claim: “Caitlin Clark has officially joined the Canadian women's Olympic team.”
evidence: Caitlin Clark's Olympics snub took a major turn, and there is evidence she could join the team after all. Originally, there was a cavalcade of backlash when it was announced Clark would not be going to the Olympics to play for Team USA women's basketball. "Leaving Caitlin Clark off the women's Olympic team is the dumbest s*** I've ever heard," Dave Portnoy wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on June 8 alongside a fiery video message. All that blustering outrage could prove to be for naught, as a key member of the Olympic team could be stepping aside to make way for Clark. [...] One reason that Caitlin Clark was an appealing alternate for the women's basketball team at the Olympics was how she handled being excluded from the roster. People wondered how Clark would react after being left off, but the highly-touted rookie took the news in stride. "I know it's the most competitive team in the world and I know it could've gone either way of me being on the team," she told reporters on June 9, per NBC News. In fact, Clark was not shocked to not make the team. "Honestly, no disappointment," she told the press about not being named an Olympian. The Indiana Fever star was not only fine with not making Team USA, but showed support for the women who were going to the Olympics. "I'm gonna be rooting them on to win gold," Clark added.
