Indiana Fever WNBA star Caitlin Clark

While she has been making the spotlight for several months in the world of women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark has not been called to be part of Team USA for the Olympic Games. Despite a classy response, she above all warned the competition.

With 30 points recently in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark is starting to find her feet in the league, and that’s not good news at all for the competition.

The Fever is delighted to have such talent in its squad, even if Team USA has decided to do without it. For those who were hoping to see Clark for the Olympic Games, we can say that it was a failure.

Caitlin Clark honest after disillusionment

Not selecting Clark is one thing, but the reason given by some media quickly became controversial.

The 22-year-old undoubtedly deserved better, even if she remained classy when appearing in front of the media this Sunday.

She explains in particular that the staff called her to warn her.

Caitlin Clark : “I got a call to let me know before all this came out in the media, which is very respectable and I really appreciate it.

They did the same for each person on the roster, because there are a lot of players considered to be part of the roster. It wasn’t fair to me, they had to make a lot of phone calls. »

“But honestly? Not much disappointment. It just gives you another reason to work. It’s a dream, and I hope one day I can be there. It adds a little motivation for the future, because we remember it. And I hope that in 4 years I can be a part of it. »

At only 22 years old, Clark in any case has the time necessary to participate in several Olympic Games. However, his presence would not have been too much for Paris this summer.

Even if she said it with a touch of humor, Clark was amused by this snob. It is the WNBA which is notified.

Caitlin Clark : “Hey coach, they woke up a monster. »

Not necessarily too disappointed, we imagine that Caitlin Clark would not have said no to participating in the Olympic Games. She will quickly turn the page, even if it is the other WNBA teams who will now pay the price.
