A'ja Wilson & Breanna Stewart Break 36-Year-Old Olympics Record

The “two-women tandem” continues! It has always been A’ja Wilson vs Breanna Stewart when MVP races are concerned. But for Team USA, this is a very lethal duo. Bringing their form from the WNBA into the Olympics, these two basketball stars have proven that neither the stage nor the opponent matters to them. In fact, they did not just bring an 87-74 win for the USA but also achieved a huge feat in the USA’s Olympics history.

With tonight’s win, Team USA clinched their spot for the Quarter Finals. Soon, the 12-player roster will fly to Paris for the knockout rounds. And what could be better than the boasting rights of having started their 2024 campaign with 20+ points display consecutively? Well, joining the WNBA legend, 4-time Olympic gold medalist Teresa Edwards surely comes to mind. Moreover, it was her 36-year-old Olympic record that these two WNBA superstars joined Edwards for.

The official X account of I talk hoops shared a tweet with their followers updating them on A’ja Wilson and Stewart’s achievements. They wrote, “A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are the first USA women’s players since Teresa Edwards in 1988 to start an Olympics with consecutive 20-point games! #Paris2024”
