Participants in
Olympics

Reaching the Olympic Games means having achieved a great goal, which only a few people in history have been able to achieve! In the following space we try to present each of them in the best possible way in order of participation. For historical reasons we only highlight a few in the previous sections, however we do not want to take away anyone's merit, since we only want to introduce here and have the complete list, preferably with a photograph and their sport, as well as the Olympic Games in which they participated. We can obtain complete information about each Oly through a link that will take us to their interview, their personal data and their biography.
