The U.S. women’s national team successfully hit the reset button in 2024, bouncing back in fine form from last year’s disappointment at the Women’s World Cup by winning the Olympic gold medal in Paris and reasserting themselves as one of women’s soccer top sides.
The gold medal win, though, is just one moment in a memorable year for the world’s top-ranked side.
