Team USA celebrates 100 days until the Olympics by lighting up the Empire State Building red, white and blue ahead of Paris Games

Team USA celebrated the Olympics being just 100 days out on Wednesday with a lighting ceremony at Empire State Building.

Nine athletes gathered at the famous site with barely more than three months until the Paris games, with the skyscraper lit up in red, white and blue in honor of America.

Before the Team USA representatives took to the world-famous observation deck, a model of the Empire State Building was also lit up as para archer Matt Stutzman and sailor Daniela Moroz ‘flipped the switch.’

The group of athletes also included para canoer Blake Haxton, para swimmer Jessica Long, para track and field athlete Nick Mayhugh, gymnast Evita Griskenas, paralympic volleyball player Kaleo Kanahele Maclay, and sailor Hans Henken.

Long, in particular, is extremely decorated as a Paralympian with 29 medals (16 gold) in five previous appearances at the games.

Mayhugh, as well, racked up three gold medals in Tokyo, while Stutzman won a silver medal in 2012. 

Moroz and Henken will be making their Olympic debuts.

The Olympic games start on July 26 and run through August 11.
