The US won the gold medal at the olympics in Paris

The World’s Largest Sports Arena: An Invitation to a High-Fidelity Games, from France to the Games of Games of Gymnastics

The title game between powerhouse and Olympic host ended up being a hot ticket at the Olympic Games, with celebrities filling the stands including the French President. U.S. The French swimming star, the retired U.S. soccer player Megan Rapinoe, and the NBA commissioner Adam Silver are some of the other notables in the world of sports.

The U.S. men’s team won its fifth-straight gold medal by defeating France 98-87. The men won gold at the Paris Games.

The French crowd roared with cheers of “allez les bleus” and its jeers of Embiid who last year refused the advances of the French national team. As they have throughout the Olympics, they booed Embiid every time he touched the ball.

France leaned mostly on two players: Wembanyama, the willowy 7-foot-4 center who was unanimously named the NBA’s Rookie of the Year in May, along with Guerschon Yabusele, a one-time Boston Celtic. They scored 46 of France’s 87 points.

In that game, Curry’s nine three-point baskets proved to be the difference. On Saturday, he helped to seal the win with four long balls in the final three minutes. In total, 10 U.S. players scored, four of them in double digits. Curry had 24 points.

The Serbians won the bronze medal in the semifinal match against Team USA, the biggest test of the streak so far. With three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic at the helm, Serbia led from midway through the first quarter until less than three minutes remained in the game.

France was in the gold medal basketball game for the first time since the 2012 Olympics, when they were beaten by the U.S. France won the silver medal after its loss on Sunday, and Australia claimed bronze after beating Belgium.

Team USA has won gold medal in the Olympics for five consecutive years. And it may be its most impressive yet, as international basketball has grown more competitive than ever.

The flag was going up and then as the anthem started tears came down his face, he said. I didn’t think I would be here, like I said before, and then to be here, winning gold for my country, representing when their country fought so hard for me. I was lucky to win a gold medal, and it will hold a special place in my heart.

U.S. Basketball in the Final Four: France, Australia, and the United States in the Women’s Basketball Double Event at Bercy Arena

Guard Jackie Young, who has been a key scorer for the U.S team in the quarterfinals and semifinals, fouled out in the fourth quarter. But not before the U.S. rallied with key three-pointers and free throws by Kelsey Plum.

“We had a hard time getting to our identity of being able to play and transition and score,” said U.S. women’s basketball coach Cheryl Reeve. “We were the two best defensive teams in the tournament, and we both showed that. It was ugly, but it was ugly for a reason. We did our best for each other.

This win didn’t come with the ease with which this team normally plays, with the Americans repeatedly tested by the tenacious French team and a huge pro-French crowd at Bercy Arena. They were treated to a heart-stopping moment with France star Gabby Williams sinking a long-range jumper at the buzzer. The US won the game thanks to the two-pointer that was ruled a three, rather than a three.

“It was a little bit ugly. But no matter what whether it’s good, ugly, whatever we just want to come out on top, and we did that, and we go home with this gold,” Breanna Stewart told reporters afterwards.

The battle for national bragging rights over gold medals was decided at the last moment and China and the U.S. were tied with forty apiece.

Meanwhile, Russia, once a world powerhouse at both the Summer and Winter Olympics, was nearly invisible in Paris, fielding only about fifteen athletes and barely registering in the total medal count.

Australia punched above it’s weight. The Aussies have a population of 26 million and have won 53 medals, 18 of them gold.
