Caitlin Clark revealed she is “not disappointed” after not making it into the 2024 Paris Olympics USA team. “I was a kid who grew up watching the Olympics, so it’ll be fun to watch them. I think it just gives you something to work for.
Hopefully in four years, I can be there,” shared the 22-year-old. “I’m excited for the girls that are on the team..
.I know it’s the most competitive team in the world and I know it could’ve gone either way,” said the Indiana Fever player via a post shared by sports reporter Chloe Peterson on X . The first-round-pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft found out the news while on the team bus in which she reached out to her coach, Christie Sides .
“The thing she said was, ‘Hey coach, they woke a monster, which I thought was awesome,” admitted the Fever coach. When it comes to not making the Olympic team, Caitlin Clark has nothing but praise for the 12 who made it: “it’s the toughest team to make.” Clip: pic.
