USA soccer history at the Olympics: USWNT's success defines them, USMNT return after 16 years

The U.S. women's and men's soccer teams will compete at the Olympics together for the first time since 2008

The U.S. will be represented in both soccer competitions at the Olympics for the first time in 16 years, with the U-23 U.S. men's national team joining the four-time gold-winning U.S. women's national team in Paris.

It will mark just the fourth time both soccer teams will be at the Olympics at the same time, roughly 30 years after women's soccer was added to the Games' lineup in 1996. Both teams have hit some highs at the Olympics during that span but each team's journey has been a different one. While the U-23 men's team have missed out on a string of trips to the Games, the women's team have medaled all but once at the event.

Here's a look back at the U.S. teams' history at the Olympics.
