The Paris Olympics will have a burnt-orange tinge, with 30 current or former University of Texas athletes competing in the 2024 Games from Friday to Aug. 11. That sets a record for the largest delegation UT has sent to a single Olympics, topping the 29 at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Texas also will have seven coaches working in Paris: Carol Capitani (assistant coach, U.S. swimming), Matt Scoggin (coaching staff, U.S. diving), Erik Sullivan (team leader, U.S. men's volleyball), Bob Bowman (coaching staff, France swimming), Royal Ivey (head coach, South Sudan men's basketball), Edrick Floréal (coaching staff, Great Britain, Ireland and Saint Lucia track and field) and Jim Garnham (coaching staff, Germany track and field).
