The London Olympics will open up later this week and 9 athletes with ties to the University of Wisconsin will be participating. Six of those are on Team USA. Mohammed Ahmed will compete for Team Canada in the 10,000 meters. Team Canada didn’t expect Ahmed to make the team as they had him pegged for the 2016 Summer Games. The last time an active Wisconsin Badger competed in the summer games was back in 1996.
