Welcome to the final day of the 2024 Olympics!
The curtain has closed on the Paris Games, but not before the U.S. women’s basketball team capped off an unforgettable journey with a victory in its highly anticipated gold medal match.
And that’s not the only hardware the U.S. ended with today. The U.S. men’s water polo squad got the day started with a win in its bronze medal match against Hungary, and Team USA took home the silver medal in women’s volleyball after falling to Italy.
The U.S. Olympic run concluded with Team USA becoming the first team in any sport to win eight consecutive Olympic gold medals with a win over France in the women’s basketball gold medal game.
At the end of it all, the closing ceremony brought the world’s top athletes together to celebrate the competition, unity and perseverance that have shaped these Games.
