U.S. Soccer’s Tierna Davidson Praises Olympics, Snoop Dogg, and Food!

U.S. soccer star Tierna Davidson is back home after playing a significant role in helping the women’s soccer team secure their fifth Olympic gold medal. She recently shared with TMZ Sports that the entire experience was unforgettable.

We caught up with the 25-year-old NY/NJ Gotham FC center back while she was working an honorary shift at a Raising Cane’s in New York. Davidson elaborated on her time in Paris, discussing the myriad of memorable moments.

She mentioned spotting numerous celebrities at her games, including the legendary women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley. “I saw Snoop Dogg at one of our games,” Davidson said. “So that was cool. I heard Tom Cruise was at one of our games as well. Didn’t get to meet them, but it was very special to have people from our country cheering us on. At the end of the gold medal match, I was able to meet the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff. So that was also pretty special.”

During her downtime, Davidson took the opportunity to explore Paris and enjoy its many offerings. Her favorite part? The food.

“Somebody asked me, and I immediately thought of the bread, the butter, and the cheese,” Davidson remarked. “I think those are products that are made entirely differently in a different country than the U.S., especially in France. So those were some regularly indulged upon delicacies.”

We also asked Davidson about her thoughts on the Olympic Village, which had received mixed reviews from athletes. While Davidson didn’t stay at the village due to her team’s travel-packed schedule across France, she had no complaints after visiting it briefly.

“It was amazing,” she said. “The Olympic Village was beautiful. We didn’t get to eat the food, but it was gorgeous, and it was just teeming with athletes from all different countries. It was so fun to meet people and see what the daily life was like in the village.”

Sounds like Paris might have a returning visitor in the future!
