Team USA will feature some exciting young faces at the Tokyo Olympics.
Sydney McLaughlin, Noah Lyles, and Morgan Hurd are just some of the budding stars representing America this year.
The young competitors will look to show their skills on the world stage and build up their global reputations in Tokyo.
The Olympics are a proving ground for young, ambitious athletes to claim their moment on the world stage.
After a year of delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, America's finest young athletes are reved up and ready to show what they can do. And they're ready to do it in front of a global audience at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
Here's a look at the young Americans looking to achieve global fame at this year's Summer Olympics.
Sydney McLaughlin - Track and Field
Sydney McLaughlin is already a budding household name after becoming the youngest American to participate in the Olympics since 1972 at the Rio games in 2016. At just 16 years of age, McLaughlin finished 16th in the 400-meter hurdles.
Five years later, a polished McLaughlin, who claimed first place at the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships, is a heavy favorite to bring a medal to the United States.
Noah Lyles - Track and Field
Noah Lyles has done something only once achieved by the great Usain Bolt.
In 2018, Lyles broke the 19.7-second mark in the 200-meter dash at four different competitions. Lyles has no shortage of confidence that he could be in the same class as Bolt. In 2016, he took a risk on himself by passing on a scholarship offer from the University of Florida to jump straight into the pros, according to Stephen Ruiz of the Orlando Sentinel.
He's been nothing short of the world's fastest-rising sprinting star ever since.
Grant Holloway did enroll at Florida, but there was a catch. Holloway initially committed to play wide receiver for the Gators' storied football program but came to the epiphany that, deep down, he didn't see himself as a 'team player,' according to NBC.
