As Team USA prepares for the 2024 Paris Olympics, athletes are sharing their unique pump-up playlists that play a vital role in their competition routines. From beach volleyball players Taryn Kloth and Kirsten Nuss vibing to 'Defying Gravity' to track star Yared Nuguse's calming choice of Owl City's 'Fireflies', each athlete has personal tracks that energize them. Other favorites include Justin Bieber's 'Baby' by heptathlete Anna Hall and J. Cole's 'No Role Modelz' by triple jump medalist Jasmine Moore.
