How to Watch: Alabama Crimson Tide at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics
A grand total of 22 current and former University of Alabama athletes will be competing at this year's 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The athletes will compete in eight different disciplines and represent 13 different countries. Eight of the 22 athletes will be representing the United States.
Among the Americans, three will be competing for a gold medal in track and field. Quanesha Burks graduated in 2017 and will be representing the U.S. in the women's long jump while Daniel Haugh, a two-time All-American at Alabama who transferred to Kennesaw State for his redshirt senior season in 2018, will be competing in the men's hammer throw.
Shelby McEwen was the last American athlete to qualify, earning himself a spot on Team USA on Sunday night by placing third in the men's high jump at the Olympic qualifiers.
One American swimmer also made the cut, with current Crimson Tide junior Rhyan White earning a ticket to Tokyo to compete in both the 100-meter and 200-meter women's backstroke.
Sarah Robles will be competing in her third Olympics, having represented the United State in weightlifting in 2012 and 2016. At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Robles won the bronze medal — the first for an American man or woman since 2000.
Perhaps the three most recognizable names that will be representing the United States for Alabama fans are Justin Thomas, who will be competing in men's golf, Haylie McCleney, who will be on the U.S. Softball team and David Robertson for U.S. Baseball.
The 2021 Tokyo Olympics run from July 21-August 8 and will be broadcast on the NBC family of networks.
Here is everything you need to know about the 22 Crimson Tide athletes competing in Tokyo, listed in alphabetical order of last name:
