Katie Ledecky, A’ja Wilson and Tara Davis-Woodhall are just some of the Olympians who gave their fans a glimpse into the event on social media.
Tara Davis-Woodhall, Katie Ledecky, A’ja Wilson and many other athletes from the US team showed on social media what was going on behind the scenes at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris.
On Friday, July 26, the long jump silver medalist, seven-time swimming gold medalist and WNBA superstar were just a few of the many athletes who snapped a few selfies to document their preparations for their boat ride – the second-to-last of all countries participating in the Games – down the Seine during the Parade of Nations.
Davis-Woodhall, 25, posted a gallery of photos, including selfies with flag bearers Coco Gauff and LeBron James, rugby star Ilona Maher and WNBA stars Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi and Kelsey Plum, as well as sprinter and hurdler Masai Russell.
“Selfie camera at the Olympic opening ceremony,” Davis-Woodhall captioned the post.
