if you want to represent the USA in the Olympics

and you are from a different country and an American citizen

ca you still represent the USA or not since your not born in the states?

Example: I'm from Denmark and i move to america and become an american citizen; can i represent the USA or i have to represent Denmark?

Answer 1

I agree with the other two questions.  Also some Americans represent other countries.  But you might have to be a US citizen  for a certain time. Well if you try to rep. the US, good luck. and if you make it i hope you win a gold medal, or maybe a few!    

Answer 2

Well Nastia Liukin was born in Moscow, came here when she was young and just won medals for the US so I'm assuming yes.

Answer 3

You can represent the US if your a US citizen.

Answer 4

If you are citizen of USA you are eligible to participate
