Mallory Swanson played a crucial role in the United States Women's National Team's (USWNT) victory, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win over Brazil to clinch the Olympic gold medal. Her husband, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson, celebrated her achievement with heartfelt messages on social media, expressing immense pride and admiration for her accomplishments. Despite being unable to attend the match in Paris due to his MLB commitments, Dansby watched the game from home and described the experience as both stressful and unforgettable, emphasizing the support of their loved ones. The couple's joy was slightly overshadowed by a broadcasting error that mistakenly identified Mallory's teammate Sophia Smith instead of her during the broadcast, leading to playful trolling from fans. This milestone came after Mallory's long recovery from knee surgeries, making the victory particularly poignant. The Swansons' relationship continues to inspire, showcasing their shared commitment to supporting one another's careers.
