Breanna Stewart and the other moms on the US women's basketball team are enjoying some special moments while chasing a piece of Olympic history. In addition to trying to become the first women's basketball team to win eight consecutive gold medals, they are having a rare bonding experience at the Paris Games. It's an Olympic version of Mommy and Me. The U.S. will play Australia on Friday night in the semifinals looking to extend the program's winning streak to 60 straight games. One more victory puts them in Sunday's gold medal game. First up is a birthday party for Stewart's daughter Ruby, who turns 3 on Friday. A family affair indeed likely with a Paw Patrol theme followed by a high stakes game hours later.
