Sports: Record number of Olympic athletes are openly LGBTQI

Outdoor sports is a website that is focused on LGBTQI issues in the sports world.

They are the ones who made the compilation, where they state that there are at least 193 active people who are openly LGBTQI. That’s seven more than at Tokyo 2021 – and a whopping eight times as many as at London 2012. When they started making tallies during the 2000 Olympics, they found just five.

– More and more people are coming out. They have understood that it is important, says Outsport founder Jim Buzinski, according to the AP news agency.

Fully 90 percent of the people on the list are women, and the country with the most active users is the United States (32, of which 31 are women)
