there goes¹ go² the athletes and their coaches, catching the bus for the long road trip.
option 1: goes
option 2: go

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence "the athletes and their coaches" is plural. In English grammar, a plural subject takes a plural verb. "Go" is the plural form of the verb in this context, while "goes" is singular (used with third - person singular subjects like "he", "she", "it" or a singular noun). So the correct verb to use with the plural subject "the athletes and their coaches" is "go".

Option 2: go
