This morning the United States' women's basketball team made our country proud and took home the gold medal. They defeated Australia by a score of 74-63.

It was a strong showing overall for the American women in team sports. The women's basketball team joined the women's soccer team and the softball team as gold medalists. As usual, our men did not medal in soccer, and our baseball team did not even qualify for the Olympic tournament. In other news, our men's basketball team did rally to win the bronze medal, avoiding the dubious distinction of becoming the only American team to fail to win any medal.
