After 15 magnificent days of thrilling victory, agonizing defeat and unity among nations from across the globe, competition wraps up at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Team USA women’s basketball (A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart), volleyball (Annie Drews, Kathryn Plummer) and cyclist Jennifer Valente all attempt to repeat titles from Tokyo — for basketball, it'd be a historic eighth-straight gold.

Below, a full breakdown of the top events and athletes to watch on Day 16 ahead of the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The American women face France in the final event of the Paris Olympics, a day after the U.S. men defeated the host nation 98-87.

It's a rematch of the 2012 London Olympics (won by the U.S. 86-59), and the first time the same two nations have played for gold in both tournaments at the same Games. The U.S. has swept every Olympics since the 2008 Beijing Games.

Superstars A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart have played brilliant in Paris, averaging 18 or more points per game and ranking second and third in efficiency scores. Wilson is also averaging 9.6 rebounds per game and 2.4 blocks per game.

A U.S. win would complete an eight-peat and set an Olympic team sport record, breaking a tie with the U.S. men's seven straight from 1936 to 1968. It would give them 61 straight wins, two away from the Games basketball record of 63.

France has had consistent success over the past three Games; in addition to the silver in London, it finished fourth in Rio and took bronze in Tokyo.

The U.S. women's volleyball team attempts to defend its Olympic gold against Italy.

Americans Annie Drews, Kathryn Plummer and Avery Skinner all  rank top 10 in scoring this tournament, while Chiaka Ogbogu's 21 blocks are second-best overall.

The Italians entered Paris ranked No. 1 in the world, having defeated Japan in the final of June's Volleyball Nations League. They beat the Americans in the quarterfinals.

American Jennifer Valente is favored to repeat her title in the women's omnium after winning two straight world championships since Tokyo.

Her challengers include reigning world bronze medalist Lotte Kopecky of Belgium, bronze medalist in Paris' road race, and Kiwi Ally Wollaston, a silver medalist in the Paris team pursuit.

American Kennedy Blades takes on reigning world champion Yuka Kagami of Japan in the women's freestyle 76kg gold medal final.

The 20-year-old defeated Tokyo silver medalist Adeline Gray at U.S. Olympic Trials to qualify for Paris.

Kyle Snyder, Blades' compatriot, lost to reigning world champion Akhmed Tazhudinov of Bahrain in Saturday's 97kg semifinals. The Rio gold and Tokyo silver medalist will look to add a bronze to complete a career medal trifecta.

It's the women's turn to battle Paris' treacherous marathon course, and they'll do it on the 40-year anniversary of the first-ever Olympic women's marathon, won by legend Joan Benoit Samuelson at the 1984 LA Games.

Ethiopian Tigst Assefa shattered the world record last year in Berlin (2:11:53) and enters Paris with the fifth-fastest time this year from April's London Marathon.

Defending Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya beat Assefa in London, and ranks slightly ahead in fourth.

World No. 9 Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands seeks a rare distance medal triple having already won two bronze medals on the track in the 5000m and 10,000m.

The Americans are U.S. Trials winner Fiona O'Keeffe, 2022 Chicago runner-up Emily Sisson and Minnesotan Dakotah Lindwurm.

The U.S. men's water polo team competes for bronze against Hungary. The Americans finished sixth in Tokyo, 10th in Rio and eighth in London.

In the gold medal match, two-time defending Olympic champion Serbia takes on Croatia, winner of gold in London and silver in Rio.

American Mary Theisen-Lappen is an outside medal contender in the women's +81kg.

Li Wenwen of China captured gold in Tokyo by a margin of 37kg (over 81 lbs.) and holds the world record for snatch (148kg), clean and jerk (187kg) and total (335kg).

A Wisconsin native, Theisen-Lappen won a Division II national title in discus for Indiana State.

The men's medal matches are Germany vs. Denmark for gold and Spain vs. Slovenia for bronze.

Denmark is the three-time reigning world champion, the Rio gold medalist and runner-up from Tokyo. Germany is trying to win its first handball gold since 1936.

Spain could win its second straight and fifth overall bronze medal. Slovenia has yet to reach a handball podium. When the two sides met at the Olympic Qualification tournament, Spain won by 10 goals.

Modern pentathlon competition wraps up with the women's final.

South Korea's Seong Seung-Min, 21, could become the youngest female medalist in the sport and win her nation its first medal in the event.

Entering Sunday's competition, the U.S. trailed China in total gold medals, 38 to 39.
