For those who didn’t hear team USA lost to japan in the gold medal game 2-0. For the second Olympics in a row team USA has gotten silver. It looked promising at first after team USA beat japan 2-1 in round robin play but japan managed to pull through in the gold medal game. I had a strong feeling that japan would win this Olympics. Throughout the round robin play we saw japan score way more runs than the USA team. Team USA had a very good defensive team and they had some of the best pitchers in the world but their offense has always been lacking. During the round robin play it felt like team USA really relied on Haylie McCleney to get on base and use her speed to score. Hopefully softball comes back in the 2028 Olympics so we can see who takes home the gold that year.
