Mallory Swanson, who endured a challenging year due to a severe knee injury, is now making her presence felt in the Olympics. Grateful to be in France, she scored two pivotal goals in the US team's 3-0 victory over Zambia.

Swanson was the leading scorer for the team before her injury sidelined her from the Women's World Cup. The path to recovery was long, involving surgery on her patella tendon and missing the World Cup. However, her hard work paid off as she returned stronger, playing alongside Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman under the new coach Emma Hayes.

Swanson's contributions and the evolving team dynamic promise a hopeful campaign for the US as they advance in the tournament. Their sights are set on a strong finish, beginning with their game against Germany, and ultimately achieving Olympic glory.
