United States women’s basketball forwards A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are used to winning golds together.

After the Americans defeated France 67-66 on Sunday to earn their record-eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal, Wilson and Stewart have now won two Olympic gold medals while on the same roster. It’s not their only two shared golds, however.

After the win, Stewart posted a throwback picture of her and Wilson after the 2013 U-19 Women’s World Championship. The duo were also teammates with Kelsey Plum, a fellow 2024 Paris Olympics selection. The United States won that tournament, ironically over France, whom it also beat on Sunday.

“Now vs Then,” Stewart posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday. The first picture showed the duo in 2013, then again following Sunday’s game, recreating the same poses.

Here’s a look at the throwback picture shared by Stewart on Sunday:
