Team USA women’s rugby sevens star Ilona Maher shared an awesome celebration photo after winning bronze

Now this is how you celebrate a historic Olympic win.

The United States women’s national rugby sevens team earned its place in the history books on Tuesday, becoming the first American team in the sport to ever medal at the Olympics.

The team’s 2024 Paris Olympics bronze medal came on an incredibly dramatic finish where Alex Sedrick sprinted across the field at the last second for the game-winning try.

Team USA’s breakout rugby sevens star Ilona Maher relished in her brand-new Olympics hardware.

She immediately posted a photo of her on social media biting her Olympic bronze medal with a caption that read, “Delicious.” 

That’s such a cool way to celebrate such a monumental win for your team on the global stage, as Maher and her teammates will forever be known as the first Americans to medal at the Olympic Games in women’s rugby sevens.
