What Top Athletes Are Competing at the 2024 Olympics?
Quite a few known athletes are coming back to the Olympics for Team USA. Among the most notable names are swimmer Katie Ledecky, Noah Lyles, Simone Biles, Sha’carri Richardson and LeBron James.
Before returning to the world’s biggest stage, Simone opened up about training for the games at 27 years old — an age that many are skeptical about with athletes. But the GOAT of gymnastics and many others have proven that assumption wrong.
“I was like, ‘OK, I want to go to the Olympics again.’ And they were like, ‘No,’” Simone said about her coaches during an appearance on TODAY. “And I was like, ‘That’s strange. That’s so weird.’ “And then they were kind of like, ‘Get back in the gym. Get your skills back. Let’s see if you actually want to do this so that we’re all collectively deciding that we’re really going to go for it.’”
While pointing out that she and the rest of her teammates are “going to get the job done,” Simone added, “I think it’s going to be just like Rio, having family there to support whatever we need, but really just having fun, embracing that moment, making those memories. I’m excited that I get to do it with my family.”
