Caitlin Clark was left out of the USA’s women’s basketball roster for the Olympic Games in Paris. The WNBA rookie has been a huge hit ever since her move to the elite level of basketball in the country and her omission from the squad has not gone unnoticed by fans and media, who are quizzical as to why such a talented young player has missed out.

While the Indiana Fever have not had the best start to the season, Clark has shone in almost every game.

What did Caitlin Clark say about her Olympic snub?

While the team is stacked with Olympic experience, arguably nobody on the roster possesses the natural talent of Clark who, as well as breaking WNBA records for a rookie, is also attracting an unprecedented amount of attention to the sport as a whole in the USA and beyond.

First of all, let’s take a look at what Caitlin Clark herself had to say.

Here’s how the internet has reacted to Clark’s snub…

Mully on Caitlin Clark being left off the Team USA roster for the Olympics: “I think she’s been snubbed. I think it’s an insult. And I think it’s adding insult to insult. She’s been treated poorly since she got into the league.”

The US Women’s Basketball team have dominated the sport like no other: they have won gold medals on every occasion except one since 1984. Their only non-gold finish came at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, where they achieved bronze.

The Olympic Opening Ceremony begins in Paris on July 26 at 7.30 p.m. CET (1:30 p.m. ET / 10.30 a.m. PT), and the tournament will continue until Sunday 11 August when the Stade Denis in Paris will host the closing ceremony to mark the end of the Games.
