USA women's basketball are gold medalists once again, defeating France 67-66 in a wild championship game to finish off the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Paris 2024 Olympics – Basketball – Women’s Gold Medal Game – France vs United States – Bercy Arena, Paris, France – August 11, 2024. A’Ja Wilson of United States reacts during the gold medal game.
Working through a difficult afternoon shooting from the field, A’ja Wilson provided a spark with her defense — a staple of her game as a two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. Three blocks in quick succession was a staple of the United States’ comeback in the third quarter, which featured an 8-0 run to wipe away the surprising French lead.
Trailing 40-35 late in the third, she then scored four straight points to bring the Americans back within one before four straight points from Napheesa Collier gave the US its first lead of the second half. France’s Marine Johannes tied things at 43 apiece with a deep three-pointer before a pair of Wilson free throws gave the US a 45-43 lead heading into the final quarter.
