Table tennis started today as well as the basketball games but both US teams play on Sunday
The United States Men’s National Basketball Team pose for photographs at St Pancras Station with teammatesAPLast night, we witnessed what could be considered one of the best opening ceremonies in the history of the Olympic Games. The event was a stunning mix of music,
performances, and dances, showcasing the 203 National Olympic Committees and approximately 10,500 athletes competing in over 320 events across 32 sports. Even the continuous rain throughout the night added a unique touch to the celebration.
The United States Delegation
Before Friday’s opening ceremonies in Paris, Stephen Curry stirred up some friendly competition by challenging NBA superstar Anthony Edwards to a match against the U.S. women’s table tennis team. In a video, Curry can be seen teasing Edwards, saying, “They said they could smack you 21-0.”
“I got some people here that say they gonna beat me in ping-pong, 21-0, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it,” responded Edwards, who is coming off the best season of his career. Despite his confidence, it’s likely Edwards would indeed lose 21-0 to any of the team members, and even if the score went up to 40, “Antman” would still probably lose 40-0. The skill level of the selected players is among the best in the world, just as Edwards is unbeatable on the basketball court.
What’s Next for Both Teams
For the table tennis team, Amy Wang secured an impressive 4-0 victory against Tommy Priscila of Vanuatu in their first matchup. Tomorrow, the team continues with several players participating in their respective events. Meanwhile, the U.S. basketball team begins their quest for gold against NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and the Serbian national team at 11:15 am EST. Just under two weeks ago, the U.S. already defeated Serbia in a preparatory match for the Olympics.
With both teams ready to showcase their talents, the excitement for the competitions ahead is palpable. The opening ceremony has set the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable Olympic Games in Paris.
