Snoop Dogg gets a pole vault lesson during the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Team Trials on June 23, 2024, in Eugene, Ore.From Simone Biles to Sha'Carri Richardson and Diana Taurasi to Katie Ledecky, Team USA will provide some of the biggest star power at the 2024 Olympic Games.
It’s a loaded U.S. roster where the women outnumber the men 314 to 278, and ages range from 16 to 59. The most decorated member of Team USA in Paris will be Ledecky, who’s trying to add to her collection of 10 medals .Biles is back in action after pulling out of multiple gymnastics finals in Tokyo to protect her mental health and safety. There’s Richardson who is making her Olympic debut after a much-debated absence three years ago because of a positive marijuana test.
The 24-year-old Richardson, who graces the cover of Vogue magazine, said she was “overwhelmed with the emotions of just joy” after making the team.On the court, hoops royalty LeBron James and Diana Taurasi lead their teams. And it’s no surprise that the men’s and women’s basketball squads brimming with talent are heavy favourites to bring home the gold.
NBC has been airing promotional Olympic material around the clock. There’s Biles being interviewed by singer SZA. Other athletes featured in spots include Richardson, sprinter Noah Lyles, 400-metre hurdles world-record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Ledecky and reigning Olympic all-around gymnastics winner Suni Lee.
