Even the internet got in on the action, with the White House sharing a cheeky image of a bald eagle having its way with a Canadian goose, painting a vivid picture of this sweet success. President Trump chimed in, celebrating the perseverance and winning spirit of our athletes.

Sports can offer that rare blend of culture and entertainment, engaging even those who don’t frequent stadiums to rally behind our nation’s heroes.
As we dance our victory dances and sing out patriotic ballads, let’s remember this golden moment for Team USA as a beacon of hope for future contests.
