BEIJING, China — Colorado will be well-represented on Team USA at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games next month.

Team USA lists 23 athletes as officially being from Colorado, meaning their hometown is in this state. Only California claims more 2022 Olympic athletes, with 29. Colorado and Minnesota are tied for No. 2 with 23 each, followed by Utah (16), Wisconsin (14) and Illinois (13).

Add in U.S. Olympic athletes who were born in Colorado or whose current residence is in Colorado because they train here, and the number jumps to 40 athletes with ties to the state.
