Saw that a player named Gabby Williams played basketball for France in the Olympics. ~

Is she French and are other athletes actually from the nations they represent?

If not, then what’s the point?

They have to be naturalized in the country they play for, don’t they?

@Quimliqer I have no idea. That’s why I asked.

@RedBaron Google:

According to the Olympic Charter (Rule 40-41) Any competitor in the Olympic Games must be a national of the country of the NOC which is entering such competitor. A competitor who is a national of two or more countries at the same time may represent either one of them, as he may elect.
