Social Media Roundup: Team USA Women's Team Reacts
The United States Women's Basketball team capped off an incredibly dominant run at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio with a 101-72 win over Spain to capture the gold. The team, led by Diana Taurasi went to Rio with one thought in mind: Gold or Bust. With the medals around their necks, these women took to social media to show respect to the teammates and family members who helped them achieve their goals.

For some like Taurasi and Seimone Augustus, the Rio games marked the end of their storied Olympic careers. For others, like Elana Delle Donne and Brittney Griner, the Olympics were a fresh experience that they hope to repeat.

Despite the differences in situations, the message remained consistent: Thank You.

Thank you to the teammates.
Thank you to the supportive parents.
And thank you for the country that followed their incredible run through Rio.
