the u.s. women’s basketball team show how it’s done, by winning the gold in a tough match against the australian team, which features new superstar and wnba mvp lauren jackson.
what was pretty touching was watching the players get all emotional about winning the gold medal, like tina thompson and swin cash.
meanwhile, the men mildly redeem themselves by winning the bronze over a favored lithuanian team that had beaten them previously in pool play.
all things considered, their olympic run wasn’t too horrible, was it? they lost in exhibition to italy, which wasn’t considered medal quality yet who ended up with a silver, and then in the olympics lost to fourth place lithuania and the gold-medal winner argentina.
let’s not talk about that loss to puerto rico.
on the bright side, taiwan won their first two gold medals ever, winning two (plus a silver) in taekwondo on thursday.
