Olympians share pump-up songs that get them going before competing for world titles
Caitlin Clark led the Team WNBA to a victory over Team USA with 10 assists. Colin Cowherd says that Women’s Basketball is not ready for Clark, and that she should have been on the Women's Olympic roster.
Many athletes get into competitive mode by listening to a pump-up playlist before they compete.
Eminem's "Till I Collapse" and "Lose Yourself," "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "We Will Rock You" by Queen are among the classics for athletes to warm up to.
On Friday, July 26, the 2024 Olympics will officially kick off in Paris, France. Athletes from around the world will be representing their country in sports, including beach volleyball, basketball, hockey, tennis, swimming, gymnastics and more.
