The Team USA women’s basketball squad recently suffered a loss to the WNBA All-Stars, but Caitlin Clark remains confident in their ability to win gold at the 2024 Olympics. Despite not being on the Olympic roster, Clark believes that the team will dominate and secure the top spot in Paris.
According to the odds, the American women’s basketball team is the heavy favorite to win the gold medal this summer, with Australia coming in second. The team has a strong history of success, having won gold nine times and maintaining a streak of gold medals since the 1996 Atlanta games.
The roster for this year’s Olympic team includes a mix of WNBA veterans, champions, and Olympians like Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson, and Chelsea Gray. New additions to the team include Alyssa Thomas, Sabrina Ionescu, and Kahleah Copper.
Despite not being selected for the Olympic team, Caitlin Clark’s performance against the USA women’s team has sparked a discussion about her potential impact on the roster. Colin Cowherd believes that Clark’s playmaking abilities and skill set would have been beneficial to the team, citing her impressive performance in the recent matchup.
While some may argue that Clark’s presence could have been a distraction, Cowherd believes that her absence from the team is more of a distraction. He contends that Clark deserves a spot on the Olympic roster based on her talent and contributions to the game.
Overall, the odds point to Team USA as the favorites to win the gold, but the debate surrounding Caitlin Clark’s inclusion on the team continues. Despite the differing opinions, one thing is clear – the women’s basketball Olympic team is poised for success in Paris.
