PARIS, France — Team USA continues its run at medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics. This time, it's the U.S. women's rugby sevens team that came away with the hardware.

The squad from the U.S. came away with a thrilling victory over Australia to earn the bronze medal. Alex Sedrick, with arm outstretched, hit like a truck and ran almost the entire length of the field to give the U.S. women their first Olympic rugby sevens medal.
