TOKYO – The list of Duke alumni to reach the top of the Olympic mountain now includes a former women's soccer star, as Quinn and the Canada Women's National Team defeated Sweden in penalty kicks, 3-2, on Friday to capture the nation's first gold medal in the event.
Canada becomes just the fourth nation to win a gold medal in women's soccer. After claiming bronze at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Games, Quinn's side is also the third nation to win medals at three straight Olympics in the women's soccer tournament, joining USA (1996 to 2012) and Germany (2000 to 2008).
