The actual answer is 'Captain Canada' Ian Millar, who is savouring his 10th Summer Olympics in London 2012. He was 25 years old when he first took part in the Olympics at 25 in 1972. At 65 years old this may unfortunately be this talented equestrian's last trip to the Olympics; but I for one hope that he continues and ends up as also the oldest person to compete in the Olympics! He'd only have to compete in 2 more Olympic Games to get that title as well!
That was the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing where 11,028 athletes competed.
Ian Millar has competed in the most Olympic games with 10 appearances.
USC has had more Olympians (as well as gold medalists and overall medalists) than any other U.S. college/university. The school has had 396 athletes (prior to the 2012 Olympics) who attended the university before, during or after the time they competed in the Olympic Games.
That number has not yet been determined since most Olympic committees have not had all of their competitions to determine who will be selected. There were 10,625 athletes that competed in the 2004 Games in Athens so it would be safe to say the number of athletes will be over 10,000.
Ian Millar (Canada) will be competing in his TENTH Olympic games in Beijing in 2008 in Equestrian events.
UGA has 27!
hi im bye
China has the most athletes with 638 competing in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
United States and China
The United States Olympic Committee sent a total of 539 athletes to the Olympics in London to compete in 25 sports. Only the Host nation had more athletes
That is a tough question to answer without having the roster of each Olympic team Kenya has fielded. It would be safe to say that there have been many hundreds of Olympic athletes representing Kenya, most of whom have competed in athletics and boxing. Kenya has won 61 total Olympic medals (17 gold, 24 silver, 20 bronze). 54 of these medals have been won in athletics and 7 have been won in boxing. In the 2008 Games, Kenyan athletes are expected to compete in athletics, boxing, rowing, swimming, and taekwondo.
Peruvian athletes have competed in both summer and winter Olympic games over the years with their most successful Olympics being the 1948 London games where Edwin Vásquez won a gold medal for shooting in the men's 50m pistol event. For more information please see the related link.
