Caitlin Clark explains that being left out of the 2024 Summer Olympics is “no disappointment” and that she’s already looking to the next Games in four years.
After scoring the most points in NCAA basketball history, becoming the top pick in the WNBA draft, and tying rookie records in her first month in the pros, Caitlin Clark was on such a roll in 2024 that the upcoming Olympic Games seemed like they were going to follow in line. So when news broke this weekend that Clark reportedly didn’t make the roster, it was a jolt to loads of basketball fans who were hoping to see her represent Team USA on the sport’s biggest stage.
“Caitlin Clark, through no fault of her own, was not able to participate in any of those training camps,” Lobo said. “So she didn’t have that chance.” And although the official roster hasn’t been released yet by the US Olympic Committee, The Athletic reports that its selections skew in favor of pro experience. In fact, 26-year-old Sabrina Ionescu is slated to be the youngest on the team.
