Here is the complete list of Illinois Olympians competing in Paris 2024

New sports coming to Summer 2024 Paris Olympics

The 2024 Paris Olympics are just a month away. This year, four new sports are joining the ranks. There will be breakdancing, skateboarding, sports climbing and surfing. Northern Illinois University professor Jenn Jacobs joins Good Day Chicago with what more to expect at this year's games.

Let the Games begin.

The 2024 Summer Olympics will begin soon, and any Illinois native needing an athlete to cheer for will have 36 athletes to cheer for in Paris.

There are some well-known athletes, such as Chicago native and current Los Angeles Laker Anthony Davis, but there are others, like Riverside, Illinois, native, volleyball star and first-time Olympian Dana Rettke, who will get a chance to experience the biggest sports stage the world has to offer.

Here are all the Olympic Athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Summer Games this July and August.
