Caitlin Clark may not be on Team USA for the 2024 Summer Olympics, but she is still one of the biggest storylines surrounding the team on their quest to win gold for their country.
The Americans wrapped up group play on Sunday with an 87-68 victory over Germany, setting up a date against Nigeria in the knockout rounds that will take place on Wednesday.
While the game itself was entertaining, a pair of young fans ended up going viral while they were in attendance. That's because they were wearing Clark's old Iowa jersey from her college days, even though she isn't even on the Team USA squad.
Some folks have doubted Clark's global impact, but it's become clear as day during the 2024 Olympics that she is one of the biggest athletes in the world.
The fact that a pair of young fans in France are wearing Clark's jersey to a game she's not even playing in is a testament to just how big of a star she is.
While Clark didn't play in this game for Team USA, she will be back on the court later in August when the Indiana Fever return from the WNBA's lengthy break.
