Team USA won gold in soccer, men's basketball and both the men's and women's 4x400-meter relay races during Day 15 of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday (August 10).
Mallory Swanson's lone goal led the United States Women's National Team to a win against Brazil in the gold medal game. Swanson, 26, scored in the 57th minute to break a tie in an otherwise strong defensive match, finishing the tournament with a team-best six points and four goals.
The Chicago Red Stars forward broke away on a long pass from Korbin Albert that was reviewed for offsides before being upheld by officials.
Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher provided a crucial save in the third minute of extra time to stop a would-be game-tying goal. Naeher finished the match with four saves. The USWNT went undefeated in Olympic play to win their first gold medal since the 2012 London Games. The United States Men's Basketball Team defeated France, 98-87, during the gold medal game at the 2024 Paris Olympics to win its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Stephen Curry led all scorers with 24 points, shooting 8-13 on 3-point attempts, which included making four three pointers in the final two minutes. Curry, 36, won gold for the first time in his legendary basketball career, having never previously represented the United States in Olympic play.
Kevin Durant, the all-time leading scorer in USA Basketball history, recorded 15 points, four rebounds and four assists. Durant won his fifth gold medal, which broke a tie with former USA Basketball teammate Carmelo Anthony for the most of any men's basketball player in Olympic history.
The U.S. Women's relay team of Gabby Thomas, Alexis Holmes, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Shamier Little dominated in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:15.27, the second-fastest time ever recorded in the event. Thomas completed the gold medal trifecta by winning the women's 200-meter and women's 4x100-meter while McLaughlin-Levrone broke her own world record during the 400-meter hurdles final on Thursday (August 8).
The U.S. Men's relay team of Chris Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon and Rai Benjamin won gold in their 4x400 relay final with an Olympic record time of 2:54.43.
