According to Outsports, there were at least 199 out athletes (including those who debuted earlier) at the 2024 Summer Olympics, which they reported as the most athletes competing in one edition of the Games who were widely out beforehand; Outsports also noted the record number of out male athletes, though most of the LGBTQ+ Olympians were female as in previous editions. In two women's team sport rosters, for United States women's basketball and Australia women's football, over half of the players were identified as LGBTQ (in the Australia football squad, it was two-thirds).[1][2][3] German footballer Lena Oberdorf and Colombian skateboarder Jazmín Álvarez were both included in their respective Olympic teams, but both suffered ACL and MCL injuries shortly before being able to take part.[4][5]
At least 26 LGBT+ Summer Olympians who debuted in 2024 are medalists (31.33%), of which 8 have at least one gold medal (9.64%).[a]
Δ Was known to be widely out prior to their most recent Summer Olympic competition; contemporaneously out while competing
† Came out after competing

Ngamba is a refugee in the UK, and cannot return to her birth nation of Cameroon due to homosexuality being illegal there. She is part of GB Boxing, which supported her citizenship application, but was not granted British citizenship before the 2024 Games and so could not compete for Great Britain.[26][27][28]
