The US women’s basketball team won its eighth Olympic Gold medal by defeating hosts France by the narrowest of margins: 1 point. Team USA won 67-66 in a hard-fought final that went down to the last shot.

Led by A’ja Wilson, who scored 21 points, the USA survived a last-second shot by Gabby Williams that landed just inside the 3-point line to keep France at bay.

No team was able to pressure the Americans during that impressive streak of 61 consecutive victories. The victory was the closest the U.S. has come to an Olympic gold medal since the 1988 Games, when it defeated Yugoslavia by seven points. The only other team to hold the U.S. to a single-digit point in a gold medal game was South Korea at the 1984 Games.

“It’s unbelievable. It’s truly a dynasty that we’ve built here at USAB, it’s been incredible,” Wilson said. “And I’m so proud of the resilience that my team has shown. We could have messed it up many times, but we pulled it off. I’m so blessed to be able to say I’ve won gold medals twice.”

With Sunday’s victory, the U.S. women’s team has now won 61 consecutive Olympic Games, breaking a tie with the U.S. men’s team, which won seven in a row from 1936 to 1968.

The women’s victory came less than 24 hours after the US men’s team’s victory also defeated France in the title game. This was the first time in Olympic history that the same two teams competed in both gold medal games.

Unlike the men’s game, this game came down to the last minute and a final shot by France that landed just inside the 3-point line.

The Americans led 67-64 with 3.9 seconds left after Kahleah Copper made two free throws. Marine Johannes got the ball to Williams and the former UConn player caught the ball just inside the 3-point line and fired it over the outstretched arms of Breanna Stewart for the final score.

There was a brief delay before the referees signaled that it was a two-point shot, which prompted cheers and many joyful hugs from the Americans and left the French players standing in disbelief at how close they had come to making the shot.

“Gabby made some great shots at the end, tough shots,” Wilson said. “We understood what we had in our locker room and supported each other and talked to each other and believed in each other and that’s the best part about it.”

The American players celebrated with celebrities on the sidelines, including basketball players LeBron James, Bam Adebayo and Derrick White as well as US basketball greats Lisa Leslie, Sue Bird and Dawn Staley.

Williams, who finished with 19 points, had hit a three-pointer a few seconds earlier to bring France within one point before Copper made free throws. She received a comforting hug from Staley.

With this victory, Diana Taurasi secured her sixth consecutive gold medal and became the most decorated female basketball player in Olympic history, breaking a tie with her longtime teammate Sue Bird, who won five gold medals.

Taurasi, who did not compete in the gold medal match, was modest about the potential record and said the team’s victory was more important to her than her individual success.

It was a tough Olympics for her as she was not in the starting line-up in any of the knockout phase matches. It was the first time since the 2004 Olympics that she was not in the starting line-up.
