For serious? He and Wallace Spearmon were two of the most dominant collegiate sprinters of all-time while they were in college together. They basically won us two national titles* all by themselves.



*Two later taken away by the NCAA because of illegal activities by Lance Brauman while he was coaching at JUCO.

Not as far as I know. The US team still thinks it's going.

Very, very few. But if you bring it up, you are a closed minded bigot and a racist.

As an update, the Florida Gator Olympian count is up to 36 athletes, if you count all athletes that have ties to the Gator program (incoming freshmen and transfers to other schools). Otherwise, it's 33 plus two coaches.

I've written about it here: LINK

For this year alone:

The ten Razorback heading to London are:

Raymond Higgs (Bahamas) - long jump

Marek Niit (Estonia) - 200 meters

Alistair Cragg (Ireland) - 5,000 meters

Tyson Gay (USA) - 100 meters

Jeremy Scott (USA) - pole vault

Wallace Spearmon, Jr. (USA) - 200 meters

Regina George (Nigeria) - 400 meters

Ivanique Kemp (Bahamas) - 100 meters

Tina Sutej (Slovenia) - pole vault


Don't the know the total for past Olympiads, but John McDonnell alone had at least 23 Olympians in his career. (which would include Gay and Spearmon from above). Sure there have been additional ones maybe in basketball and womens sports.
