The games get under way Aug. 5 and more than a few Trojans are headed down to Rio. USC has produced more Olympians, overall medalists and gold medalists than any other university in the United States, and a USC athlete has won a medal at every Summer Olympics since 1904.

Visit the USC Athletics website and meet the members of the Trojan Family who will be competing — for the U.S. and other countries — when the games get under way.
