These Colorado residents are going to the 2024 Olympics in Paris

Five hundred and ninety-two athletes will head to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, which begin later this month. Twenty-six of them will represent Colorado, along with the United States.

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee said the 592-person roster is the most decorated in Olympic history, with 122 returning Olympic medalists. Forty-six states are represented on the roster, with Colorado having the sixth-most athletes of any state.

Still, Colorado is sending fewer athletes this year than the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo did. In 2021, during the Olympics that were famously postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 10 Coloradans brought home medals. Returning medalists include discus thrower Valarie Allman, U.S. soccer star Lindsey Horan and reigning women’s volleyball gold medalists Jordyn Poulter and Haleigh Washington.

Colorado residents participate in a variety of events, including 3×3 basketball, rowing, soccer, golf, and sport climbing.
