While we anxiously await the start of track and field at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, we invite you to join us in celebrating Connecticut athletes who have competed in the Summer Olympics. 

In our ‘redux’ of our four part series posted a year ago, MySportsResults provides this ‘gift’ for you as we hope that you enjoy our look back on the athletes from Connecticut that have fulfilled their dreams of competing on the international multi-sport stage normally held once every four years.

Check out our first part of four here: CT at the Olympics 1896-1960 

Check back tomorrow for the next in our series: Connecticut at the Summer Olympics: 1960 - Present
