Sylvia Fowles, Team USA Win Olympic Gold Again

Former LSU legend Sylvia Fowles and her the United States women’s basketball teammates continued their dominance over the world, winning yet another gold Saturday night in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Fowles has now claimed gold four times, and the United States has won the past seven. Fowles made history Saturday night becoming only the fifth woman to win four gold medals in basketball. The Tokyo games will be her last time Fowles represents the United States and she ended her Olympic career in appropriate fashion.

Fowles, now 35, came off the bench for the United States in the gold medal game against Japan.
