A’ja Wilson scored 19 points, Kelsey Plum added 17 and the United States beat China 83–61 on Saturday to win its fourth consecutive gold medal at the women’s basketball World Cup
SYDNEY — The names on the U.S. team have changed, the Americans’ dominance has not.
This was one of the most dominant teams in the Americans’ storied history in the World Cup that now has won 11 gold medals. They now have won four straight gold medals for the first-time ever. This was also the biggest win in a gold-medal game, surpassing the 20-point wins that the Americans had done twice.
“It’s been an incredible journey just to continue to lay that foundation down like so many of the greats in front of us have,” Wilson said. “Now it’s our turn to step up and be in that situation.” The game was a sellout with nearly 16,000 fans—the biggest crowd to attend a women’s World Cup game since the inaugural tournament in 1953 in Chile.
China won its first medal since the 1994 World Cup when the team also took the silver and are a rising power in women’s basketball. After the game, the team posed for a photo with their flag and men’s great Yao Ming, who is the president of the Chinese Basketball Association.
