TEXAS OLYMPIC MEDALISTS
This is a list of athletes with Texas connections who have won medals in Olympic Games. This includes those born in Texas and those living in Texas at the time they competed.
Information included is: the athlete's name, the sport and the year, as well as the types of medals (G-Gold, S-Silver, B-Bronze). If the athlete won more than one of the same kind of medal in any one Games, the number is noted before the letter
code; i.e., 2G indicates that the athlete won two gold medals in the games indicated.
The symbol (†) following the medal code indicates that the athlete participated in preliminary contests only; the medal was awarded because of membership on a winning team. Years in which the athlete participated in the Games but did not win a medal are not included.
Track indicates all track and field events except those noted separately.
