The US women’s basketball team is entering the 2024 Olympic quarterfinals on a flaming hot streak. The team, which went 3-0 in the group stage, hasn’t lost an Olympic matchup since 1992 in Barcelona.
As of the last win against Germany, that’s 58 wins.
This year’s team is led by captain and five-time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi, who is playing in her sixth Olympics (meaning she’s never lost an Olympic game!). The team, made up of all WNBA players, also features two New York Liberty stars: Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.
Team USA’s opponent in the quarterfinals is Nigeria, who became the first team from Africa to advance beyond the group stage of Olympic women’s basketball with a 79-70 win over Canada.
