Keep track of all Penn State athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics here.

Penn State boasts its largest Olympic athlete contingent ever for these 2024 Summer Games in Paris.

More than two-dozen former, current and club athletes with Penn State connections will compete for the USA and other countries during the two-week games that began this week. They will attempt to break their impressive performance at the Tokyo Games three years ago, where six former PSU athletes won medals, including a school-record four golds.

These games should end in a flurry when five national-championship wrestlers who either dominated for coach Cael Sanderson or who are key members of the State College-based Nittany Lion Wrestling Club close out the final three days of the games.

Penn State's contingent of U.S. Olympians ranks third in the 18-team Big Ten conference and is tied for fourth nationally.Follow along below for day-to-day results and competition updates concerning Penn State connections during the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad.

Aaron Brooks , 24, will look to continue his stunning ascension in Paris. In the past eight months he's won an Under-23 world title, a fourth national championship at Penn State and the Olympic Trials by upsetting reigning 86 kilogram gold medalist David Taylor.

Now, he faces a loaded Olympic field that includes Iranian Olympic champion Hassan Yazdani (gold medal in 2016, silver in 2021). Can Brooks pose the same kind of trouble for Yazdani — and rising 26-year-old Russian Artur Naifonov — as the vanquished Taylor did over the years?
