WNBA Women Get Gold

The USA Women's Olympic Basketball Team, comprised of course of WNBA players, won the Gold medal at the Olympics a couple of days ago, defeating the Australian team easily.

Frankly, although I'm glad the Americans won, of course, I wish the Aussies had given us a better game.

But, despite the fact that they lost by double digits, that doesn't mean they are necessarily an easy win all the time.

It's the format of the Olympics that the winner of one game takes it all, and so its whoever's best on the night, and the US women had the better nerves that night, and may well have been the better team.

But it's impossible to really know unless they play 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4. Obviously, there's no way they can do that, but I just don't like all the gloating being done on the Summitt, because of one win. (Yeah, I check out the Summitt - the Lady Vols message board - on a regular basis. A bastion of poor sportsmanship.)
