With 500+ athletes now qualified for the U.S. Olympic team, I'm pretty confident that the oldest U.S. Olympian in Tokyo will be Phillip Dutton (equestrian, 57, oldest since 2008). The youngest will be Katie Grimes (swimming, 15, youngest since Katie Ledecky in 2012).

Fun fact: The youngest Olympic swimming gold medalist ever is Japan’s Kyoko Iwasaki (200 breast, 1992, Age 14).

I hope Fink is more focused on Tokyo than ISL at this time!
