Young decided to pick up. Because she did, she\u2019s an Olympic gold medalist.Young, a rising WNBA star, had flown to Florida for a four-day getaway to relax during the league\u2019s monthlong Olympic break. That night, USA Basketball director Jay Demings called and asked if she\u2019d like to take a different type of trip. Before long, Kara Lawson was on the line too. Lawson was set to coach Team USA\u2019s inaugural 3&#215;3 basketball team in Tokyo starting \u2026 next week. The plane left Monday. Would Young want to join?Demings and Lawson didn\u2019t offer her a guaranteed spot on the four-woman roster that night. But earlier in the day, Katie Lou Samuelson, one of the original four, had tested positive for COVID-19. The Olympic competition started in seven days. The time difference cut the window to 6 1\/2. The Japanese government was requiring two negative COVID tests on separate days as a condition for entry to the country. So, Young was told, no guarantees \u2026 but if you\u2019d like to be an Olympian, get yourself home ASAP.<span class=\"storyimage fullwidth inlineimage\" data-aop=\"image\"> <span class=\"image\" data-attrib=\"Provided by Yahoo!

A mental switch to flip. Three-on-three basketball is still, at its core, basketball, but it\u2019s a different, faster-paced, more physical version of the game. Many experienced 3&#215;3 players say the learning curve is steep. Young had played it in 2019, and at a few training camps in 2020, but her elite experience was minimal.But there was no time to sit down and think, to scheme, to settle in Tokyo. The two-games-per-day competition arrived on Saturday. Jill Biden showed up to watch. A week after being on vacation, perhaps planning to watch the Olympics from home, Young was meeting the first lady.Five days later, she was diving for loose balls on an outdoor court and careening out of bounds to save possessions. She was rushing to embrace teammates at the free-throw line to celebrate an <a tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/team-usa-wins-3-x-3-basketball-gold-sport-wins-the-tokyo-olympics-132102782.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-id=\"95\" data-m=\"{&quot;i&quot;:95,&quot;p&quot;:73,&quot;n&quot;:&quot;partnerLink&quot;,&quot;y&quot;:24,&quot;o&quot;:12}\">18-15 final victory over Russia<\/a>. She was fist-bumping International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach.Later, she clasped hands with Plum and Dolson and stepped onto a podium. Dolson placed a gold medal around her neck. She posed for pictures with it. Pretended to bite. Clutched it with her left hand as she walked off into the night.<\/strong><strong>And to think: \u201cI was on vacation. And then my life changed like that,\u201d she said with a snap of her fingers. \u201cAnd now I&#8217;m a gold medalist.
