The United States won the gold medal in Olympic men's basketball Sunday with a 118-107 victory over Spain. The Americans won their first gold medal since the 2000 Olympics, but not without a fight. They led by just four points with less than 2 1/2 minutes remaining before pulling away to beat the same team they handled by 37 points in pool play. Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and Kobe Bryant added 20 for the Americans.
The U.S. men's volleyball team has won the Olympic gold medal, completing a perfect run in the tournament by beating defending champion Brazil. The Americans captured their third gold medal in the sport. They won Sunday's final by scores of 20-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-23. Brazil, the top-ranked team and two-time gold medalists, settled for the silver. Russia took the bronze.
Carlos Delfino had 20 points and 10 rebounds as Argentina won the bronze medal in men's basketball with an 87-75 win against Lithuania. Luis Scola added 16 points on Sunday and Andres Nocioni had 14 for Argentina, which won the gold medal in 2004. It's the first time the Argentines have won back-to-back Olympic medals.
Hungary has won a third consecutive gold medal in men's water polo. Daniel Rudolf Varga and Peter Biros scored three goals apiece and the Hungarians beat the United States 14-10 in the final Sunday.
Samuel Wanjiru already had made a name for himself in the heady world of Kenyan distance running. Now he's made history.

Saturday, August 23rd
Lisa Leslie and the U.S. women's basketball team were once again too good for Australia at the Olympics. Leslie capped off her illustrious Olympic career with a fourth straight gold medal scoring 14 points in a 92-65 victory against Australia on Saturday night.
In a pair of races that brought some redemption after a disappointing Olympics for the U.S. track and field team, Wariner, Richards and Allyson Felix led a sweep of the 1,600-meter relays Saturday, an event that might as well have been designed to bolster the country's gold-medal count.
Brazil has won its first gold medal in women's volleyball, ending the United States' dramatic run. Brazil defeated the Americans three sets to one, to complete the Olympic tournament undefeated.
South Korea captured the gold medal and capped a perfect and improbable Olympic run with the country's biggest win yet in international baseball, a 3-2 victory over defending champion Cuba on Saturday night in the championship of the Beijing Games.
Angel di Maria provided the finish to another piece of magic from Lionel Messi, helping Argentina defeat Nigeria 1-0 for its second straight gold medal in Olympic soccer.
Russia has won the team event and swept both gold medals in synchronized swimming for the third consecutive Olympics. Russia finished with a combined 99.500 points after Saturday's free routine. Spain took the silver with 98.251 points, and China claimed the bronze with 97.334.
The Americans celebrated modestly in the middle of the diamond with hugs, handshakes and high-fives. The U.S. baseball team had to settle for bronze, certainly not the medal color it had planned to bring home.

Usain Bolt helped Jamaica win the 400-meter relay final in 37.10 seconds Friday night for his third gold medal and third world record of the Olympics. Bolt ran the third leg of the relay, then handed the baton to former 100-meter world record-holder Asafa Powell.
The climb back to the top is nearly complete. One more win and U.S. basketball is golden again. The Americans ended their streak of final four flops and Argentina's hopes of an Olympic gold-medal repeat, starting fast and finishing strong in a 101-81 semifinal victory Friday.
Bryan Clay has won the decathlon at the Beijing Games, the first American man to win the 10-discipline event at the Olympics since 1996. The 2004 Olympic silver medalist and 2005 world champion, Clay finished with 8,791 points, including 522 in the 1,500 meters late Friday.
Pau Gasol had 19 points as Spain defeated Lithuania 91-86 on Friday night to advance to the Olympic gold medal game for the first time since 1984.

World champion Maris Strombergs of Latvia won the men's gold, sweeping to the front at the start of the winner-take-all final and never losing control. The French duo of Anne-Caroline Chausson and Laetitia Le Corguille took gold and silver, respectively, in the women's title race, where Kintner rallied from far back in the pack to win her medal.
Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser have completed the American sweep of the beach volleyball gold medals, beating Brazil in three sets. A day after Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor weathered a driving rainstorm to win their second straight gold, the men won their Olympic debuts on Friday in more typical beach weather.

Thursday, August 21st
They came to the Beijing Olympics as a team trying to find its way, still adjusting to a new coach and each other, still smarting from a loss that brought humiliation on and off the field. On Thursday night, the U.S. women's soccer team stood as one, Olympic gold medals around their necks, champions once again.
Diana Taurasi had 21 points and the U.S. women's basketball team beat Russia 67-52 Thursday to advance to their fourth straight Olympic gold medal game. The Americans will face either Australia or China on Saturday as they try to win a fourth straight gold.
LaShawn Merritt has upset defending champion Jeremy Wariner to lead a U.S. sweep of the medals in the 400 meters at the Olympics. Merritt pulled away down the stretch Thursday night to win in 43.75 seconds -- nearly a full second ahead of silver medalist Wariner, who finished in 44.74.
The U.S. Olympic softball team was denied a fourth straight gold medal, losing 3-1 on Thursday to Japan in the sport's final appearance in the games for at least eight years. The Americans' 22-game Olympic winning streak was snapped as Japan pitcher Yukiko Ueno handed them their first loss since Sept. 21, 2000 at Sydney.
It was Jamaica Night again at the Bird's Nest, this time with Veronica Campbell-Brown doing the honors, easily winning the 200 meters Thursday to cap the first sweep of all four men's and women's Olympic sprints in 20 years.
The Netherlands has won the gold medal in women's water polo, stunning the United States 9-8 behind seven goals by Danielle de Bruijn. She scored the winner with 26 seconds remaining.
The U.S. women's volleyball team has advanced to the gold medal game, defeating Cuba in three sets to guarantee the Americans their best Olympic finish since 1984.
Wang Chen of the U.S. has lost her quarterfinal match in the Olympic table tennis singles competition, bringing an end to the Americans' best showing ever in the sport. Previously, the best finish for the U.S. was when Gao Jun reached the round of 32 in singles and doubles at the Athens Games.
Americans Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor have won their second consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball, playing through a steady rain to beat Wang Jie and Tian Jia of China 21-18, 21-18.

The U.S. men's volleyball team remained unbeaten in Beijing by defeating Japan in three sets to wrap up preliminary pool play. With the 25-18, 25-12, 25-21 win Monday, the U.S. team finishes atop its pool with five wins in advance of the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
The American track team was in bad need of a comeback, and Angelo Taylor was the perfect person to provide it. Taylor, a once-troubled 29-year-old who was laying electrical wire 14 months ago, became the first 400-meter hurdler since Edwin Moses to win gold medals eight years apart Monday.
Considered a field filler more than a medal contender, Stephanie Brown Trafton threw the discus 212 feet, 5 inches (64.74 meters) on her very first attempt -- a throw that held up.
China has defeated Germany 3-0 to win the gold medal in the men's team table tennis event. Led by Wang Hao, the world's top player, the Chinese team of former Olympic medalists dominated throughout the contest to secure China's second table tennis gold in as many days.
China's He Kexin has won a tiebreaker over all-around champion Nastia Liukin of the United States for the uneven bars gold medal Monday at the Beijing Olympics. Both scored 16.725, but He got the nod.
Chen Yibing has extended China's perfect run of gold in men's gymnastics by winning the still rings competition. The two-time world champion was perfectly still on nearly every move Monday and blew away the field of eight. China has won all five men's events at the Beijing Olympics.
This was a moment, shortly before lunchtime Monday, that Liu's country of 1.3 billion had anticipated for years: China's only track and field superstar -- one of China's most recognizable faces period -- competing to defend his 110-meter hurdles title at home. And it ended after all of two full strides.
Olympic 100-meter champion Usain Bolt has advanced to the second round of qualifying in the 200 meters. The Jamaican didn't win his first-round 200 heat Monday morning, taking it easy and finishing second to Rondell Sorillo of Trinidad and Tobago. The top three runners in each heat advance.
Reigning Olympic and world champion Jeremy Wariner and rival LaShawn Merritt have qualified for the Olympic semifinals at 400 meters. Both built big leads and were able to jog home to win their respective heats Monday morning. Wariner won the last of seven heats in 45.23 seconds, while Merritt led the fifth heat in 44.96.

Sunday, August 17th
In the men's 1,500, the American success story of Bernard Lagat, Leo Manzano and U.S. team flagbearer Lopez Lomong -- all naturalized citizens competing for their new country for the first time at the Olympics -- came to a sudden halt. All three failed to advance to the final.
Shelly-Ann Fraser completed a gold-medal Jamaican sweep of the 100-meter dashes at the Olympics on Sunday, winning the women's race in 10.78 seconds. Teammates Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart tied for second.
Romania's Sandra Izbasa grabbed the gold medal on floor away from world champion Shawn Johnson at the Beijing Olympics on Sunday night. All-around champ Nastia Liukin took bronze, giving the United States two medals in the event and its women's team five total medals.
The Chinese men can't lose in Olympic gymnastics. Zou Kai, a gold medalist in the men's team event, won the floor exercise Sunday night, giving China three wins in as many attempts. Gervasio Deferr of Spain took the silver with a powerful series of somersaults and twists, then threw kisses to the crowd. Russia's Anton Golotsutskov got the bronze.
Venus and Serena Williams of the United States have won the Olympic gold medal in women's doubles. The Williamses beat the Spanish duo Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual, 6-2, 6-0 in Sunday's final.
Rafael Nadal will become No. 1 in the rankings Monday, and he is No. 1 at the Olympics. The Spaniard won a gold medal Sunday, overcoming two set points in the second set and holding every service game to beat Fernando Gonzalez of Chile.
Double-faults have long been a problem for Elena Dementieva. In the Olympic final, they were her friend. Taking advantage of 17 double-faults by fellow Russian Dinara Safina, Dementieva won the singles gold medal in women's tennis Sunday at the Olympics, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.
Michael Phelps won his record eighth gold medal Sunday at the Beijing Olympics as a member of the victorious U.S. 400-meter medley relay team, breaking a tie with Mark Spitz for most golds in a single games.
Britta Steffen of Germany has defeated 41-year-old American Dara Torres by 0.01 seconds to win the women's 50-meter freestyle at the Beijing Olympics.
Romania's Constantina Tomescu-Dita soared into the Bird's Nest, turning the Olympic marathon into a one-woman race. Tomescu-Dita pulled away from the lead pack near the halfway mark Sunday to win by 22 seconds over her nearest challenger.
Athens gold medalists Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor are in the beach volleyball semifinals, beating Brazilians Ana Paula and Larissa 21-18, 21-15 on Sunday for their 106th consecutive victory.

Saturday, August 16th
Roger Federer added a gold medal to his extensive trophy collection by teaming with Stanislas Wawrinka to win the Olympic doubles Saturday.
Imagine if he had really tried. Pounding his chest, turning up the palms of his outstretched arms, mugging for the cameras before he even crossed the finish line, Usain Bolt rewrote the record books again and captured his first Olympic medal Saturday, running the 100-meter dash in a stunning 9.69 seconds.
Unleashing a lethal 3-point barrage for the first time in Beijing, the Americans turned the marquee matchup of the preliminary round into another romp, beating Spain 119-82 Saturday night to clinch the top seed in their group.
Yao Ming scored 25 points to lead China to a dramatic 59-55 win over Germany on Saturday, keeping China's hopes alive in the men's Olympic basketball competition.

The Williamses advanced Saturday to the doubles final by beating another sibling pair, Ukraine's Alona and Kateryna Bondarenko, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. Venus and Serena improved to 9-0 lifetime in Olympic doubles.
The U.S. men's volleyball coach has returned to his team, and the Americans responded by defeating China in three sets. Coach Hugh McCutcheon missed three games following an attack on his in-laws, who were visiting a Beijing tourist site.
Michael Phelps beat Milorad Cavic of Serbia to the wall to win the 100-meter butterfly Friday, tying Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics.

Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe defended her Olympic title in the 200-meter backstroke, winning in a world-record time. She led all the way Saturday morning, touching in 2 minutes, 5.24 seconds, lowering the mark of 2:06.09 set by Margaret Hoelzer at the U.S. trials last month.
