The 22-year-old Douglass won six medals at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships 2023, including 200 IM and the 400 medley relay gold medals. Not only this, but she also concluded her NCAA season with three individual titles, four relay titles, and team championship, and broke records in the 100 IM, 100 fly, and 200 breaststroke.
Apart from her, the Forbes website listed the LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne as "one of the faces of college sports' NIL era, with more than 12 million followers between TikTok and Instagram.” Richardson has been included in the list based on her performance at the 2023 Budapest World Athletics Championships.
