The list of amazing athletes born or based in Colorado is impressive. Winter sports standouts who lived here during the height of their fame include alpine skiers Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin, as well as snowboarder Red Gerard and many others. And the state also has a proud legacy of incredible swimmers, thanks to the likes of Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin. Adeline Gray absolutely deserves to be in such august company: She's among America's best hopes to bring home a gold medal at the upcoming Summer Olympics, scheduled to get under way on July 23 in Tokyo following a year-long delay necessitated by the rise of COVID-19. But even though the thirty-year-old is a native Coloradan who competed in high school sports throughout the Denver area and currently resides in Colorado Springs, home of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, many hard-core sports fans in this state have never heard of her.
