Oklahoma State Sending a Record 11 Athletes to the 2024 Paris Olympics

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is sending a record 11 athletes to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The list is comprised of men’s golfers Wyndham Clark (USA), Viktor Hovland (Norway), Alex Noren (Sweden) and Kris Ventura (Norway), women’s track and field athletes Ariadni Adamopoulou (Greece), Chase Ealey Jackson (USA), Gabija Galvydyte (Lithuania), Ieva Zarankaite Gumbs (Lithuania), men’s track and field athlete Jacob Fincham-Dukes (Great Britain), men’s tennis player Aleksandr Nedovyesov (Kazakhstan) and women’s golfer Maja Stark (Sweden). 

OSU’s 11 Olympic athletes ties for third-most among Big 12 schools at the Paris Games, trailing only Arizona State (22) and Texas Tech (12). 

Oklahoma State has produced 120 Olympians all-time and entering the 2024 Paris Games, 34 earned a medal - 21 gold, five silver and eight bronze. 

OSU has been represented at every Olympic Summer Games in which the United States has competed in since 1924.

Oklahoma State has produced at least one medalist in 19 of the last 20 Olympic Summer Games in which the United States has competed since 1932. The lone exception was in 1972, when the Henry Iba-coached Team USA men’s basketball team chose to not accept silver medals following a controversial result against the Soviet Union in the gold medal game.

Included among Oklahoma State’s Olympic gold medalists are a quartet of two-time winners - wrestlers Yojiro Uetake and John Smith, men’s basketball star Bob Kurland and softball pitching ace Michele Smith.
