Multiple Tokyo Olympic medalists are expected to vie for Olympic spots, including reigning Olympic gold medalist and world men’s 86 kg champion David Taylor; two-time Olympic men’s freestyle 97 kg medalist Kyle Snyder, who in 2016 became the youngest wrestler ever to win an NCAA, world, and Olympic title in the same year; and Helen Maroulis, a two-time Olympic medalist, who became the first U.S. woman to win a gold medal in wrestling when she won the 53 kg event in Rio.

STAMFORD, Conn. – April 4, 2024 – The road to the Olympic Games Paris 2024 for the United States’ best and brightest athletes starts here: NBCUniversal will present comprehensive coverage of Making Team USA Presented by Xfinity — the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Trials — this spring and summer. NBCU is presenting over 200 hours of coverage, including more than 35 hours in primetime on NBC in the lead up to the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris, France, which take place July 26-Aug. 11.

Team USA is arguably the hardest Olympic team to make and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Trials are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of the athletes involved, representing the culmination of decades of training and preparation. NBCU’s Making Team USA coverage strives not only to capture the athletic performances at the Trials but to also include athlete-led storytelling and behind-the-scenes content to fully present the experience of qualifying for the Olympics.

“All the drama we love about the Olympics begins with Making Team USA, when our nation’s best athletes vie to make the most competitive team in the world. In some events, it’s harder to qualify for the U.S. team than it is to win a medal at the Olympics themselves,” said Molly Solomon, Executive Producer & President of NBC Olympics Production. “Earning a place on Team USA is a lifelong dream for these athletes and most of them get only one opportunity to do so, which is what makes the competition so fierce and the drama so compelling. But the reward for all the hard work is sweet — once you make Team USA, you’re an Olympian for life.”

“The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Trials offer some of the best competition anywhere in the world – a testament to the excellence and depth of the athlete pool striving to represent Team USA in Paris this summer,” said Rocky Harris, USOPC chief of sport and athlete services. “We are looking forward to the Paris Games – opening just a little more than 100 days from now – but first we join fans around the country in celebrating the awesome effort of athletes giving their all to make Team USA.”

As presenting sponsor, Xfinity will partner with NBCUniversal to shine a light on the journeys of these remarkable athletes across its connectivity and entertainment platforms.  Xfinity is also rolling out its Xfinity Athlete Connections program, which will provide a “connections credit” to each athlete who qualifies for the 2024 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams to help them remain connected while pursuing their dreams this summer.

“The Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 will be nothing short of extraordinary. As a proud partner of Team USA, we’re honored to spotlight the incredible athletes on their path to Making Team USA,” said Matt Lederer, Vice President, Brand Partnerships & Amplification, Xfinity. “And, our Xfinity Athlete Connections program will keep Team USA athletes connected to what matters most during their pursuit of Olympic and Paralympic gold.”

NBCU’s April coverage consists of wrestling, rowing, and canoe/kayaking while June covers swimming, diving, track & field, and gymnastics, including 14 nights in primetime on NBC

NBCU has already presented U.S. Olympic Team Trials coverage of Boxing, the Marathon, and Table Tennis.
