It feels like everyone and their mother is living their best White Lotus life this summer in Europe, and now, you can feel jealous that you’re not in Paris and that you’re not Coco Gauff.
The 2024 Paris Olympics begin on Friday, July 26th, and Team USA boasts a ludicrously capacious roster of female talent — the gymnastics team has not one but two Olympic all-around gold medalists in Simone Biles and Suni Lee, swimmer Katie Ledecky returns to add to her collection of 10 Olympic medals, and track star Sha’Carri Richardson is poised for a supersonic comeback.
These women are superhuman, and while they may seem anything but relatable to us as they flip through the air and launch over hurdles while we sit in our pajamas eating Doritos, at the end of the day, they have some girlypop tendencies just like the rest of us!
To get to know these athletes ahead of cheering them on this summer, we created Official Betches Olympic trading cards, so you can form a personal bond in knowing that you have the same favorite lip gloss as an Olympic long jumper. (Warning: this can and will make you depressed that you’re not doing the “Apple” dance with these gals at the Olympic Village).
