In the seven Olympics tournaments to feature a women's football competition since 1996, only four nations (the United States, Norway, Germany, and Canada) have ever won gold -- though Brazil have an opportunity to add their name to the list when they face the USWNT on Saturday.
“I think probably my greatest-ever sporting achievement is the London 2012 bronze,” Rhian Wilkinson, a two-time bronze-medal winner with Canada, told ESPN.
"Witnessing that tournament was life-changing for myself," she said. "It opened my eyes; it allowed me to really dream and see true examples of players, Canadian players, competing at the highest level. That tournament sparked a fire in me."
