Though she didn’t represent the U.S. women’s national team at the summer Olympics this year, three-time Olympian Alex Morgan excitedly cheered on the United States at every opportunity. And now that the games are officially over, the 35-year-old San Diego Wave FC striker has revealed her top four favorite moments from the Paris Olympics: and they all involve women’s sports.

Morgan, a three-time SI Swimsuit model, called out surfer Caroline Marks’s Olympic gold medal win as the first epic moment on her list, along with Team USA women who dominated the 4x400 relay. Of course, Morgan, who has two Olympic medals to her name, also mentioned the USWNT winning gold, and lastly, the U.S. women’s rugby team taking home the bronze medal.

“This summer was for the girls 👏🤩,” Morgan declared in the caption of her Aug. 15 Instagram reel.
