Women’s basketball, World Cup: fifth straight title for the USA

Nobody could beat them this time either. The United States won their fifth straight world title in women’s basketball, beating France 97-79 in the final in Berlin (their 36th straight win at the World Championship). The top scorer was Breanna Stewart with 22 points.

This team played its best basketball at the most important moment of the tournament. Winning culture, golden DNA, mental toughness — call it whatever you want. They are still the number 1 team in the world and extended their winning streak in this competition to 36 games.

The bronze medal went to Spain, which beat Germany 81-58.
