The United States will be sending four judokas to compete at the 2024 Paris Games. One will be appearing at their third Olympic Games, while the rest will all be making their Olympic debuts.

Find out more below about the quartet competing in judo for Team USA this summer.

Jack Yonezuka, 21, is the youngest member of the 2024 U.S. Olympic judo team and the third member of his family to be part of an Olympic team in some way. His father, Nick Yonezuka, was named to the 1980 Olympic team for judo but never competed due to the U.S. boycott of those Moscow Games. His grandfather, Yoshisada Yonezuka, later coached the U.S. team at the 1988 and 1992 Games. Competing at the junior world championships, Jack earned bronze in 2022 and silver in 2023. In doing so, he became the first U.S. man in 30 years to win a junior world championship medal and the first ever to win multiple. He's currently ranked 20th in the men's 73kg (161 lbs.) class.

A citizen of three different countries (the United States, Great Britain and Bulgaria), John Jayne is headed to his first Olympics at age 27. He wrestled at the University of Chicago while also competing internationally in judo. More recently, he's earned medals at each of the last three Pan American Championships, including a silver medal in 2024. Ranked No. 32 in the men's 90kg (198 lbs.) class, Jayne secured his spot in Paris via a continental quota place.

Ranked No. 11 in the world in women's 48kg (106 lbs.), 33-year-old Maria Laborde currently holds the distinction of being the highest-ranked American in any weight class. After winning a bronze medal for Cuba — where she was born — at the 2014 World Championships, Laborde didn't compete internationally for more than seven years. During that time, she moved to the U.S., became a citizen, and started competing for Team USA. In 2023, she won a silver medal at the World Masters, becoming the first American in seven years to earn a medal at the prestigious invite-only event.

Angelica Delgado, 33, is headed to her third Olympics. After a first-round exit at Rio 2016, she won her first match at Tokyo 2020 by ippon before losing in the Round of 16. Currently ranked 19th in the women's 52kg (115 lbs.) class, Delgado is a three-time Pan American Games bronze medalist (2011, 2015, 2023) and a three-time IJF Grand Slam medalist. She's also a first-generation American born to Cuban immigrants. Her father, Miguel Delgado, was formerly a member of Cuba's national judo team before fleeing to the U.S. in the 1980s.
