Spain’s Olympic Football Team Excludes Euro Stars Yamal, Williams, and Pedri

Spain’s Olympic football squad for the Paris Games will be without Euro Championship stars Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Pedri, despite their age eligibility. The trio will instead enjoy a well-deserved break after the European Championship concludes. Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí, who missed the Euro squad, has been selected for the Olympic team. Three over-age players, Sergio Gómez, Abel Ruiz, and Juan Miranda, complete the 22-player roster.

Caitlin Clark’s WNBA Debut Could Punch Her Olympic Ticket

Caitlin Clark, the top draft pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, will showcase her skills in the league as she aims to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team for the Paris Games. The selection committee, led by Jennifer Rizzotti, will closely observe Clark’s performances as she begins her WNBA career with the Connecticut Sun. Despite missing the recent U.S. training camp due to her collegiate commitments, Clark’s strong international experience and talent make her a potential candidate for the Olympic roster. With the team’s roster set to be announced in June, Clark’s WNBA debut will serve as a crucial audition for her Olympic aspirations.
