If you like cheering for
hometown athletes — or
former Ducks, Zags or Hus-
kies — you’re in luck when
the Summer Olympics starts
this week. The team rosters
for the USA and a bunch of
foreign countries are chock-
ablock with athletes with
Pacifi c Northwest ties.
Fifty U.S. Olympians
have strong connections to
Oregon or Washington. At
least 51 more athletes are at
the Olympics representing
foreign countries after star-
ring for universities or turn-
ing pro in the Northwest.
The Tokyo Olympics
opening ceremony on Friday
is almost exactly one year
later than originally planned
due to the pandemic. The
games, still branded Tokyo
2020, run through August
8. The International Olym-
pic Committee and Japanese
government are proceeding
with these games in spite
of persistent calls to cancel
them coming from worried
citizens of the largely unvac-
cinated host nation.
The athletic contingent
with Northwest ties is head-
lined by two Olympic veter-
ans. In women’s basketball,
the Seattle Storm’s Sue Bird
is chasing her fi fth straight
gold medal. In fencing,
Mariel Zagunis of Beaver-
ton is also at her fi fth Olym-
pics, looking to add to the
two golds and two bronze
medals she already has.
There will be no fam-
ily and friends in the stands
cheering them on because

fi rst-time Olympian Har-
rison Maurus, of Auburn,
Washington, said it was nice
that the USA Weightlifting
federation invited family
members to the team’s train-
ing camp location in Hawaii
to view the games together
from there.
“Really that’s been good
for my training to know that
they’ll still be able to follow
me through the end of my
journey and support me to
the end,” Maurus said during
a team media briefi ng.

hopes on his broad shoul-

the U.S. Olympic Track &
Field Trials in Eugene last
month.
“There’s been a lot of
improvising, adapting and
overcoming this year,” said
Crouser after making his
second Olympic team. “It’s
been such a diffi cult year
— not only for me, but for
so many people around the
world — it was a really spe-
cial moment for me and all
the guys.”
