In 2000, Venus Williams achieved Olympic glory, winning a Gold medal in singles at the Sydney Olympics. She then teamed up with her younger sister Serena to secure another Gold in doubles. This day marked the beginning of a historic journey for the Williams sisters.

Venus expressed the significance of this victory, highlighting their special bond. They became the first siblings to win an Olympic medal in tennis, paving the way for an incredible legacy. Venus said, “For me, this is almost bigger than singles. To have a victory like this with Serena, my sister and best friend, doesn’t happen very often.”

On the same date, Althea Gibson passed away three years later, whose legacy inspired the Williams sisters. Venus holds the record for the most Olympic Golds among Afro-American tennis players and has five Olympic medals, while Serena is close behind with four. Their influence extends to inspiring emerging talents like Coco Gauff and advocating for inclusivity and diversity.
