Torri Huske, you just won three gold medals, how are you going to celebrate? By going to theEras Tour, of course!
“This meet has gone better than I could have hoped,” Huske, 21, says on Aug. 5 at Team USA House in Paris. “I’m just so happy that I got to represent Team USA.”
Huske hopes her accomplishments — amongst a setting of female athletes dominating in the victory count for Team USA — “gets people to pay more attention to women’s sports.”
“I think that there’s a bigger movement now where people are starting to pay attention more, and I think that’s so awesome,” she tells PEOPLE. “Caitlin Clarkhas done so much for that, and I think she’s so cool. So hopefully I can also play a little part of that.”
Huske soon will transition focus back to her collegiate career at Stanford University. First, though, she’s going to have a little fun.
“I’m going to seeTaylor [Swift]in [Vienna,] Austria on [Aug.] 10th, which I’m super excited about,” Huske says.
Huske waited until she made the U.S. Olympic team in late June, and then bought the Eras Tour tickets, she clarifies. “But in the back of my mind I was always like, ‘Oh, well if I’m in Europe already, I haven’t seen her yet. I have to see her,’ " she says. “So it was kind of in the back of my mind for a really long time. I’ve been wanting to see her for literally so long.”
And Huske doesn’t resist the opportunity to get the music star a little shout-out.
“Hi Taylor,” she says. “I’m so excited to see you in concert and I’m really excited also for when you eventually dropReputation. I think I’m a little bit delusional and I’m just hoping that it happens at my concert, but regardless, I’m so excited.”
From one record-breaker to another.
