Absolutely. In fact, Texas will likely be one of the strongest competitors in the Olympics.
If you look at the performance of Texas athletes in the 2016 Rio Olympics and compare it with the performance of all other countries, only two other countries outperformed Texas athletes in gold medals – the United States and Great Britain.Texas Olympians racked up 26 gold medals by themselves.
