The United States Women's Basketball Team claimed its eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal with a narrow 67-66 victory over host France at the 2024 Paris Olympics. A’ja Wilson led the Americans with 21 points, and Kahleah Cooper's two decisive free throws in the final seconds secured the win. Despite a strong performance from France's Gabby Williams, who scored 19 points, a last-minute shot by Williams was ruled a two-pointer, sealing the game for Team USA. The victory extends the U.S. women's winning streak to 61 games in Olympic competition and marks the team's tenth gold medal in women's basketball history. Meanwhile, the U.S. women's volleyball team suffered a defeat against Italy, earning a silver medal after being swept 3-0 in the final match. This silver medal is the fourth for the U.S. in volleyball, but it marks a disappointing end as they were unable to defend their title from the previous Olympics.
