PARIS – When Diana Taurasi was an-
nounced as a member of the U.S. wom-
en’s basketball team for the 2024 Paris
Olympics, her intentions were clear:
She wanted to win one more gold medal
than her basketball bestie, Sue Bird,
Team USA ’s longtime point guard.
Sunday evening in Bercy Arena, in
the final event of the 2024 Summer
Games, Taurasi accomplished that feat
when the Americans hung on for a 67-66
win over France to earn an unprece-
dented eighth consecutive Olympic gold
medal.
So, how is it to be able to brag about
that to Bird, who was sitting courtside
watching the game?
“Yeah, it’s the only reason I came. It’s
funny because we scored the same
amount of points today,” Taurasi dead-
panned after the win, a game in which
she did not leave the bench.
In Tokyo three years ago, after Bird
and Taurasi had led Team USA to its
seventh consecutive gold, Taurasi
caused a stir when she ended her TV in-
terview by quipping, “See you in Paris.”
She wasn’t possibly serious, was
she? It turns out she was.
The 42-year-old Taurasi became the
oldest U.S. basketball player to compete
in the Olympics when she started the
first pool play game on July 29 against
Japan.
She wasn’t the only seasoned veteran
playing hoops for the U.S. this summer,
as 39-year-old LeBron James led the
men to gold over France on Saturday
night. But neither of them took the title
of oldest hooper at these, or any, Games.
That distinction went to 43-year-old
Lauren Jackson, who returned to the
Australian Opals after a 12-year ab-
sence. Australia beat Belgium on Sun-
day for bronze.
Though coach Cheryl Reeve didn’t
put Taurasi in the gold medal game, she
was effusive in her praise of the woman
widely considered to be the GOAT of the
WNBA.
“She’s defined USA basketball,”
Reeve said. “ And in her final Olympics,
the mark that she’s making in terms of
leadership, just sharing the knowledge
that she has. She’s a six-time Olympian
who’s left her mark every time she’s
around the team. I don’t know that
there’s a greater competitor in USA bas-
ketball (history). Dee is sorta on Mount
Rushmore in that way.”
Taurasi had an up-and-down Olym-
pics. Though she wasn’t scoring much,
if at all, she started in all three pool play
games that the U.S. played in Lille, a
town on the northern border of France.
When the team moved to Paris for the
knockout round, she was benched in fa-
vor of Jackie Young. Taurasi came off
the bench to play 14 minutes in the quar-
terfinals and just six minutes in the
semis.
“I think I’ll look back on 20 years of
being able to wear the jersey, it’s truly an
honor,” Taurasi said of her USAB career.
“I’ve been lucky to be around some of
the best players to ever play – when I
was younger, some of my idols; in the
middle, with my counterparts; and now
to see these young guys go out there and
get this gold medal, it’s a lot of luck, lot
of hard work and here I am.”
Asked how this medal compares to
her other five, Taurai joked, “I like the
other ones better.”
“It always feels good when you beat
the home team at home,” she said.
“There’s a little bit of satisfaction there.”
So, what does this mean for the 2028
Olympics, which will be held in Taura-
si’s hometown of Los Angeles?
“I’ll be there,” she said, “with a beer,
on the beach, sitting next to Sue.”

PARIS – Brittney Griner’s eyes began
to fill as she heard the first notes of “The
Star-Spangled Banner.” As she watched
the U.S. flag rise, she cried unabashedly.
It wasn’t long ago she was in a Rus-
sian prison, uncertain of when – or if –
she’d get back home. Now, as she stood
on the top step of the medals podium,
the gold medal she helped win for her
country heavy around her neck, Griner
was overcome with emotion.
By the time the anthem finished, her
face was wet with tears. While her
teammates huddled together and began
cheesing for photos, Griner took a sec-
ond to compose herself, swiping at her
face with her hand before she joined
them.
“It means so much to me,” Griner
said, her voice growing thick once
again. “I didn’t think I’d be here, like I’ve
said before. And then to be here winning
gold for my country, representing, when
my country fought so hard for me to
even be standing here – yeah, this gold
is going to hold a special place.”
Griner’s story is known to most ev-
eryone by now. Arrested in February
2022 after two nearly-spent vape car-
tridges with hash oil were found in her
bag, she spent almost 10 months in a
Russian prison. Though marijuana in
any form is illegal in Russia, Griner was
a political pawn.
Arrested just days before Russia’s
unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, she
was a propaganda gold mine for Vladi-
mir Putin in his cold war with the United
States. A valuable bargaining chip, too.
In her book, Griner details how dehu-
manizing and demoralizing her impris-
onment was. What kept her going was
the love of her family, her basketball
family included.
Though Griner said when she re-
turned that she planned to play again,
re-entry was not easy. Physically or psy-
chologically. Even here in France, her
first trip overseas since her December
2022 release, there were flashbacks.
The first train ride to Lille, where the
U.S. women played their group stage
games, was hard. The last time she’d
been on a train it was to travel between
prisons in Russia.
“BG’s gone through a lot the last few
years,” said Diana Taurasi, who is Grin-
er’s teammate with the Phoenix Mercu-
ry in the WNBA and one of her closest
friends. “When you talk about literally
where she was (almost) three years ago,
it’s almost mind boggling that she’s
been able to get back to this point. It
shows a lot of character.”
There is something healing for Griner
in basketball, though. The affection
from her teammates and players from
other countries is genuine. After the
U.S. women beat Australia in group play,
Aussie legend Lauren Jackson sought
Griner out in the mixed zone and they
exchanged a long hug.
It was the first time the three-time
WNBA MVP had seen Griner since her
release.
“We did follow it. It was on the news
every day; it was horrible,” Jackson said.
“I feel really honored that I got the op-
portunity to match up with her again,
even for a couple minutes. She’s a beau-
tiful human.”
There are those who’ve tried to paint
Griner as anything but, suggesting she
somehow deserved the fate she got. Or,
worse, was ungrateful to her country.
Nothing could be further from the truth,
as those who actually know her know.
Griner let it be known soon after she
returned that she wanted to play for
USA Basketball again. She is a mainstay
of the national team, having already
won gold medals in Rio de Janeiro and
Tokyo, and putting on the uniform again
was the best way she knew to express
the gratitude she feels for the United
States.
She delighted being around her
teammates, who relished the joy she
had at these Olympics. She’s a friendly
and fun presence in any locker room, a
quality desperately needed on a stage
like this and with massive expectations
for the U.S. women.
But there is a burden she carries that
no one else can understand. After the fi-
nal whistle, Griner found wife Cherelle.
Then, while her teammates were still
celebrating, Griner went backstage and
found a bathroom, where she let all of
the emotions wash over her.
“When you see BG around the team,
outward, she’s OK. But you know inside,
there’s a lot going on there,” U.S. coach
Cheryl Reeve said. “But she always pre-
sents her very best version of herself,
despite all that she went through.
“ And she is thankful to be here. She
was so thankful to be here.”
U.S. Olympians always talk about the
pride they have of representing their
country, the privilege of wearing the
red, white and blue.
For Griner, though, there is gratitude
most of all.
“I always wanted to be here,” she
said. “My country fought for me to get
back. I was able to bring home gold for
my country. There’s just no greater feel-
ing.”

PARIS – Kennedy Blades felt the ini-
tially undesired Olympic medal in her
hands, looked at it, tossed it slowly to
gauge the weight. Then she looked at it
some more.
Silver was growing on her quickly.
“It’s still a cool medal,” she said.
Blades’ surprising Olympic wrestling
run ended Sunday with a 3-1 defeat to
Japan’s Yuka Kagami, last year’s world
champion, in the gold medal match of
the women’s 76-kilogram freestyle
competition at Champ de Mars Arena
near the Eiffel Tower.
The unseeded Blades, a 20-year-old
from Chicago in her first Olympics, had
won consecutive matches against the
tournament’s No. 4, No. 5 and No. 1
seeds to reach the final
wrestling match of the
Paris Olympics.
Only Kagami, the No. 2
seed, proved too difficult
for Blades in what was a
close, low-scoring six
minutes. With 1:22 re-
maining, Kagami was awarded two
points for a takedown and then held on
in the final moments.
“I already knew that I was at this lev-
el,” Blades said, “but I just showed the
world. Obviously, I did want gold, of
course. But second-best thing.”
After waiting through the Paris
Games to compete, Blades emerged in
the Olympics’ final days as a breakout
American star to watch for at the 2028
Games in Los Angeles. A clip spread on
social media of her picking up Roma-
nia’s Catalina Axente and throwing her
during an 11-0 victory in Blades’ opening
match.
And a wider sporting public has
started to learn her story: Blades began
wrestling at age 7 and reportedly made
history by winning a youth title in Illi-
nois competing against boys. She beat
the USA ’s Adeline Gray, silver medalist
in Tokyo, in the Olympic trials to make it
to Paris.
After Axente, Blades went on to de-
feat Milaimy Marin Potrille of Cuba
(4-3) and top-seeded Aiperi Medet Kyzy
of Kyrgyzstan (8-6).
The Cuban wrestler ended up win-
ning bronze with Colombia’s Tatiana
Renteria Renteria.
“It was really cool that the two bronze
medals were also Latina,” Blades said.
“So it was three of us on that podium,
and I don’t know if that’s ever really
happened. It was really cool that we
were able to represent our heritage.”
Blades said she hopes that will help
inspire younger Latina athletes and
wrestlers.
“Growing up (in sports),” she said, “I
didn’t really have a role model.”
After attending Arizona State Uni-
versity, Blades is set to transfer to the
University of Iowa and start fall classes
later this month, though she said, “I
haven’t even seen campus or anything.”
As for her new silver medal?
It’s going to her parents.
“ Just because I don’t trust myself,”
she said with a laugh, noting that a cou-
ple of previous medals she’d won were
somewhere in a bag that she hasn’t been
able to find.
“We’re going to keep this one safe.”

Brooks Koepka shot a final-round
7-under-par 63 to leapfrog the field at
the LIV Golf Greenbrier event Sunday to
become the first five-time winner on the
three-year-old circuit.
It’s Koepka second win this season
following the LIV Golf event in Singa-
pore in May.
He got back in the winner’s circle
Sunday at The Old White Course at The
Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs,
West Virginia, after outlasting Richard
Bland, Jason Kokrak and Jon Rahm
down the stretch. Rahm was the 36-hole
leader after his second-round 8-under
62 but shot a final-round 5-under 65,
matching Koepka after 54 holes.
The duo went to a playoff, where
Koepka won with a par. Rahm won the
last LIV event in the UK.
Last week, Koepka’s Smash GC
teammate Graeme McDowell was sus-
pended for one event for violating LIV
Golf ’s anti-doping policy.
Koepka banked $4 million for the
win. He will also share the $3 million
team prize with his Smash GC team-
mates Kokrak, Talor Gooch and fill-in
John Catlin, who subbed in during Mc-
Dowell’s suspension.
First albatross on tour
On Saturday, LIV Golf had its first al-
batross when Brendan Steele holed his
second shot from 285 yards at the par-5
17th with a 4-wood. It’s also the longest
holed shot in LIV Golf history.
Steele said he didn’t see it go in.
“We were trying to be aggressive, get
it up there and have a chance for a 3,” he
said. “It flew like all the way back to the
hole and landed really soft and just kind
of trickled in, I guess. Really cool.
“Obviously wasn’t expecting that.”

Hideki Matsuyama blew a big lead
but he recovered to birdie the final two
holes and edge Viktor Hovland and Xan-
der Schauffele by two strokes to win the
2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship.
“No lead is safe and I knew someone
was going to make a run,” Matsuyama
said Sunday of falling a
stroke back. “I felt today’s
victory slipping away. ... I
knew I had to birdie and
somehow I was able to
get it on the green and
(make the putt). It made
18 a lot easier to play.”
The 32-year-old Japa-
nese star had his wallet stolen last week
and didn’t have his coach or caddie, who
had their passports lifted in the theft, at
his disposal but it didn’t bother his
game. “Maybe because of that, I won
this week,” Matsuyama mused.
Or it may have been because he
changed putters and had his best put-
ting week of the season, closing in even-
par 70 at TPC Southwind in Memphis,
Tennessee, on Sunday and a 72-hole to-
tal of 17-under 263. Matsuyama typical-
ly travels with as many as six different
putters and before the tournament be-
gan he tinkered with them on the prac-
tice green. “I felt like I needed a change
of pace, kind of a refresh with my put-
ter,” he explained.
Matsuyama, who won the bronze
medal two weeks ago at the Paris Olym-
pics, built a five-stroke lead, the largest
54-hole lead on the PGA Tour this sea-
son. But he still took three putters to the
practice green on Sunday morning. He
elected to stick with the Scotty Cameron
putter that had treated him so well since
he stuck it in the bag on Thursday.
“I’ve had the putter for a while, and I
thought, well, it might be a good week to
debut that putter,” said Matsuyama,
who gained 8.2 strokes on the greens
against the field.
Wearing a splash of his Sunday yel-
low and white, he opened with seven
consecutive pars before he buried a 39-
foot birdie putt at No. 8 and a 19-foot
birdie putt at No. 11. On another typically
hot and humid day, it looked as if Mat-
suyama wouldn’t need to break a sweat
walking the difficult closing stretch in
Memphis at a course where he lost in a
playoff three years ago. Matsuyama
played his first 65 holes in 19 under and
then the next five in 4 over, finding the
water off the tee at the par-3 14th for a
bogey and a double bogey at the 15th
that cost him the lead to Hovland.
“I knew I still had two holes left, and
that was just what I was thinking: Two
more holes. I’ve got to make one bird-
ie,” Matsuyama said.
Matsuyama then sank a 26-foot up-
hill birdie putt at 17 to regain the lead
and hit a beauty at 18 to 6 feet to seal
his second win of the season, 10th ca-
reer tour title and improve to third in
the FedExCup standings.
Schauffele trailed Matsuyama by
nine strokes to start the day but bird-
ied four of the first six holes and shot a
bogey-free 7-under 63.
“It was a head-down day,” said
Schauffele, who lipped out a birdie
chip at 18. “You’re so far back.”
It’s been a disappointing year for
Hovland, who had recorded one top-10
finish this season. He needed to jump
into the top 50 this weekend to ad-
vance to the BMW Championship, oth-
erwise he would’ve been the first play-
er not to defend his title at the BMW .
He made a bogey at 17 and missed a 9-
foot birdie putt in his bid to win his
third consecutive FedExCup Playoffs
event dating to last year.
Still, he vaulted to No. 16 in the sea-
son-long standings and will have a
chance to defend his title at the Tour
Championship.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who
remains in the lead in the FedExCup
standings, drained a 41-foot birdie putt
at 18 to shoot 66 and finish fourth.
“I put up a good fight this week,”
Scheffler said. “I tried to make my way
up the leaderboard, but I just wasn’t
able to do it.”
After the Olympics, Matsuyama
stopped in London for one day and en-
joyed a celebratory meal with his cad-
die, Shota Hayato, and coach, Mikihito
Kuromiya.
Matsuyama had already paid the
bill when a robber swiped his wallet
and also nabbed the passports and vi-
sas of his caddie. The members of Mat-
suyama’s team had no choice but to re-
turn to Japan and request expedited
travel documents instead of going to
Memphis for the first leg of the Play-
offs.
“Luckily I only lost my wallet,” said
Matsuyama, who talked to his coach
every day and used the regular caddie
of fellow Japanese tour pro Ryo Hisat-
sune. “I’ve forgotten it completely. It’s
not even an issue now.”
Nothing would stop Matsuyama
from finally winning a FedExCup Play-
offs event.
“I’ve tried hard for 10 years, and it’s
a great feeling of satisfaction to finally
be able to have done it,” he said.

Did Hideki Matsuyama violate Rule
8-1 during the final round of the FedEx
St. Jude Championship on Sunday?
The PGA Tour determined that a vio-
lation wasn’t committed by the even-
tual champion, but the moment is
worth closer investigation.
On the 12th hole, PGA Tour chief
rules referee Gary Young spoke to Mat-
suyama.
Rule 8-1 from the Rules of Golf ad-
dresses “Players Actions That Improve
Conditions Affecting the Stroke,” and
in this particular circumstance there
was some concern whether Matsuya-
ma had improved his line by tapping
down his pitch mark after his second
shot at the seventh hole at TPC South-
wind had rolled back into a collection
area. Matsuyama clearly walked up to
the green and tapped down his pitch
mark before playing his third shot on
to the green.
“Rule 8-1 is very specific about what
a player can do as it pertains to the line
of play,” Young explained in a post-
round interview with Golf Channel’s
Todd Lewis. “It came to our attention
that Hideki may have done something
on his line of play.”
Young approached the Japanese
star and addressed the situation with
Matsuyama and his interpreter, Robert
Turner. Matsuyama had just made a
birdie to reach 19 under and owned a
seemingly commanding five-stroke
lead.
“The video showed that Hideki
walked forward and stepped down
with irregularity at a what turned out
to be a pitch mark. At that point, it was
a question of whether it was on his line
of play. A couple of video angles
showed that it was close, close enough
to have to have that conversation with
him, and unfortunately we had to have
that conversation mid-round with
him, which is never comforting when
you have to go out and talk with that
player,” Young said. “But it could affect
his strategy playing for the rest of the
round if he is going to get a two-stroke
penalty. So, I simply had to ask him the
question, Hideki, on that hole, and he
did recall the situation that he had
walked forward. I asked him what ex-
actly did he do and why did he do it, he
just said it was something that he nor-
mally does when he has a pitch mark
and he felt it was nowhere near his line
of play and that was why he stepped it
down.
“Following the conversation with
him, I felt very comfortable that he felt
it was well off his line of play and then
we did get supporting video evidence
from a different camera angle which
clearly showed where he plays his shot
and where the pitch mark was. It was a
good 3 feet away. Now, some people may
say, well, that’s pretty close. For that
short of a shot and one of the best play-
ers in the world that is a pretty tight area
you’re talking about, so, the committee
felt very, very comfortable with the de-
cision.”
Lewis pressed Young if there was any
additional discussion thereafter wheth-
er a rules violation had occurred and
Young answered, “In my mind, when we
had that conversation, I felt a comfort
level that he was well off his line of play.”
Lewis also asked why it took several
holes for Matsuyama to be informed of
the potential rules violation.
“It took some time for the message to
come to me that this potential violation
had occurred. Then it took time to look
for any video evidence. Next it was cir-
culated to all of the members of the rules
committee and Young also consulted
with the USGA to make sure they had
their support,” he said. “It felt really bad
to possibly have affected him, but that’s
the rough part of our job.”
Matsuyama’s round went off the rails
as he played holes 12 to 16 in 4 over and
lost the lead temporarily to Viktor Hov-
land before righting the ship and mak-
ing birdies on the final two holes to win
by two strokes over Hovland and Xan-
der Schauffele.
“It was really a non-issue,” Matsuya-
ma said after the round. “They just
wanted to check and make sure that the
rules were kept, which they were. And it
really did not affect me the rest of the
day.
“If I was worried that I had done
something wrong, that would have rat-
tled me. But it was really a non-issue, so
it was fine.”
