The Tokyo Olympics end with Closing Ceremony

Sue Bird says she feels "lucky" that partner and Team USA soccer star Megan Rapinoe was able to watch her win basketball gold at Tokyo 2020.

The US women's basketball team defeated host nation Japan 90-75 in the gold medal game. Team USA has now won seven consecutive Olympic golds dating back to 1996 as Bird and teammate Diana Taurasi picked up their fifth career Olympic golds.

"Obviously when your partner or your fiancee is also in the Olympics you would love to be able to go and support them, be around them, to give any kind of support possible," Bird told reporters.

"Just went over and obviously told her I loved her and told her I was tired, and that was pretty much the extent of the conversation, and she told me she was happy and proud of me."

On Thursday, Team USA defeated Australia to win the bronze medal in women’s soccer, with Rapinoe scoring twice in a 4-3 victory.

"Of course I'm so proud of her and her team (USA women's football) for winning that bronze medal," said Bird.

"The Olympics is hard. It's really hard. There's so much pressure involved and so to have both of us medal is something that I know we'll take that memory with us forever."

British boxer Lauren Price won the women’s middleweight (69-75kg) gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics with a unanimous 5-0 decision over China’s Li Qian, who claimed the silver. 

Price’s dominant performance gave Great Britain its 22nd gold medal of the Games and 65th total medal.

Zenfira Magomedalieva of the Russian Olympic Committee and Netherlands’ Nouchka Fontijn claimed bronze.

Gold medalist Price is not just gold medal winning boxer. The 27-year-old has represented Wales in football and has competed at an international level in kickboxing, netball and taekwondo.

Ahead of Tokyo 2020, she sat down with Prince William where she discussed her life story and spoke about losing her grandfather.

“I’d bet your grandpa is very proud of you, and I’m sure you’ll make him even more proud at the Olympics," Prince William told Price.

Team USA cyclist Jennifer Valente is a gold medalist after winning the Omnium track cycling event.

The American said clinching the win with spectators watching on made her victory more thrilling at the Tokyo 2020 velodrome.

Despite fans being unable to watch the vast majority of events at this year's Games, organizers permitted a 50% capacity of up to 1,800 people at the track cycling venue.

“The spectators really made it feel like a race," the 26-year-old Valente told reporters.

"We all kind of went into it thinking it was going to be a quiet venue, and a quiet velodrome, having that in the back of our heads that it was a possibility.

"To have spectators and feel the crowd and the energy definitely contributed to harder and faster racing.”

Valente's victory was the USA's first gold medal in track cycling since 2000.

“This result certainly has years and years behind it," added Valente. "With my teammates we won silver in the team pursuit in Rio (Olympic Games 2016) and bronze here this week.

“This past year we had all the team pursuit riders living and training in Colorado Springs. I think that was a huge contributing factor, to be around my teammates and constantly pushing each other day in and day out in different kinds of training sessions."
