Marta chases Olympic soccer gold as she prepares to pass the torch to Brazil’s youth

Brazilian legend Marta will play her last Olympics in France before retiring from the national team. It will be Marta’s sixth Olympics. She has won the player of the year award six times, more than any other woman. But at 38, she has decided that this will be her last major tournament with Brazil. The Brazilians have won two silver medals during Marta’s tenure, but Olympic gold has eluded the team.
