After a yearlong postponement, the Tokyo Olympics are finally here, and Team USA will have another chance to go home as the leader in total medals earned.
Americans will be active in the 28 sports offered at the Summer Games. While the U.S. doesn’t have a team or individual participating in every sport, they will be included in most and will be contenders per usual. As such, viewers will have plenty of opportunities to watch the U.S. in action.
