Thomas, Eaton headline Delta's athlete roster for Paris Games

Sprinter Gabby Thomas, skateboarder Jagger Eaton and Paralympic cyclist Oksana Masters were included in Delta's 15-athlete roster in advance of the 2024 Paris Games. Save for break dancer Victor Montalvo, whose sport is making its debut in Paris, Delta's roster is made up entirely of Olympians and Paralympians. It includes Allyson Felix, who is retired from competition but holds a U.S. record 11 Olympic medals in track, water polo player Ashleigh Johnson and rugby player Ilona Maher. Delta will support athletes' travel, while they will engage with employees and customers and appear across media. Delta in 2020 signed a $400M sponsorship deal with LA28 and NBCUniversal to serve as a domestic sponsor through 2028. Wheelchair rugby player Chuck Aoki, wheelchair basketball player Trevon Jenifer, swimmer Chase Kalisz, sitting volleyball player Kaleo Maclay, climber Brooke Raboutou, Parlympic swimmer and triathlete Brad Snyder, Paralympic jumper Roderick Townsend and Paralympic swimmer Mallory Weggemann fill out the rest of Delta's roster.
