Jewell Loyd is mid-jump, arms in the air about to launch a basketball from beneath the net. Her toes are barely balanced on the court, and she's sporting the red, white, and blue USA uniform from the USA Women's National Team during her 2022 performance in Sydney, Australia.

Jewell Loyd played for the USA Women’s National Team in 2020 in Tokyo, 2022 in Sydney, and is joining for another round in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

USA Basketball recently announced its roster for this year’s Women’s National Team, and (surprise, surprise) Seattle’s own Jewell Loyd made the cut. The Seattle Storm guard will be taking her talents to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games.

This isn’t Loyd’s first rodeo — she also competed at the 2020 Toyko Games, bringing home the Gold Medal.
