Six Tigers to Compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics

The 2020 Summer Olympics are set to begin in about a month and so far four former Tigers will be competing in Tokyo as part of Team USA.

Sylvia Fowles will be representing the United States for the fourth time as the Americans look to continue their dominance in women’s basketball and win its seventh straight gold medal. In fact the United States hasn’t lost a game in Olympic competition since 1992.

Fowles and her 11 teammates will begin preparing for the Games in Las Vegas sometime in July. Team USA will play against a collection of the WNBA’s best and Australia and Nigeria before traveling to Tokyo.
