The United States women's basketball team clinched their eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, narrowly defeating France with a final score of 67-66. This victory marks a continuation of their dominance in Olympic basketball, having won every gold medal since 1996. The game was a nail-biter, with France nearly forcing overtime with a last-second shot that was ruled a two-pointer due to the shooter's foot being on the line. This win contributed to the United States topping the overall medal table at the Paris Olympics, securing 40 gold medals and a total of 126 medals, the most for the U.S. in a non-boycotted Olympics since 1904.
