“It shows you that you know you got to start working now if you want that to be your dream in four years,” said Clark
Caitlin Clark is cheering on Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics despite not making the U.S. women’s basketball team.
The Indiana Fever guard, 22, told reporters on Tuesday, July 30, that she’s watched “a good amount” of the Summer Olympics.
“I watched USA Women yesterday. That was fun. I watched USA men. I try to watch as much as I can,” she said. “Obviously, the perfect time is during practice with the time change in Paris, so maybe Christie [Sides] should cancel practice so I can watch more of the Olympics.”
When asked if she’s “bummed” not to be a part of the team, she opened up about why it only motivated her to work harder.

“I think the break’s definitely been good. I mean, it’s certainly cool. It’s like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you’re only going to ever get in four years. So, I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily bummed,” she said. “I think it gives you something to work for, for sure, and something to dream of.”

“And [in] four years, you can be there, and four years comes fast,” continued Clark. “It makes me think of like that’s your time in college. And I feel like I was just a freshman in college. So it shows you that you know you got to start working now if you want that to be your dream in four years. So I think that’s just that’s it for me is like, you know, work hard, and hopefully you can be there.”
