Palm Beach Post

There are more than 60 athletes from Florida who will be on Team USA when the Olympic Games begin this weekend in Tokyo.

But there are so many more from other parts of the world who have connections to Florida colleges, or who train in the state. Florida's amazing weather gives them a chance to work out at times of the year when others couldn't.
