We made it to Day 15 of the 2024 Paris Olympics — the last full day of competition!
There were many gold medal matches on Saturday, including LeBron James, Steph Curry, and the U.S. men’s basketball team emerging with a fifth-straight gold medal after a stiff test from Victor Wembanyama and France.
And the U.S. women’s national team beat Brazil for gold, led by the “Triple Espresso” of Mallory Swanson, Sophia Smith, and Trinity Rodman.
The U.S. men’s and women’s 4x400 relays also blazed into the history books with golden days in what can only be considered a tremendous Day 15 for the United States athletes and fans.
Now let’s get ready for the Closing Ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Find all the details you need, here.
Let’s go Team USA!
That was a special day of a Games full of special days.
Now let’s get ready for the Closing Ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Find all the details you need, here.
Thanks for hanging out with us all day and into the night on NBCOlympics.com.
Here’s Team USA coach Steve Kerr with Mike Tirico after the game.
“Through all the noise, all the pressure. I think we might be the only team in the world whose fans are ashamed of us if we get a silver medal,” Kerr said."But you saw Steph, the players love the pressure and they deserve it.”
On Curry’s big night and late threes.
“It’s right up there with all of the greatest games of his career. The shot-making was just incredible but under the circumstances on the road in Paris against France for a gold medal this is storybooks stuff but that’s what Steph does: He likes to be in storybooks.”
Here’s Steph Curry on winning gold.
“It is special. Two years ago when we won our last championship, I knew this was on the horizon. Anything you take on, you give it everything you have. We missed the playoffs so I’ve been preparing a long time. This group it’s been nothing but 1-2-3 gold. That’s all we’ve been saying. For us to accomplish that and for me to get a gold medal is insane and I thank God for the opportunity to experience.”
Here’s Curry on his red-hot stretch of threes down the ends.
“Big shot to put us up six that kinda settled everything. The rhythm, the avalanche came and thankfully the other 3 went in. I’ve been blessed to play basketball at a high level for a very long time. I don’t know, this ranks very high in terms of the excitement and sense of relief getting to the finish line.”
Steph Curry hit three big, late threes in the fourth quarter, the second one turning him into an emotional fireball, screaming as he flashing the USA on his jersey to the crowd as he fires verbal jabs back and forth with the Bercy Arena.
Curry finished with 24 to blow past the other big scorers on the night, at least for Team USA. Victor Wembanyama finished a tremendous tournament with a game-high 25 points.
That’s five-straight golds for the U.S. men since their 2004 bronze in Athens. It’s a second-straight silver for France, who showed so well in coming up just short of gold on home hardwood.
CURRY TIME. 🥶

It looked too easy, too smart, too strong.
David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig went on cruise control as Sweden beat Germany in straight sets for the men’s beach volleyball final.
That’s a first medal of any kind for Sweden in men’s beach, and it’s a gold in their first Olympics since 2004!
It was 21-10, 21-13 against Germany’s Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler. Nine digs and 18-of-29 on attack were too much.

France have pulled within three of the U.S. on a Wembanyama tip-in!
The U.S. looked to be cruising via a series of LeBron James slams, but France will not quit.

That was efficient from David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, as Sweden has claimed the first set over Germany in the men’s beach volleyball final.
Five service faults from Germany’s Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler didn’t help, but the Swedes were 7-of-11 on attack with three digs and three blocks in a 21-10 first set.
Wembanyama, Yabusele, and De Colo are trying to keep France in this, but LeBron James is left wide open for a massive slam.
It’s 68-59 to the Americans with under 4 minutes to play in the third quarter.
Wembanyama has 20, Yabusele has 19, and Team USA has four players in double figures: Steph Curry, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and LeBron.
Remember Tokyo, when good friends Mutaz Barshim of Qatar and Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy decided to share the gold medal when tied at the end of regulation?
New Zealand’s Hamish Kerr and Team USA’s Shelby McEwen decided otherwise.
The bar was lowered from 2.38m. Both missed again at 2.38m, then 2.36m, and McEwen missed at 2.34m before Kerr clinched the title by clearing it.
Barshim claimed bronze, while Tamberi rebounded from an early morning in the hospital to compete and finished 11th.
Just stunning stuff from the new American record holders in the 4x400: Shamier Little, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, and Alexis Holmes.
This is Team USA’s eighth consecutive gold medal in this event. It ties the record of U.S. men’s 4x100m from 1920-1956 for longest gold medal streak in any track and field relay
Their time of 3:15.27 breaks the American record set at the 1988 Olympics (where the U.S. earned silver behind the Soviet Union’s still-standing world record). Today’s time is the second fastest run in history.
It’s Gabby Thomas’ fifth career medal (three golds, all in Paris) and the fourth career medal for McLaughlin-Levrone. She has two gold in each Tokyo and Paris.
Kyle Dake’s status in U.S. wrestling is undeniable — see his comeback win in video below — a now two-time bronze medalist. Albania’s Cherman Valiev also wins bronze.
“The Olympics is a special event, to be able to go out there and get something,” Dake said. “To be a two-time bronze medallist stings a little bit, but it shows the work I put into it. ... There’s just a lot that goes into it. Being away from my kids — I have three kids with another one on the way, my wife is just unbelievable. It’s not always easy, but it’s what I love to do and it’s a lot of fun.”
So, LA 2028?
“Four years is a long way away, I’ll be 37. It’s a long ways away, but never say never.”
Uzbekistan’s Razambek Zhamalov is the gold medalist, defeating Japan’s Daichi Takatani in the final. Zhamalov was born in Russia and transferred to Uzbekistan earlier this year.
What a comeback from Kyle Dake! 🇺🇸

That 8-0 run by the French to lead by one is a distant memory.
Team USA, led by Devin Booker’s now 13-point night, went on a 22-11 run.
LeBron James, the old graybeard, continues to play complete basketball. James has seven points, five boards, and two steals.
The Americans go into the break with a 49-41 lead after Gerson Yabusele scoops in the last of his 15 points. Wembanyama has 13 and five rebounds.

As medal matches continue to be in full swing, a heads up that there are 39 total medal events today - the most of any day of these Games!
The U.S. entered today with 111 total medals, including 33 gold, 39 silver and 39 bronze. USA leads the top of the medal chart, followed by China, which entered the day with 83 total medals (33 gold).
The medal matches continue as Team USA takes on the Netherlands in the women’s water polo bronze medal match.
The Americans were stopped short of the gold medal match for the first time since 2004, as their bid for a four-peat gold came up shy. They’ll need to deprive the Netherlands of a first medal since 2000 in order to stay amongst the medals.

In the shadow of the Esplanade des Invalides, Tamirat Tola BREAKS THE OLYMPIC RECORD en route to winning gold in the men’s marathon.
