On the eve of the gold medal game between the United States and France, we must pause and recognize the historic streak Team USA has put together.  The United States women have not lost a game in the Olympics since 1992 and are currently riding a 40-0 winning streak that spans 20 years.  A win against France will mean a fifth consecutive gold medal for the women's team, and arguably the most dominating run in Olympic history. 

Still this group of women is humble and took time to recognize the players before them that enabled this epic run.  Team USA took time out to tell us what past Olympians they looked up to and who inspired their dreams to one day play on the world's largest stage. (Watch the video.)
