The women’s soccer tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics is now under wraps. 

What started with 12 teams has resulted in three countries standing on the podium. 

Take a look at who won gold, silver and bronze in the tournament. 

Gold medal winners: USA

Emma Hayes found herself with a glorious gold medal only three months into the U.S. women’s national team job after her team won the final 1-0 vs. Brazil.

It was a whirlwind journey filled with grit and determination for the USWNT throughout the tournament. 

The “Triple Espresso” trio Trinity RodmanSophia Smith and Mallory Swanson have absolutely dominated the front line throughout the Games.  Smith, who turned 24 the same day of the gold medal final, got to celebrate her big day by winning the tournament. 

In the match, the USWNT’s attacking trio did its best to stay dangerous, while Emily Fox led the incredible defensive effort against relentless pressure from Brazil.

Alyssa Naeher showed nothing can get past her, with an outrageous save from a last-ditch effort by Adriana during the end of the stoppage time.

Tears, handshakes and hugs erupted as the USWNT emerged victorious.

Brazil’s contagious passion doesn’t go unnoticed. Brazil defied all odds throughout the tournament and ended with a well-deserved silver medal.
