WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark was not included on the Team USA roster for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. While she undoubtedly would have liked to make the team and represent her country in the Olympics, she seems to have had a pretty mature response to the unfortunate decision.
During a recent interview, Caitlin Clark made it clear that she was not “bummed” to miss out on making Team USA, but she will use it as motivation to make the team in the future.
“I wouldn’t say I’m bummed,” Clark said according to the Indianapolis Star. “It gives you something to work for, I’m sure, and something to dream of, and in four years you can be there. Four years comes fast. That’s your time in college, and I feel like I was just a freshman in college.
“It shows you that you’ve got to start working now if you want that to be your dream in four years. That’s it for me – work hard and hopefully you can be there.”
Even though she didn’t make the team, she will still be rooting for them to take home the gold medal.
“I’m excited for the girls that are on the team,” Clark said. “I’m excited for them, going to be rooting them on to win gold. I was a kid who grew up watching the Olympics and it’ll be fun watching.”
