Jon Champion absolutely nailed the call for the USWNT winning the Paris Olympics gold medal match

The United States women’s national team won Saturday’s gold medal match over Brazil, cementing it as a historic day for American soccer.

It was such an electric match throughout, one where USWNT forward Mallory Swanson scored the lone goal for either team.

With this the first gold for the USWNT in 12 years, you had to hope the NBC Sports broadcast would bring it if the team was successful in bringing home the hardware.

Thankfully, broadcaster Jon Champion was up to the challenge.

He delivered such a memorable call of the closing moments, one that highlights how sweet it really was for the USWNT to finally get back to the gold medal match and win it outright.

While Swanson’s goal was easily the broadcast moment of the match, Champion’s outstanding call certainly deserves a ton of credit.
