Olympic 2021 Medal Count: Final Tally, Winners from Day 5 Early Events

The United States captured the first of what is hopefully three basketball gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday morning. 

The women's 3x3 basketball squad became one of the two first-ever gold medalists in the new basketball discipline with a three-point win over the Russian Olympic Committee. (All Russian athletes at the Tokyo Games are competing for the ROC. A ruling last year by the Court of Arbitration for Sport banned Russia's team name as punishment for an extensive doping program and cover-ups.) Latvia won the men's competition.

The five-on-five men's and women's basketball teams are still in group-stage play in their respective events. The American men defeated Iran 120-66 early Wednesday morning. 

While the United States is used to having many medal winners at a single Olympics, Fiji is not. The Pacific island nation has two gold medals in its Olympic history. Both of them have come from the men's rugby sevens team. 

Fiji claimed back-to-back golds in rugby sevens with a victory over New Zealand to conclude the three-day tournament. 

After Wednesday morning's events, the United States leads the overall medal table with 31, with Japan owns the most golds with 13. The full medal table can be found here on the Olympics website.

United States Women Win First 3x3 Basketball Gold

The United States had one opportunity to win a medal in the new 3x3 basketball discipline. 

The American women qualified as the favorite to win their tournament, while the men did not make it to Japan. 

Stefanie Dolson, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young and Allisha Gray lived up to the favorite status to bring home gold for the United States. 

The game went the full 10 minutes because neither team reached 21 points. 

Dolson, Young and Gray all won the NCAA women's basketball tournament in their careers. Dolson won twice with UConn in 2013 and 2014. Gray was a champion with South Carolina in 2017, and Young hoisted the trophy with Notre Dame in 2018. Plum, who plays for the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, won two Turkish League championships with Fenerbahce.

Gray told USA Today's Tyler Dragon that nothing will top winning the gold medal, except for maybe another first-place finish at the Olympics. 

"A gold medal is top tier in my career," Gray said. "I think the only thing that can top this is winning another gold medal. I don't think any other accomplishment in my career tops this gold medal. The gold medal sits at the very top."

The Americans went 6-1 in pool play to earn an automatic berth in the semifinals, where they defeated France to reach the final. 

The hope for USA Basketball is this medal is the first of three in Tokyo. The men's basketball team is 1-1 in group play, and the women's basketball squad is 1-0 so far. 

Fiji Captures 2nd-Ever Olympic Medal

Fiji sits on the opposite end of the medal spectrum as the United States, so when an Olympic medal is earned, a party breaks out on the island. 

Its men's rugby sevens team won a second consecutive gold medal with a 27-14 victory over New Zealand on Wednesday.

Fiji blew through the competition in Tokyo, as it won six straight games. Five of its six wins and all of its elimination-round triumphs were by double figures. 

The victory came at the end of a rough few months off the rugby pitch since Fiji's team was placed in a bio-secure bubble in April to prepare for the Olympics. 

Fiji head coach Gareth Baber mentioned to the AP's John Pye what the gold medal means to everyone back home. 

"It's hard to underestimate the effect this has in Fiji," Baber said. "It's something that's obviously closely linked to national identity. Succeeding as a small nation against the odds, against bigger brothers, it's particularly good for Fiji."

Prior to the introduction of rugby sevens in the Olympics, Fiji had not won any medals. The Fijian men won five years ago in Rio de Janeiro and held on to their crown for at least another three years with their victory over New Zealand.
