Breanna Stewart has already competed at the Olympics once, helping the United States win the women's basketball gold medal in Rio. This summer, she's hoping for a similar result when Team USA looks to win its seventh-straight gold in women's basketball. Stewart, a two-time WNBA champion and former WNBA MVP, is expected to play a key role for Team USA when the games begin in Tokyo.
