Make eight in a row.

The United States women’s national basketball team won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games on Sunday, defeating France in dramatic fashion to secure their eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Led by A’ja Wilson, who was named the tournament’s most valuable player after posting game-high 21 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks, the USA finished just one point ahead of France.

Gabby Williams’ shot on the final whistle would have tied the game and forced overtime had her foot not been over the line. Instead, Team USA won and the celebration ensued. These 17 photos captured the moment perfectly.
