This is Why We Are #TeamUSA: Join Us
Amidst the world's challenges and conflicts, the Olympics remind us to celebrate the pursuit of dreams and the strength of the human spirit. Cheering for our athletes can serve as a reminder of our collective strength, hope, and potential for greatness.
This is why we are #TeamUSA
Beyond Winning
Excellence
Solidarity
Team USA is not our government. Beyond winning, Team USA is about excellence and solidarity.
It’s about the record-breaking achievements of Michael Phelps… the versatility and dominance of Allyson Felix... the unprecedented skill and innovation of Simone Biles… the longevity and consistency of Jackie Joyner-Kersee... the iconic moments of Carl Lewis… the advocacy and impact of Jesse Owens… the comeback stories of Sha’carri Richardson…
Past, present and future. These athletes remind us of the best that we all have to offer. When watching the Olympics with your families and friends, we hope you enjoy the elite competition in the spirit it was created: emphasizing the importance of striving together, not just winning. (Although winning does amplify the spirit… Team USA is the all-time leader of Olympic gold medals with over 1,200... HEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!).
