What are the Chances of Becoming a Summer Olympics Track & Field Athlete?

Last updated 10 months ago

What are the odds of high school athletes making it to the Olympics? Maybe not as bad as you think!

High school aged boys have a 1 in 8,778 chance of making the U.S. Track & Field Olympic Team. For girls, it’s a little tougher – 1 in 9,079.

Compare that to high school basketball athletes – both boys and girls have a 1 in 45,487 chance of making the Olympic team!
