The 2024 Olympics in Paris are here and, every time the Olympics come around, it's a chance for some of the best athletes from around the world to get together, compete, and celebrate.
And many of those elite athletes are part of the LGBTQ+ community. There were over 186 publicly out LGBTQ+ athletes at Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021.
Fortunately, the Olympics has been a place where queer athletes like Greg Louganis, Sue Bird, Tom Daley, Megan Rapinoe, and Adam Rippon have become beloved international stars.
And now, it's time for another generation of LGBTQ+ athletes to rise to the occasion. Here are some of the LGBTQ+ athletes who have qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics:
- Dan Jervis, Great Britain, swimming.
- Sha'Carri Richardson, USA, track.
- Robbie Manson, New Zealand, rowing.
- Chelsea Gray, USA, basketball.
