Caitlan Clark is 21 or 22 years old, everyone on the Olympic Team has played multiple years of professional in the WNBA and around the world, Caitlan Clark is in her first year of professional basketball.
It’s probably too early in her career for Caitlan Clark to be on the Olympic Team, baring something unforeseen she will be on the 2028 team and probably a couple more teams after that.
Her not being on the team this year is much to do about nothing.
Plenty of teenagers have been in the Olympics. Her age has nothing to do with it.
You do realize this before the rules were changed to allow professional athletes to compete in the Olympics. It was all amateur athletics at the college level. The amateur athlete concept has been totally destroyed. Your argument makes no sense whatsoever, nor does anybody else is concerning who plays in the Olympics.
No professional athletes whatsoever should be playing in the Olympics but evidently we can’t go back and change things. That’s why I have no use for the Olympics. The true amateur is gone.
