After the USA women's basketball team beat Nigeria on Tuesday in their first game at the Tokyo Olympics with a score of 81-72, it secured their winning streak making it 50 straight Olympic wins [6]. Congratulations Team USA!
As if that wasn't enough to celebrate, the USA women's basketball team has won six straight gold medals since the 1992 Olympics (eight in total [7]), and are going for number seven in a row [8] at Tokyo. If they win, they'll tie with the USA men's basketball team who have a record of seven straight gold medals from 1936 to 1968. So many reasons to cheer for Team USA! Watch them on Friday, July 30 [9] for their next game against Japan.
