Meet Olympian Elena Delle Donne and Her Number One Fan
#BeyondTheGames is a series that spotlights inspiring women athletes in the Instagram community who are telling their Olympic story. To learn more about Elena, follow @de11edonne on Instagram.
Reigning WNBA Most Valuable Player Elena Delle Donne (@de11edonne) will be traveling to Rio this summer representing the United States in the Olympic Games — her biggest fan Wrigley (@thewrigleydelledonne) will be watching from home. “He’s an avid TV watcher,” Elena says of her Great Dane. The 26-year-old is looking forward to teaming up with players she’s been competing against since being drafted by the Chicago Sky three years ago. Prior to the WNBA, Elena became a star playing at University of Delaware, a school close to home, so moving to Chicago was a big change. “It was my first time really being away from home, so I decided to get a puppy,” she says of Wrigley, whose namesake is the baseball stadium where the Chicago Cubs play. “I got him a couple weeks after I threw out the first pitch at the Cubs game.”
