However, the experience and talent of the American players, led by veteran Diana Taurasi, made all the difference in the clutch moments. Taurasi, Plum, and Wilson were standout stars of the tournament, crucial in helping the U.S. secure their eighth consecutive gold, once again affirming their dominance in women's basketball on the global stage.
With this victory, the U.S. not only continued their Olympic winning streak but also played a key role in securing the top spot in the medal table at the Paris 2024 Games, solidifying their status as a global sports powerhouse.
