More than 20 Olympians have played for Sky Blue FC since the team was founded.
For many athletes, there is one common goal: an Olympic gold medal.
All around the world, children grow up watching athletes compete against the best in the world and all for the honor and glory of standing atop the medal podium, gold medal around their necks, listening to their country’s national anthem playing.
The Olympics is the pinnacle of some athletes’ careers, especially for those without a professional league for their sports. For others, such as soccer, that have both professional leagues and other major tournaments of their own, the dream of Olympic gold is still very much real.
