Today, The great media name of women's sport in the United States is Caitlin Clark. Above Olympic athletes in Paris or stars from other sports, Indiana Fover, WNBA, occupies most of the focus. And to each performance on the track, confirm that your hype It is justified.
This past morning, despite the defeat of Indianapolis against Atlanta Dream by 90-91, Caitlin Clark signed a great performance with 27 points and 11 assists. Some figures that already put a leader in certain statistics, already being the player with more games (10), adding more than 20 points and 10 assists.
Clark is in his second year
The highlight is that last season the American was a rookie and this year is already breaking records of the entire league, in a season that has just begun. With these 10 games, Clark tied with the leader, Courtney VanderslooT, like the player who had made these figures the most times.
But the difference between one and the other is in the broad difference of played parties. While Indiana Fever's star got it in 42 WNBA games, Vandersloot needed 394 meetings of her long career.
This record can be just the first that Caitlin Clark breaks this season. The WNBA campaign has just begun, with only two played games. Fever won his debut and lost this second gamebut Clark is highlighting above the rest of the league, even in controversies made.
Debut ante Angel Reese
That controversy came in the first game of the season. Clark's Fever against Chicago Sky, by Angel Reese. Media, these two players have a rivalry that many have been in charge of filling it with hateUnfortunately putting the focus on the skin color of both.
With the clear victory of Indianapolis by 93-58, There was a lack of Clark about Reese that Chicago did not take good on the track. His reaction, despite the fact that at a press conference he affirmed that “It was a well -arbitrated play; you have to continue”he raised excessive criticism by television chains and, above all, fans.
In fact, the WNBA announced shortly after the party that would investigate alleged racist insults aimed at Reeseby Indianapolis fans. A situation to regret, since the league is living a sports talent boom, but these headlines and acts divert attention.
