Breanna Stewart took the sentimental route to celebrate her gold medal in women's basketball.

The U.S. star posted a now-vs-then photo on Instagram with teammate A'ja Wilson that showed the two of them sporting gold medals for Team USA during a youth international tournament.

The U.S. defeated France 67-66 to earn the medal. It was the program's eighth consecutive gold medal.

This was Stewart's third Olympic gold medal and Wilson's second.

Stewart had eight points, three rebounds and an assist in the title game. Wilson had 21 points and 13 rebounds in the victory. Stewart averaged 16.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists across the Olympic slate while Wilson averaged 18.7 10.2 and 1.8.

The U.S. women have won nine overall Olympic golds and have not lost a game at the Olympics since 1992. Sunday's victory was the squad's 61st consecutive victory.
