Led by soon-to-be five-time Olympians Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, the U.S. Olympic Women’s Basketball Team is an even mix of six veterans and six athletes headed to their first Olympic Games.
Sylvia Fowles returns for a fourth Olympic team, only the seventh U.S. basketball player to do so, while Tina Charles will play on her second.
