At the @PEAKConference Wayne Kimmel sat down with Marc Riccio, President of @USA_Lacrosse, to discuss what it will take for athletes to qualify for the @Olympics Games in lacrosse.
In this clip, Marc explains that the Olympic qualification process begins this summer, with teams in Canada taking part in the continental qualifier process. With only six men’s teams and six women’s teams earning spots in the Olympics, a format consistent with other emerging team sports like flag football, the competition will be incredibly selective.
Each Olympic lacrosse roster will include just 11 athletes, making every spot extremely competitive. As Marc puts it, this may be one of the hardest teams in the world to make.
Watch Wayne Kimmel and Marc Riccio break down the road to Olympic lacrosse, the intensity of qualification, and what this moment means for the future of the sport on the world stage.
