Story Highlight
The 2024 Olympic Games will be held this summer, from July 26 to August 11. While many athletes are still qualifying, we've already heard about some Columbia Lions who are headed to Paris to compete.
With the help of Columbia Athletics, we've compiled a list of every Columbian that we know is headed to the Olympics, what sport they'll compete in, and what team they'll be representing.

COLUMBIA HISTORY
On April 4, 1949, the newly formed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), represented by delegates from the US, Canada, and ten European countries, signed a collective security pact. Four years after the end of a war that killed thirty-nine million Europeans, the twelve nations negotiated an all-for-one, one-for-all agreement with the declared intention to check Soviet expansion, bolster Europe’s defenses, and prevent German remilitarization.
At Columbia, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ’47HON, the five-star general who led the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II, was closely following events. Eisenhower had become president of Columbia less than a year earlier, succeeding Nicholas Murray Butler, who resigned in 1945 after forty-four years.
