The Paris Games are officially underway, and the best athletes from around the world are in France, hoping to bring home a medal for their country. One of those athletes is Trinity Rodman, daughter of five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman, who has made a name for herself in women’s soccer.

Trinity Rodman, #5 of the United States, smiles during the second half of the Women's group B match between the United States and Zambia during the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de Nice on July 25, 2024, in Nice, France.

Team USA and Costa Rica went head to head in a send-off match ahead of the Olympics at Audi Field in Washington, D.C, on July 16 that ended in a 0-0 draw. After the game, they mic'd up Trinity, which resulted in a hilarious montage. On July 18, HighlightHER shared an amazing video of her on the field living her best life with her fellow Team USA teammates.

Once she landed in Paris, the team got to work, and they are on their road to gold. They had a great start in France, opening the Olympics on Friday night with a 3-0 win over Zambia at Stade de Nice. Trinity made the first goal in the 17th minute, with Mallory Swanson following with two goals in the 24th and 25th minutes, the fastest time between goals in the history of the Olympic Women’s Soccer Tournament, according to US Soccer.
