It took the American duo just 49 minutes of play to create history and become the first sisters’ team to win Olympic gold in doubles. A little before the doubles finals, Venus had already conquered the women’s singles category; in less than 24 hours, she had won two Olympic gold medals.

The former World No.1 became the first woman since Helen Wills in 1924 to win both the Women’s single event and the Women’s doubles event. Hence, the tournament was far more memorable for Venus Williams.

Regardless, she believes nothing was more special than donning the championship medal alongside her sister, Serena. “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,” the champion said.
