Brianna Stewart Anticipates Upcoming Olympics
WNBA star Brianna Stewart recently reflected on the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games, expressing her excitement about the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. Like many viewers, she eagerly watched athletes compete, anticipating members of Team USA on the podium.
Stewart, who has enjoyed considerable success—claiming 12 gold medals in the Winter Olympics and winning three championships in women’s basketball at the Summer Olympics—shared her thoughts on the upcoming LA28 Games. “We’ve been chatting about LA28 lately, and it’s going to be incredible,” she mentioned while discussing her new partnership with Sloan Sports Coffee, making her the first female athlete to join the brand.
Whether witnessing young competitors like Alisa Liu shine in figure skating or watching the men’s and women’s hockey teams clinch victories against Canada, Stewart found herself deeply moved. She still gets “goosebumps” at the thought of standing on the podium. “Seeing the gold medal around your neck as the national anthem plays is just a fulfilling moment,” she explained. “The Olympics represent reaching the highest level in sport for everyone, and that feeling of representing something bigger is profound.”
As viewers back home developed a newfound appreciation for lesser-known sports in the lead-up to the Olympics, Stewart felt a sense of pride for all American athletes. “I think a lot was happening, whether it was bobsledding or curling,” she noted, expressing her enthusiasm to support U.S. athletes. “Every Olympics feels unique, and just look at the thrilling outcomes for both women’s and men’s hockey.” She added playfully, “I don’t want to end up with a hockey stick to the face, that’s for sure!”
Amid all these experiences, she mentioned notable athletes like Jack Hughes, who bravely scored despite losing a tooth, and Megan Keller, who thrilled the American team with her overtime goal. “It’s been an incredible time for Team USA,” she said, looking ahead to her aspirations. Stewart is hoping for a fourth Olympic gold, especially since it’ll be her first time competing on home soil.
Balancing her demanding career in the WNBA with motherhood means Stewart relies on caffeine to maintain her energy. She emphasizes choosing products that complement her lifestyle. “I found a great partnership with Throne Sport Coffee, it’s a fantastic fit,” she stated, discussing how she appreciates the benefits of combining coffee with protein for her health and performance.
In this whirlwind of athletic ambitions, personal commitments, and brand partnerships, Stewart embodies the dedication and passion of an athlete poised for greatness at the upcoming Olympics.
