16 Team USA athletes to cheer at the 2021 Olympics
The five-time Olympic basketball player is one of the Olympics flag-bearers and will become the oldest U.S. basketball player and the oldest woman to play at age 40 when she competes in her fifth Olympics in Tokyo. Bird and teammate Diana Taurasi are hoping to become the first players to win a fifth Olympic gold medal. She's also a four-time WNBA champion and 11-time WNBA All-Star.
Allyson Felix, a nine-time Olympic medalist, is making her fifth Olympic appearance in Tokyo, and first as a mother, competing in the 400 meters and possibly the women's 4x400 and the mixed gender 4x400, a new event. She's been an advocate for maternal leave for athletes and teamed with Athleta to fund grants for child care for athletes. If she medals, she could tie Carl Lewis' record for the most Olympic medals by an American track and field athlete.
