U.S. women’s tennis star Coco Gauff shared a memory that will last forever before the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Gauff, who was chosen alongside men’s basketball star LeBron James as one of the flag bearers for Team USA, took a once-in-a-lifetime selfie with all of the basketball athletes and tennis athletes before the opening ceremony.
There is an absolutely wild amount of star power and talent represented from both the parquet and clay courts in this one photograph. Many may come home to the United States with new gold medals to showcase for all of their hard work:
