The United States women's basketball team thumped Spain 101-72 to claim a sixth straight gold medal to rubberstamp their credentials as one of the greatest Olympic sporting dynasties of all time.
After a sloppy start that saw Spain lead much of the opening quarter, the United States finally settled into their familiar rhythm, turning a 10-0 run into a 17 point halftime lead.
From then on there was no way back for Spain as the US extended their Olympic winning streak to a staggering 49-0. Only two other nations claim such a run of domination in an Olympic team sport.
