This Friday, on the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, Coco shared a selfie with the “King” just before the inaugural moment and it caused great amount of cjoy around the sports community, athletes around the world, fans and followers.

James, with a career spanning two decades, has been a pillar of world basketball. His career in the NBA, full of achievements and titles, has established him as an iconic figure not only on the court, but also off it. His leadership and commitment to various social causes have inspired millions, and now, as captain of the Olympic basketball team, James represents the strength and resilience of American sports.

Coco Gauff is the future of USA sports

At his side, Coco Gauff personifies youth and emerging talent in tennis. At 20 years old, the tennis player has captured global attention with her victory at the 2023 US Open and her rapid rise to number two in the WTA rankings.

Beyond her skills on the court, Gauff has become a powerful voice on issues of social justice, her fight against racism and her advocacy for gender equality in sports. Her maturity and determination have made her a role model for new generations.

The honor of carrying the flag at the opening ceremony is a recognition of their sporting excellence and their positive impact on society. For Gauff, this moment in Paris will not only be an opportunity to showcase his sporting prowess, but also to continue his legacy of inspiration and change.
