The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris begin at the end of this week.

The opening ceremony, on the Sienna River (the first not in an Olympic stadium), is scheduled for Friday, July 26 at 1:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. Paris time). This summer’s competition runs through Sunday, August 11.

For Bulldog fans in the Peach State, there is a strong group of UGA athletes, both former and current, looking to gain fame.

The red and black will officially send 33 athletes to Paris, including eight individuals who will work in coaching, operations, media relations and broadcasting. The 2024 Bulldogs delegation will represent 20 different countries in 10 different sports as the second-largest group in UGA track and field history — 36 went to Rio (2016) and 30 went to Tokyo (2021).

The group of athletes heading to this year’s Games is among the best yet.

Anthony Edwardsa two-time NBA All-Star and the No. 1 overall pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2020, will be part of Team USA’s basketball roster. He participated in the 2023 FIBA ​​World Cup, where he was the leading scorer with an average of 18.9 points per game.

Luca Urlando found redemption this year after finishing sixth in the semifinals of the 2020 Olympic Trials in the 200m butterfly. The sophomore holds the American, NCAA and US Open records in the 100m backstroke, as well as the school records for the 100-yard backstroke, 100m and 200m butterfly.

Cross of Bethune is living a year of dreams after being drafted third overall by the Washington Spirit in January. Now she’s headed to France as a reserve for the beloved USWNT. Aaliyah Butler can say the same after setting a personal and school record when she finished third at the Trials (by just milliseconds) to secure her personal ticket.
