Arizona has 18 athletes competing in the summer Olympics, hailing from Flagstaff to Tucson and Phoenix to Globe.
Arizona athletes will compete in a dozen sports. In most sports, Arizona will have a single representative, but track and field will feature three Arizonans. Cycling, rugby, skateboarding and gymnastics will each include two Arizonans.
In gymnastics, Jade Carey and MyKayla Skinner are among six women that make up Team USA. They were chosen to compete in individual apparatus events and not the team event. The four-member team structure and two specialists competing in individual events is new for the Tokyo Games, created by the International Gymnastics Federation to allow smaller countries that could not send an entire team to be able to send two individuals.
