Olympic squad announced
The names you’d expect fill the roster (so far) of the U.S. Women’s National Team. From the AP via ESPN:
- Candace Parker
- Lisa Leslie
- Sue Bird
- Cappie Pondexter
- Diana Taurasi
- Katie Smith
- Tina Thompson
- Seimone Augustus
- Sylvia Fowles
But it wasn’t that hard, according to head coach Anne Donovan.
“These nine players are no-brainers,” U.S. Olympic coach Anne Donovan said. “It’s so exciting to have these nine players officially named to the team. It’s such a great mixture of Olympic gold medalists with some really tremendous young talent.”
The Olympic run for the red, white and blue begin August 9.
