TEXAS — The names of athletes competing in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics for Team USA have been released, and Texas has dozens of Olympians representing the state.
The official list was announced last Tuesday, drawing both praise and criticism after track star Sha'Carri Richardson of Dallas was disqualified from participating. Richardson was given a 30-day suspension after she tested positive for marijuana, a banned substance, according to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
Athletes will compete in a record-high 339 events across 41 sports at Tokyo's Olympic Stadium and various other locations beginning July 23. For the full schedule, visit Tokyo Olympics.
