You're likely familiar with many of the American Olympians, particularly the stars, like a gymnast whose name rhymes with Mimone Miles.
However there are, obviously, a number of Olympians who aren't from the U.S., and they are also worth your attention. They practice judo, dominate in gymnastics, excel at cycling and rock climbing.
But perhaps any list of international stars to watch actually begins with two remarkable track athletes:
Dina Asher-Smith, sprinter, Great Britain
She qualified for the Tokyo Olympics winning the 100-meter dash at the FBK Games in Holland with a time of 10.92 seconds. But Asher-Smith is more than just those numbers. She's someone you may hear a lot more about in these Games.
