Another former UConn women’s basketball star is heading to the 2020 Olympics. On Monday, Gabby Williams was named to France’s Olympic roster, thus securing her place in Tokyo. Bria Hartley, who also plays for the French national team and helped them qualify for the Olympics, did not make the roster due to injury.
Though Williams was born in Sparks, Nevada, she still has family in France and is a dual citizen. She most recently played for the French team during the 2021 EuroBasket competition and helped Les Bleues take home silver. France is currently fifth in the FIBA World Rankings.
