Yay for the old girls! So much talent on that list.

I was thinking the opposite. I like to see new girls get a chance.

For the Olympics, I like to see the best, regardless of age. Personally, I like the mix of old and young on this team.

Honestly the Monica and Cat are the only real old heads....

Sure you could have picked a slightly younger roster but most of these ladies aren't that "old".

Plus the USA is so deep it's just an embarrassment of riches, you could have picked another team of current and former NPF All stars that aren't even on the roster or an NCAA all star team and they would all be favorites (or at least close to it).

It's a tournament so anything can happen...plus this is pretty much the roster from the international cup they just won this summer.

Arioto and Chidester are definitely in the "seasoned veteran" category.
