The 2024 Paris Olympics concluded with Team USA achieving remarkable success. Despite recent criticism from basketball fans for not selecting Caitlin Clark on the roster, the American women’s basketball team made history by winning their 8th consecutive gold medal. Following the international competition, Clark, the standout player from the Indiana Fever, displayed impressive skills on the WNBA court.
In her first game after the Olympics against the Phoenix Mercury, the 22-year-old star player delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 29 points, 10 assists, and grabbing 5 rebounds in 36 minutes of play.
However, during a post-game interview, Clark expressed dissatisfaction with her performance. When asked by reporters, she admitted that she needs time to regain her dominance after the prolonged break due to the Olympics.
“I called for a sub six minutes in, if I’m being honest. And I was like, holy cow… I was like I need a quick minute here (laughing), because we were playing fast and then my defense isn’t as good and is kind of a liability for my team. So, just gotta get a second to breathe,” Clark said.
Numerous fans and other players, including a legendary former NBA player have praised Clark’s performance.
Kevin Garnett Awestruck by Clark’s Stunning Performance
Kevin Garnett, often considered one of the greatest power forwards of all time, was amazed by Clark’s skills during the first game after the Olympics. The former NBA player recently praised the Fever star in his latest post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“What if @CaitlinClark22’s Olympic break was the off-season adjustment for the league that @wnba rookies don’t get before their 1st season… shyt looked crazy out there yesterday…Can tell she was in the film room..” Garnett wrote.
Clark is regarded as one of the greatest collegiate players ever and has achieved numerous milestones. In the 2024 WNBA season, the former Iowa player averaged 17.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 27 games. Seeing Clark’s performance in the upcoming game against the Seattle Storm will be exciting.
Embarrassing Fact Surfaces About Attractive Norwegian Pole Vaulter Who’s Been Blowing Up During The Olympics

Norwegian pole vaulter Embla Matilde Njerve has been trending online during the current Olympic Games, but fans will likely be embarrassed after finding something out.
Pole vaulters have been a popular show at these games, and not just for their pole vaulting prowess. One athlete went viral after his shaft prevented him from qualifying by latching onto the bar, while another did the rounds because she celebrated by twerking.
Pole vaulting is done at the Olympics, with Mondo Duplantis of Sweden winning the men’s competition and Australian Nina Kennedy winning the women’s. Still, Njerve is the one who’s been attracting most of the attention on social media.
There’s one problem, however. The Norway international was never at the Olympics.
