Or will the USA women’s 5x5 basketball team replicate the men in beating France to claim the ultimate triumph. When considering the ability and winning mentality of their roster, it’s hard to back against them.

USA made a statement in the semi-finals, dispatching Australia 85-64 in an excellent all-round showing.

In the end, back the Olympic gold medal to once again be won by USA.
