# Plain Language Summary: Supporting the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Teams

This is a resolution expressing Congress's support for the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams competing in the 2024 Summer Games. A resolution is basically Congress saying "we're behind you" on something—it's a statement of support rather than a law that creates new rules or requirements.

The resolution celebrates American athletes who trained for years to compete at the highest level of international sports. It acknowledges the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice these athletes made to represent the country on the world stage. Congress is essentially giving these teams a formal thumbs up and wishing them well as they compete against athletes from around the world.

In practical terms, this doesn't change anything about how the Olympics work or create any new programs or funding. It's a symbolic gesture—a way for Congress to officially recognize the importance of Olympic competition and show national pride in American athletes. It's similar to how communities might declare a day to honor local heroes or celebrate an achievement. The resolution shows that Congress values the Olympic and Paralympic movements and wants to publicly encourage Team USA.
