competing for the United States in three Olympics. He is a two-time Olympic champion in the 50-meter freestyle and helped the U.S. to podium finishes in five relays over his career.

When Gary Hall Jr. saw the flames of the Palisades fire rapidly approaching, he grabbed his dog Puddle, a few family mementos, his insulin and left everything else behind – including five gold, three silver and two bronze Olympic medals that he had tucked away in a closet.
