Diana Taurasi, the 42-year-old guard, will be making history by competing in her sixth Olympic games as a member of the U.S. women's basketball team. Taurasi, who joked about playing in Paris after the Tokyo Olympics, has now turned that joke into reality as she aims for her eighth consecutive gold medal later this month.
Since graduating from UConn in 2004 and leading the Huskies to three consecutive NCAA championships, Taurasi has been a key player on the Olympic women's team. As the WNBA's all-time scoring leader with over 10,000 points, she continues to excel on the court, currently averaging 16.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in her 20th WNBA season.
