Americans reminded winning won't be easy

WNBA all-star Caitlin Clark dribbles past Sabrina Ionescu of the U.S. Olympic team on Saturday night. The national team lost 117-109.

The men, favoured by 40 points, barely avoided what would have been an all-time upset with a 101100 victory in an exhibition against South Sudan on Saturday.

That night, the women suffered a 117-109 loss to a WNBA all-star team that included Arike Ogunbowale and Caitlin Clark, who weren't chosen to represent the U.S. in Paris.

Both Olympic teams said they would learn from the experience.
