Nine people who currently live in Colorado are qualified for the summer games, which is on the higher end of qualified athletes from a single state.

The states that are home to the most athletes lie in the larger states like California, where 63 people qualified, and Texas which is home to 24 of the athletes.

Meanwhile, other states only have a few qualifiers, like Arkansas with one athlete and Idaho with one qualifier. Some states, like Wyoming and Louisiana, have no qualifying athletes in the state.

Colorado is No. 14 for the most athletes coming from a single state as of June 24, with athletes from several sports still competing for a spot on the team.

The full list of athletes by state can be found on Team USA’s website.
