# Olympic Games: Former American swimmer Gary Hall Junior promised to take better care of his ten Olympic medals after they were lost during the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. He was ecstatic after the International Olympic Committee replaced the medals, with the former president of the IOC, Thomas Bach, handing them over during a ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland. Fifty-year-old Hall clinched five gold medals, three silver and two bronze during the Games in Atlanta in 1996, in Sydney in 2000 and in Athens four years later.
