The 2024 Paris Olympics are just around the corner, and there’s no shortage of incredible athletes to watch. Among them are three standout U.S. female Olympians who are making waves and stealing the spotlight this year. Let’s dive into why these amazing women are the ones to keep an eye on.
Casey Kaufhold – Archery
Casey Kaufhold is only 20 years old, but she’s already made history as the first U.S. woman to rank as the world No. 1 in women’s recurve archery. That’s no small feat!
She made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games when she was just 17, and while she didn’t snag a medal then, she’s back with a vengeance now. Casey is a favorite for gold in Paris, and if she wins, she’ll be the first U.S. woman to win an individual archery medal since 1976. Talk about pressure!
Her journey from a young Olympian to a top contender is truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to see her in action.
Anita Alvarez – Artistic Swimming
Anita Alvarez, at 27, is no stranger to the Olympic stage. She’s heading to her third Olympics, bringing tons of experience and determination to the U.S. artistic swimming team.
Despite not medaling in her previous attempts, Anita’s resilience is something to admire.
With Russia out of the competition this year, there’s a golden opportunity for new champions to emerge. Anita is ready to seize it! Her dedication and passion for artistic swimming make her a standout athlete. We’re excited to see her shine in Paris.

Kelly Cheng is 28 and the only Team USA beach volleyball player with previous Olympic experience. She competed at the Tokyo Games with her former partner, Sarah Sponcil, but they were knocked out in the Round of 16. Now, Kelly is back with her old USC partner, Sara Hughes, and they’re ready to make waves on the beach.
These two won back-to-back national championships together in 2016 and 2017. More recently they took gold at the 2023 world championships in Mexico.
With their strong partnership and recent victories, Kelly and Sara are definitely medal contenders in Paris. Let’s see if they can bring their college magic to the Olympic stage!
