The basketball players from the USA lived up to their role as favorites and stormed to their eleventh World Cup gold.
The record winner prevailed against China in the final in Sydney with 83:61 (43:33) and triumphed for the fourth time in a row.
This means that the Olympic champions have not been defeated at the World Championships for 30 games.
After the demonstration in the semi-finals against overwhelmed Canadians (83:43), the US team around star player Breanna Stewart only had slight problems with China in the beginning in the Superdome.
After the break, Kelsey Plum provided the first 20-point lead (63:43/29th minute), the defending champion around top scorer A'ja Wilson (19 points) made things clear early on.
Plum got 17 points.
On Tuesday, the Americans set a World Championship points record in a 145:69 win over South Korea.
The tournament favorite broke the 100-point mark in three games.
Brittney Griner in prison
The fate of their teammate Brittney Griner, who was imprisoned in Russia, weighed heavily on the basketball players.
"It's on the team's mind every day.
It's hard, it's really hard," head coach Cheryl Reeve said before the World Cup.
Her players could have emailed Griner to me, sending her "messages of affection, support and strength."
"We're trying to stay strong for her and we're doing what we can," promised Reeve, who described Griner as a "gentle soul filled with love."
Griner is "such a big part of our lives, it's a challenge." Griner's number 15 jersey was not worn by any US player in Sydney.
"It's the first way to honor her and keep her in our thoughts," Reeve said.
Before the final, Australia secured bronze in the small final against Canada with a 95:65 (51:43).
Lauren Jackson, who set the record with her 43rd World Cup appearance, was the hosts' top scorer with 30 points.
After the game, the 41-year-old ended her career in the Opals jersey.
