It was a well-balanced attack for Team USA, which secured its 58th consecutive Olympic victory in the last game of pool play. Jackie Young led the way with 19 points, A’ja Wilson added 14, and Breanna Stewart finished with 13.

Team USA hurdler Freddie Crittenden finished five seconds off the pace in his preliminary heat Sunday. But it was part of a bigger strategy.
Freddie Crittenden entered the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics as one of the hurdlers to watch in the men’s 110-meter hurdles.

However, after he came out of the blocks Sunday in his first heat at the Summer games, he was certainly off the pace.
There’s nothing quite like seeing athletes truly proud to represent their home countries during the Olympics. That includes American golfer Scottie Scheffler, who couldn’t help but cry as the United States National Anthem played after he captured the gold medal during the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Scheffler put together a sensational final round, shooting a 62 to overtake several players ahead of him – including Spain’s Jon Rahm, who had a four-shot lead over the field at one point during Sunday’s round – to capture his first Olympic medal.
