Long Islands very own Sue Bird is once again preparing to
compete in the Olympic Games! Sue Bird, originally from Syosset has had quite
the career. Bird began playing AAU travel basketball in sixth grade. She then
went on to attend and play ball at Syosset High School for two years and then
Christ the King Regional High School in Queens.
Sue Bird went on to attend UConn and was then drafted into
the WNBA. Now a point guard for the
Seattle Storm, Bird is gearing up for yet another appearance at the Olympic Games
as a member of the USA women’s basketball team. Bird has won gold medals at
both Beijing in 2004 and Athens in 2008!
Women's basketball is
arguably the USA's most dominant Olympic team sport. The U.S. is attempting to
win a fifth consecutive gold when play begins Saturday. Team USA has won 33
consecutive games at the Olympics.
