USA Women win first 3x3 world championship

Chiney, Skylar, Bria and Ann took home the gold from Athens today by defeating Australia 19-18 in the semifinals, then coming back from a 5-point deficit to defeat France 17-16 in the championship game.

This is Chiney's third gold medal and the most precious one because, "We worked the hardest for it. Just four people trying to win a gold together, it was just amazing."

Here is the full report of today's activities from USA Basketball.
