Indiana University has produced at least one athlete in every Olympiad since the 1932 event in Los Angeles, a streak that continues this summer with the Tokyo Games.
All told, a total of 15 current and former IU athletes — and two coaches, Drew Johansen (diving), Ray Looze (swimming) — are in Japan, representing six countries across the sports of men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s diving, women’s soccer and women’s water polo. IU is not only used to sending a sizable contingent, it has a history of producing medalists. The Hoosiers’ medal count is 104, including 55 gold, 17 silver and 32 bronze.
