Rough Olympic news to start the day. The
U.S. softball team, who looked completely unbeatable ever since softball became an Olympic sport,
lost in the finals to
Japan. Moreover, the
women's water polo team lost to the Netherlands despite being favored. To top it all off, the
men's 4x100m relay team dropped the baton. At least
Misty May-Treanor and
Kerri Walsh prevailed over China in the women's beach volleyball final. Still ... Ouch.
At least, "ouch" in the sense that as a sports superpower losing at all is unexpected. But maybe there's even more disappointment on the way.
The U.S. women's basketball team was only up one point at halftime and the U.S.-Brazil women's soccer final just got underway. Losing to Russia in hoops would be a huge shock. Brazil may in fact be the better team on the soccer pitch. Should be some exciting finishes.
