Your guide to watching Longhorn Olympians

Editor’s Note: This article first appeared as part of the July 26 flipbook.

With the 2021 Olympics already underway, several current and former Longhorns have made their mark in Tokyo.

Chief among them is softball star and Texas alumnus Cat Osterman, who shined in her first two starts. The 38-year-old came out of retirement for the Olympics and still hasn’t allowed an earned run while pitching for No. 1-ranked USA.


She’ll hope that continues in the gold medal game against No. 2 Japan at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, which you can wake up to catch on NBC Sports Network or watch the replay at 8:45 p.m.

But Osterman is only one of 26 current, former and even incoming Texas athletes competing in Tokyo.

Here’s how you can watch some of the other Longhorns during the Olympics:
