My Take
Jordan Larson is, to me, one of the great unsung American team athletes. Four Olympics, a full medal set, and crucially the outside hitter who finally delivered the U.S. women their first-ever volleyball gold in Tokyo. That gold ended a decades-long wait, and she was at the heart of it. What I respect is the longevity: silver in 2012, bronze in 2016, gold in 2020, silver again in 2024. Staying world-class across four Games is brutally hard. From Fremont, Nebraska to the top of the sport, she's the kind of steady, clutch leader every winning roster needs.
Overview
Jordan Quinn Larson (born October 16, 1986) is an American professional volleyball player who plays as an outside hitter for the United States women's national volleyball team. A four-time Olympian, Larson earned the USA its first-ever gold in women's volleyball at the 2020 Summer Olympics. She also has two silver medals from the 2012 and 2024 Summer Olympics and a bronze medal from the 2016 Summer Olympics.
