In exciting fashion, the women's basketball Team USA beats France to claim gold for the eighth consecutive Olympics. Sabrina Ionescu represented the Oregon Ducks on the highest basketball stage with extreme pride.
in the closing seconds, Gabby Williams of France banked it in a shot at the buzzer down by three but her foot was on the three-point line and it only counted as a two. Team USA ended up winning by just a single point, 67-66. Coming away with gold in that hostile French crowd with everything on the line is no easy accomplishment.
