The Salt Lake Tribune will have you covered in Rio de Janeiro.

The Tribune will be sending three veteran journalists to cover the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, led by sports columnist Kurt Kragthorpe, who has covered six summer and winter games dating back to Nagano in 1998.

Kragthorpe will be joined by Olympics and winter sports beat writer Christopher Kamrani, who is covering his first Games, and longtime Tribune photographer Rick Egan, who is covering his third Olympics.

The Trib trio will focus its coverage on the 21 athletes with Utah ties who will be competing in Rio, but will also stay on top of the big stories and give readers a regular taste of the sights and sounds of perhaps the most exotic locale ever chosen to host an Olympics.

You can find their coverage across all of The Tribune's publishing platforms, including the print edition and http://www.sltrib.com. That's where you'll also find the Trib's Olympics blog, which will be up and running on Friday — the day the Games begin.
