A’ja Wilson leads US women to eighth straight Olympic basketball gold against France

The U.S. Women’s Basketball Team Secures Eighth Consecutive Olympic Gold in Thriller Against France

The U.S. women’s basketball team made history at the Paris Games by clinching their eighth straight Olympic gold medal in a nail-biting 67-66 victory over France. Led by A’ja Wilson’s 21 points, the Americans faced their toughest challenge yet in their remarkable winning streak.

While the U.S. team had dominated with 61 consecutive wins prior to this game, no opponent had come as close to defeating them as France did. This tight match showcased the resilience and determination of both teams, making it a memorable showdown for fans.

This victory also marked a significant milestone for the U.S. women’s program, surpassing the American men’s record of seven consecutive gold medals from 1936-1968. It was a moment of double celebration for Team USA, as the men’s team had also triumphed over France in their gold medal game.

The thrilling finale saw the outcome hanging in the balance until the final seconds, with a clutch shot from Gabby Williams sealing the win for the Americans. Despite France’s valiant effort, the U.S. team held on to secure another gold medal in their illustrious Olympic history.

As the players celebrated their hard-fought victory, it was clear that this moment would be etched in the annals of Olympic basketball history. The unity, resilience, and skill displayed by both teams exemplified the true spirit of the Games.
