It’s USA vs. France, Part II. After the two countries clashed in the men’s gold medal game on Saturday, the women take center stage on Sunday afternoon in Paris.
It’s been mostly smooth sailing for Team USA, which handily beat Australia on Friday in their semifinal. France, on the other hand, survived an overtime thriller against Belgium to make it to the final. Team USA is led by a formidable crew of WNBA stars, and despite their loss in the WNBA All-Star Game last month, Team USA has demonstrated why they’re top-tier. They’ll look to add to their history of dominance with an eighth straight gold medal.
France, which is led by Gabby Williams, Valériane Ayayi and Marine Johannes, has never won a gold medal, taking bronze in 2020 and silver in 2012. Can they pull off the upset on their home court? Tune in to find out.
