As July approaches the Paris Olympics approach, too.
The USA women’s team is going through a period of preparation that will include training with Canada and hopefully some more. in Chula Vista and then Tours before they enter the Olympic Village.
After that, it’s about focusing on themselves, and focusing on gold.

The word that first passed Naya Tapper’s lips, and then Emilie Bydwell’s, was a color … a very specific color.
Gold.
