Medal Moment
Basketball: USA win men’s gold, beating France 98-87
Curry starts high-fiving his teammates waiting on the bench.
This is nearly done.
He has drained 8 from 12 from three-point range and scored 24 points for the U.S.
France have given it their all – Nicolas Batum is bleeding as he walks off court.
The buzzer goes. USA win gold again!
France 87, USA 98. Let the celebrations begin. Kevin Durant has won his fourth Olympic gold.
It’s the fifth straight U.S. gold in men’s basketball – 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024.
The French players stand in the middle of the court and applaud all sides of the arena. It will be a home silver for them.
