Jake Arrieta: U.S. pitcher

Five Texas Christian University Horned Frogs will travel to China to compete in the Olympics, though - interestingly - only one of them appears on the U.S. Olympic Team roster.

In the Sprints competition, Lewis Banda will run for Zimbabwe; Virgil Hodge and Kim Collins will pound the turf for St. Kitts & Nevis; and Michael Frater will - um - tear up the tarmac while wearing Jamaican colors.

On the less cosmopolitan front, Jake Arrieta will pitch for the U.S. baseball team.
