Kelsey Plum seems to be having a wonderful time at the 2024 Paris Olympics and why wouldn't she be. The WNBA All-Star is a member of the USA women's team that has cruised through the opening round of the tournament and is on an incredible 58-game win streak at the Olympics. On Sunday, Plum took some time out of her busy schedule to share some memories of the event on social media.

Kelsey Plum has never been one to shy away from the camera and seems to enjoy sharing her experiences with her 1.1 million followers on Instagram. Her latest collection of pictures captures the team in action during the group stages. The caption accompanying the pictures read:

"Pure joy"

The USA has taken the women's basketball tournament by storm with some dominating performances in the opening round. The team is yet to face a major challenge at the competition with wins over Japan (102-76), Belgium (87-74) and Germany 87-68.

Coach Cheryl Reeve will be hoping her team can maintain the same intensity when it faces Nigeria on Wednesday. A win in that upcoming quarterfinal would mean Team USA would be just two wins away from a historic eighth consecutive gold medal.

Several of the current USA women's roster were part of the 2021 team that won a Olympic gold medal including Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson. Kelsey Plum, however, was not a member of that side and will be looking to claim her first medal in the five versus five format.

Plum was at the previous Olympics and does have a gold medal to her name. The Las Vegas Aces guard was a member of the 3x3 USA team that took home the gold in Tokyo.
