Basketball at the 2004 Athina Summer Games:

The United States’ women had not lost an international game or tournament since the 1992 Olympics. The team was slightly different as Teresa Edwards was gone, but they still had Lisa Leslie and Sheryl Swoopes. Edwards spot at point guard was taken by Dawn Staley, playing in her third consecutive Olympics. It mattered little, as the USA was again unstoppable, winning every game. In Group B, their closest game was against Spain, winning 71-58. In the semi-finals, they were pushed by Russia, but won 66-62. The final was a re-match of the 2000 Olympic final, with the Americans defeating Australia, 74-63. Russia defeated Brazil to win the bronze medal.
