Stacy's Olympics Blog

 You've got to go check these out!  There is so much to see in just one of these posters and there are two!  Created by Ugo Gattoni, they depict a fantasy landscape of Paris, the Olympic Games, and Paralympic Games, and all the symbols you associated with all of these things.  They are beautiful!

 Morelle McCane is a Cleveland girl and has qualified for the Paris Olympics in boxing by winning a Silver medal at the Pan-Am games. She is the first woman boxer to qualify from Cleveland but the 5th person from Cleveland to qualify.  We seem to have quite the boxing team here in The Land!

 Caitlin Clark, the Iowa women's college basketball phenom, has been in the news a lot lately.  I have to admin that watching her play is mesmerizing and I really don't enjoy watching basketball very much!  I  she has taken the world by storm lately.  So the question is....could she be on one of our women's basketball teams for the Paris Olympic Games this summer?   I would love to see her have the opportunity but the try-out schedule may be too much for her to keep up obligations for her current team.  USA Today has a great article on her that was published not long ago.  See the link below:  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaw/2024/02/02/caitlin-clark-2024-paris-olympic-team-selection/72454862007/
