Georgia Olympians: 33 to represent Bulldogs in Summer Games
The 2024 Summer Olympic Games are here with activities already underway in Paris and the opening ceremonies set for Friday at 2:00 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. ET primetime viewing on NBC). Athletes from all over the world have come to represent their countries, but for those that played collegiately, their colleges are proud too. Thirty-three (33) current, future or former Georgia Bulldogs will be involved in the Olympics some way participating across 10 different sports for 20 different nations.
Track & Field is the most represented sport with 22 Bulldogs, including a few coaches, heading to Paris to represent the red and black. Swimming follows with six while tennis has three. Of the athletes across all sports, eight are on Team USA.
Georgia sent 36 to the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 2016. It’s the only year with more Bulldogs in the games than the present one with 2024 passing the 30 that went to Tokyo (Japan) in 2021.
