Since 1992, when the Olympics first allowed active professional players to participate, the U.S. has won a gold medal in every Olympics except 2004, when Argentina won gold and the U.S. settled for bronze.

The French crowd was so loud that they cheered “Allez les bleus”, which means “allez France”, and jeered NBA All-Star Joel Embiid when he turned down a place on the French national team. They booed every time the player touched the ball.

Victor Wembanyama, a 20-year-old phenomenon, and a half-dozen other current and former NBA players were included in France’s opponent in the final. France fought until the end, refusing to give up on the U.S.

There was tears coming down my face as soon as the anthem started and I was on the podium. I didn’t think I’d be here, like I said before, representing my country and winning a gold medal. I was fortunate to win a gold medal and it will hold a special place in my heart.

The U.S guard was forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter. But not before the U.S. rallied with key three-pointers and free throws by Kelsey Plum.

United States women’s basketball coach Cheryl Reeve said that they had a hard time figuring out how to play and score. Both of the best defensive teams in the tournament were us. It was ugly, but it was ugly for a reason. We both made it hard for each other.”

The U.S. was unable to generate much offense in the first half as they faced a very physical French defense. After France briefly took the lead in the first half, the United States was able to come back and tie it before the break.
