We’ve been treated to quite the spectacle at the 2024 Olympic Games this evening — and it has been a particularly good night in Paris for the US.

Here are some key takeaways from the penultimate day of the Summer Games:

“Re-Dream Team” takes gold: Golden State Warriors legend Steph Curry led the way as the superstar-powered Team USA won its fifth consecutive gold medal. Curry had an incredible closing minute in his first — and he says only — Olympic Games. The US beat a tough French team that pulled out all the stops in front of a raucous home crowd in Paris.

USWNT back on top: The US women’s soccer team beat Brazil 1-0 in the final to reclaim the gold medal it last won in London 2012. Mallory Swanson’s goal and some clutch saves from US keeper Alyssa Naeher made the difference in the second half, as Brazil legend Marta now retires with three silver medals to her name, but no elusive gold.

Big night for track and field: It was the last night of the stadium program for athletics at the Paris Games, and it did not disappoint:

New Olympic event: There were more dance battles and medals handed out in the debuting event of breaking, with the wonderfully named Phil Wizard working his magic to win the gold medal for Canada, beating home favorite Dany Dann in the final.

Sweeps for China: The Chinese women’s table tennis team beat Japan to complete a clean sweep of all the event’s gold medals on offer in Paris. It means China has only missed out on two gold medals since table tennis was introduced at Seoul 1988.

Earlier on Saturday, China began its golden day by also completing the clean sweep in diving, as Yuan Cao won the men’s 10-meter platform title. China won all eight gold medals available in Paris — a staggering total.

Marathon history: In the men’s marathon, the opening event of the day, Ethiopia’s Tamirat Tola set a new Olympic record time of 2:06:26 to take the title by 21 seconds.

Women’s golf final: New Zealand star Lydia Ko claimed the women’s golf gold medal after finishing on 10-under par, two shots clear of Esther Henseleit of Germany in silver. Ko adds Olympic gold to the two major titles she won in 2015 and 2016.

The French team looks absolutely shattered on the sidelines.

Victor Wembanyana, the reigning NBA rookie of the year, appears to be in tears and getting a pep talk from a teammate. Other players are simply standing on the floor, staring off into space.

The French fans are cheering their team after what was truly an incredible week for them here in Paris. The defeat of Canada on Tuesday in the quarterfinals and the win over Germany in the semifinals had the French rightly believing that they could top this ultra-talented US team.

In the end, it took a superhuman effort from Steph Curry to finally put them away. It’s a silver medal well-earned, and it certainly does not appear that any of the fans here at the Bercy Arena are upset with their players.

Steph Curry has just delivered the gold medal to Team USA with an incredible closing minute in his Olympic final debut.

Curry hit four absolute dagger threes in the final two minutes to finally put a spirited French team away.

What an incredible finish for the Golden State Warriors star, who is finally playing in his first Olympics at age 36. He hit vintage Curry shots, including one that was as pure a heat-check as one could imagine.

The French fans in the Bercy Arena made a noise that was somewhere between heartbreak, disbelief, admiration and shock as that looping shot fell, and the outcome was written.

It’s the fifth straight gold medal in the Olympics for Team USA. The final score is 98-87.

Steph Curry is going off in Paris!

Three straight US possessions, three straight threes from the best to ever do it from long range, who is playing in his first — and he says only — Olympics.

The US lead is nine with a minute to go.

The French are mounting the late run we said they’d need earlier. But Steph Curry was ready to answer.

The arena here was going wild as the French pulled within three points after a spell of sloppy play by Team USA. But as the Americans came back down the floor, Curry got the ball at the top of the key and absolutely buried it.

It’s a blow to the French fans here, who were on the verge of bedlam. With a quick stop and then a French foul, Team USA restores its lead to eight points, 87-79 with just 2:22 to go.

Frances's Bilal Coulibaly, Devin Booker of Team USA, Guerschon Yabusele of France and the United States' Bam Adebayo battle for possession.

The French team is hanging around, but they just can’t get closer to the US.

With 4:46 to go in the fourth, it’s now 82-74 in favor of Team USA, and the French haven’t managed to narrow the gap more than the six-point deficit they faced at the end of the third.

The game is getting scrappy now, with both teams committing turnovers, and the frustration in the Paris crowd is building with every French missed opportunity.

If there was a time for the French to have one last run in this tournament on home turf, it’s now.

French fans cheer during the game.

And as we turn toward the fourth quarter, Bercy Arena is all the way back alive.

With a goaltending call on American superstar Kevin Durant, France cuts the US lead to 72-66 as the clock expires on the third quarter.

The crowd goes nuts as “Freed From Desire” once again plays at these Olympic games. The crowd is dancing and tricolore flags are waving all around the arena. Fans are dancing and singing along to the unofficial anthem of Paris 2024.

It doesn’t appear the French are going to let the Americans walk away with this one. We’re in for a fight down the stretch here.

French legend Tony Parker speaks with CNN's Coy Wire.

With the France vs. US men’s basketball final looking like it will remain tight until the final minutes, CNN caught up with French legend Tony Parker at halftime.

Parker revealed who each team would want to have the ball in their hands if the game comes down to the final seconds: “Wemby if it’s France,” he said, referring to Victor Wembanyama, the reigning NBA rookie of the year.

He laughed as he gave his analysis regarding the stacked Team USA’s best option, saying, “I’ll go with LeBron James for the US, because he’s either going to score, or he’ll make the right pass to find (Kevin Durant) or Steph Curry, the next two you want to have the ball.”

Ahead of the Games, Airbnb, a worldwide partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, launched a program that made 1,600 seats bookable for free on its platform, allowing fans to attend various competitions with 24 different star athletes in their respective sports. Parker is participating in the program tonight at the men’s basketball gold medal game.
