BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Twenty Indiana University athletes and coaches will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Indiana has tied its second-largest group of Olympians all-time, having produced 20 Olympians in 1976 and a record 23 in 1968. Hoosiers will represent nine different countries, marking a school record. The 2024 Paris Games will officially kick off with the opening ceremony July 26 at 1:30 p.m. ET, with IU athletes competing the next day. NBC and Peacock will provide live video coverage throughout the Olympics. Stay tuned to IUHoosiers.com/Olympics for full coverage of IU athletes in Paris, including feature stories, recaps and athlete schedules.

IU is represented in five unique sports, including, for the first time ever, open water swimming. Within that, four different IU athletic programs produced Olympians – 17 from swimming and diving (13 swimming, four diving), two from water polo and one from track and field. Ten Hoosiers will represent Team USA in France, Indiana’s largest contribution to the U.S. Olympic Team since Seoul 1988. All 10 Team USA Hoosiers emerge from the IU swimming and diving program – six swimmers, three divers and two coaches.

Indiana has produced a U.S. Olympic diver at every Summer Games since 1964. Tokyo 2020 medalists Andrew Capobianco and Jessica Parratto return for their second and third Olympics respectively. Reigning NCAA Champion Carson Tyler is set to make his Olympic debut in the 3-meter and 10-meter competitions as the first U.S. male diver since 2000 to qualify in both events. The remaining 10 Hoosiers combine to represent eight more countries. For the first time ever, Indiana sends Olympians from the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, Lithuania and the Netherlands. IU athletes will also compete for Egypt, Germany, Israel and Canada.

In addition to the 20 individuals that currently train or coach at Indiana University, or have graduated from IU, three more Olympians have cream and crimson ties. Swimmers Matt King (United States) and Zalán Sárkány (Hungary) are set to transfer into the IU program following their summer in Paris. U.S. Olympic Diving head coach Drew Johansen will be joined on deck by Jenny Johansen, named an assistant coach by USA Diving. Jenny Johansen is a two-time Olympian, coach at the Johansen Diving Academy at IU and Parratto’s personal coach. Together, the Johansens become the first married pair to coach U.S. diving together at an Olympic Games.

Eleven Hoosier Olympians have previous Olympic experience. Drew Johansen leads the way, coaching his fourth consecutive Summer Games. Five more Hoosiers will attend their third Olympics, including Lilly King, Ray Looze, Parratto, Blake Pieroni and Marwan Elkamash (all swimming and diving), who became the first Egyptian swimmer to qualify for three consecutive Olympics. King announced prior to U.S. Olympic Swim Trials that the Paris Games will be her final cycle.

Nine Hoosiers – Rikkoi Brathwaite (track and field), Cory Chitwood, Mariah Denigan, Ching Hwee Gan, Josh Matheny, Rafael Miroslaw, Anna Peplowski, Carson Tyler and Kai van Westering (swimming and diving) – will participate in their first Olympics.

Olympic History:

Few universities, or even nations, can match Indiana University's Olympic record. Indiana boasts 261 total Olympic berths, representing 30 countries. On 21 occasions, Olympic coaches have come from Indiana. The Indiana University athlete medal count is at 121 including 60 gold, 23 silver and 38 bronze after the 2020 Tokyo Games. The Hoosiers have earned a medal at every Olympic Games they have competed in except 2004. IU’s most productive year was 1968, with 17 medals for IU competitors in Mexico City.

Additional Olympians with Indiana University Ties

That's a little more promising...

Here's hoping they are wrong about our OL and that I'm wrong about our LB's... If we get unexpected excellence from those two areas we might have an outside shot at something special...

No link, not yet public. But it’s happening.

Reminder from the reality star playing a POTUS:

A fun week just to have a break from the WITCH HUNT. NO COLLUSION. By the RINO Mueller.

Without tipping my hand, I have skin in this game. Actually, I know where I stand. I'm curious to know what all of you think.

I was going to make this a poll, but I think it'd be more fun to just have you all weigh in.

Adam Schefter on McAfee show saying Detroit was shut down - hired a CAB to get to back to NYC.

I got it yesterday with the the early pass because waiting 3 more days was absolutely out of the question. 20 years was long enough. IU is 6-0 with a home game vs Nebraska looming tonight after I get off work. It's a big game and we have a few top recruits coming in as well. Coach Cig has really capitalized on his team's hot start to the season in recruiting. Already has a 4* LT and a 4* DT committed. Rourke, Ellison, McCulley, and Horton have been the standouts on O. Kamara, Sharpe, Ponds, and Magnum have been the playmakers on D. Depaepe has been the best FR and a pleasant surprise due to injuries at DE.

Is so ****ing cringe

No pride apparently.

One of the greats.

How are you feeling about USA's chances for winning gold in both men's and woman's basketball?
This morning I am concerned about BOTH. The women's team lost to the remainder of the NBA all-stars. That makes them the second best team in the USA. More importantly, it shows to the other teams in the world that the USA CAN be beaten.

To a lesser extent, the men's team has not looked overwhelming.

For fun, I don't think what I suggest below will happen, but I believe it shows a problem in how the 22nd Amendment was written.

Here is the 22nd Amendment, at least the important part, and I have highlighted the part of concern:

Next up is the 12th Amendment, which states, "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States".

So, the VP must be eligible to be president. The 22nd, does NOT say that a person serving two terms cannot be president, just that they cannot be elected.

So, could Harris name Obama to be VP?

is when you think he couldn't be a more classless prick, he proves you wrong

Vance or Carson I would guess.

According to the data

TheHoosier.com is in the building at Hinkle Fieldhouse for tonight's TBT action. Butler's team (All Good Dawgs) is currently playing, while Assembly Ball takes the court at 8 PM. Purdue's team (Men of Mackey) won earlier today and could match up with IU's squad on Sunday.

Who are you most looking forward to seeing play tonight?

If you run a candidate who believes America was never great, that men can menstruate and get pregnant, that transexualism should be taught in elementary schools, that discriminating against women athletes by forcing them to compete against biological males is OK, and that Hamas is the legitimate government of the Palestinian and requires protection, you will still lose.

My wife is from North Texas and they had lots of damage.

Michelle O would walk away with the Presidency…. Not saying I agree with her policies, but it would be a slam dunk

At 4pm on ESPN.


Hoping we get to see this matchup this afternoon in summer league action.
