Team USA Women’s Rugby Sevens team finally scored its first-ever Olympic medal on Tuesday when they took home a bronze in an unbelievable finish.
During the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the U.S. faced off against Australia in a heated game that literally came down to the final 90 seconds of the game, with USA coming away the victor, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/us-women-earn-first-rugby-sevens-medal-alex-sedricks-long-try-time-exp-rcna164328">NBC News</a> reported.
In clips that have surfaced on <a href="https://x.com/NBCOlympics/status/1818360220009341283">X</a>, USA had fallen to 7-12 behind Australia, when the Aussie’s Maddison Levi went for the conversion and missed. Team USA’s Ariana Ramsey got the ball and threw it to teammate Alex Sedrick, who caught the ball and went on to fight off not one but three Team Australia defenders.

A FINISH YOU HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE! 😱
ALEX SEDRICK LEADS TEAM USA TO THE FIRST-EVER OLYMPIC RUGBY SEVENS MEDAL FOR THE UNITED STATES ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME! 🥉 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ParisOlympics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ParisOlympics</a> <a href="https://t.co/1FMu9SWxDo">pic.twitter.com/1FMu9SWxDo</a>

It was then off to the races as Sedrick ran the entire length of the rugby pitch with no one even close to catching her. 
In the final seconds, she dove over the line and slid down under the posts to score as her team went wild, bringing the score to 12-12.
It was then up to Sedrick — who isn’t the normal kicker for the team — to make the final kick that went right through the uprights to give USA a 14-12 victory, the outlet noted.
Members of Team USA then gather on the field to hug and celebrate as the crowd goes wild with their historic win.
&#8220;One minute for the rest of her life, that&#8217;s a life changing moment for all of us and for rugby in America,&#8221; said overjoyed prop Kristi Kirshe, a native of Franklin, Massachusetts. &#8220;And thank God, (Sedrick) took off the way she did.&#8221;
Team USA continues making history at the 2024 Olympics. On Sunday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-swimmer-breaks-120-year-old-olympic-record-medals-at-31-while-holding-full-time-job">American swimmer Nic Fink</a> broke a 120-year-old Olympic record when he tied British champion Adam Peaty for the silver medal in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke: he competed — and medaled — in the Olympic Games at the age of 31 while also holding down a day job.
On Monday, American pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik delivered a great routine to give the US a bronze medal in the team event, marking the first team medal for the U.S. men’s team since 2008, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-clark-kent-of-the-pommel-horse-delivers-first-team-medal-for-us-mens-gymnastics-in-16-years">reported</a>.
