Brittney Griner was already a two-time gold medalist, but her newest triumph with Team USA might surpass what she previously achieved in the Summer Olympics.
"My emotions are all over the place," she said after the United States beat France 67-66 in Sunday's final, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. "It means so much to me. My family didn't think I would be here, like I've said before, and then to be here and win and gold for my country, representing when my country fought for me so hard to even be standing here. Yeah, this gold medal is going to hold a special place.
