The Team USA House in Paris, where athletes and paying customers relax
Los Angeles Times reporter David Wharton gives us a quick tour of the Team USA House at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This is where athletes, their families, officials and the paying public can come, have a beer, watch sports and buy expensive merchandise.
David Wharton has filled an array of roles – covering the courts, entertainment, sports and the second Persian Gulf War – since starting as a Los Angeles Times intern in 1982.
