Here are the 2008 Olympians that are representing the United States at the games in Beijing, and have significant ties to Arizona. They were either born here, were raised here, went to college in Arizona, or live in Arizona now. We wish them all a good effort and an incredible experience.
I will continue to add athletes as the various competitors and coaches are announced. If you know of one that isn't on this list, send me an email.
