28 Texas Longhorns Go For Gold At Tokyo Olympics

If the University of Texas was its own country, it has enough all-star athletes to form its own Olympic team.

Twenty-six current and former Texas Longhorns and two coaches are participating in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which is currently underway. This group is tied for the largest delegation of UT students going the Olympic games. Twenty-six student athletes also competed in the 1988 Seoul and 2000 Sydney Olympics.

This year UT athletes and coaches will be competing in 11 sports and representing 11 different countries.
