The U.S. women’s three-on-three basketball team took home gold Wednesday in the sport’s Olympic debut, defeating Russia 18-15 in the final. The U.S. team, led by Stefanie Dolson, Allisha Gray, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young finished the tournament with an 8-1 record. Dolson, who plays for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky, led Team USA with seven points. As of Tuesday, the U.S. earned 11 gold,11 silver and nine bronze medals. With 31 medals, the U.S. has more medals than any other country. To qualify, Team USA won both the Big Twelve International Tournament and the FIBA three-on-three Olympic Qualifying Tournament. But the team faced adversity even before stepping on the court. Earlier this month, Katie Young replaced Katie Lou Samuelson after she tested positive for COVID-19, sidelining her from the Games.
