But once Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham have finished battling for the trophy, Kim will head to Paris and soak up all the thrills and spills of the summer Olympics.
The U.S. Sun understands she has asked for tickets for Team USA basketball matches involving the men and women, the swimming competition, and blue ribbon events like the 100 meters in the track and field.
A source connected to the organizing committee said it would be “very nice” to welcome Kim and her children to the French capital and give them a taste of what lies in store four years later when the greatest show on earth comes to Los Angeles.
Team USA is hoping for a serious gold rush and the insider reckons a “unique” experience will be enjoyed by everyone.

“Team USA basketball is a top event for the Olympics, and they will experience watching LeBron James, Steph Curry, and the other stars in France, which is going to be fantastic for them as they are used to seeing games in the NBA arenas and see LeBron play in LA very often,” he said.
“The swimming competitions are also going to be a fantastic experience for the whole family, as the USA usually wins a lot of medals and smash records.”
The Olympics begin on July 26 and run until August 11.
“The track and field competitions are a unique kind of experience during the Olympics,” continued the source.
“The stadium is going to be full, the crowd are going to be very loud.
“Being there is even more exciting and the whole family is going to have a fantastic time and have some lifetime memories.”
This won’t be Kim’s first involvement with an Olympic Games though.
Her clothing brand Skims was the underwear, loungewear, and nightwear provider for Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
An “honored” Kim took to Instagram to announce the news, taking the time to reflect upon a childhood spent watching Caitlin Jenner in action at sporting events.
“Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve heard every single detail about the Olympics from my stepdad,” she wrote.
“As I would watch the athletes compete, I would grow to understand the dedication and honor being a part of the Olympics embodied.”
Kim recalled buying Olympic Games T-shirts to bring home as souvenirs, calling the opportunity to work with Team USA a “full circle” moment.
In 2022, Skims joined forces with Team USA again for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, according to ESPN.
Whether or not Skims will collaborate with Team USA again in 2024 is unclear.

Kim’s ties to the sporting world have also led her to work with the NBA, WNBA, and USA Basketball.
Last October, Skims was named their official underwear partner in a ceremony by the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
