It feels like everyone and their mother is living their best\xa0White Lotus\xa0life this summer in Europe, and now, you can feel jealous that you’re not in Paris\xa0and\xa0that\xa0you’re not Coco Gauff.\xa0

\xa0

The\xa02024 Paris Olympics\xa0begin on Friday, July 26th, and Team USA boasts a ludicrously capacious roster of female talent — the gymnastics team has not one but\xa0two\xa0Olympic all-around gold medalists in Simone Biles and Suni Lee, swimmer Katie Ledecky returns to add to her collection of 10 Olympic medals, and track star Sha’Carri Richardson is poised for a supersonic comeback.\xa0

\xa0

These women are superhuman, and while they may seem anything but relatable to us as they flip through the air and launch over hurdles while we sit in our pajamas eating Doritos, at the end of the day, they have some girlypop tendencies just like the rest of us!\xa0

To get to know these athletes ahead of cheering them on this summer, we created\xa0Official Betches Olympic trading cards, so you can form a personal bond in knowing that you have the same favorite lip gloss as an Olympic long jumper.

Among all of the training, exercise, and you know… sports, roughly 70% of Gen Z are planning to tune into the\xa0Paris Olympics for the drama. In a recent survey by the flirting app Rizz, curiosity around\xa0the love lives of Olympians\xa0is a major point of interest. And there’s one athlete who is willing to deliver: USA rugby player Ilona Maher.

Maher is hoping to find love in Paris this summer during the\xa02024 Olympics. Or, at least has a long running bit about it.\xa0In a TikTok\xa0that has since gone viral, the Olympian jokes that she’s going to “try to couple early on,” and that she’s excited to “find love this summer.” She then referred to the Olympic Village as “the Villa,” and likened the whole experience to\xa0Love Island. Now\xa0that‘s\xa0how you get me to watch the Olympics.
