South Carolina coach Dawn Staley lets her inner fangirl out for A’ja Wilson at the Paris Olympics
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley was in Paris to witness the Men’s Basketball gold medal game against France. During the course of the Paris Olympics, the South Carolina coach has been meeting with legendary athletes.
She posted a picture with A’ja Wilson and USA track and field athlete Sha’Carri Richardson, letting her inner fangirl out in the captions of the post.
“GOAT ME PLEASE!! @_ajawilson22 @itsshacarri (I’m so blankety blank happy for this one alright here) @OmarSySy,” Staley wrote.
Staley has been making headlines for her comments about the Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark. However, her little detour to Paris has given her fans some relief from the Clark news.
Richardson lived up to Staley’s praise as she won the gold medal in the women’s 4×100 relay race.
Meanwhile, A’ja Wilson also proved herself as one of the greatest players to ever play for the United States of America. She led the Women’s Team USA to a gold medal finish after the Men’s Team USA did the same against France.
