Paris Olympic Games Posters

Image
 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! Here's a link:  https://olympics.com/en/news/paris-2024-olympic-paralympic-games-official-posters-unveiled-ugo-gattoni?utm_source=mc&utm_medium=crm-b2c&utm_content=newsletter_crm-owned_ENG_ad-hoc_na_EN_2024-03-05_na_na_na_na&utm_campaign=newsletter_crm-owned_ENG_ad-hoc-Mar-NA-ve_na_EN_na&sfmc_e=9264b60f-a2b8-4e90-a999-6eaf36c158b7

Could Caitlin Clark make Team USA for Paris Olympics?

Image
 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/
