Gold Medalists Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh Are Not Invincible

Brian Ethridge — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:48:46 +0000

Olympic beach volleyball champions Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh actually lost a match on Sunday afternoon ending their 112-Match Win streak.

After the game it was obvious the duo wasn’t focused during the match.

“I can’t tell you what day it is right now,” May-Treanor said. “I’m tired. It would be nice if this were the last tournament. Kerri and I have a lot going on. It’s tough to focus just on volleyball right now. But that’s what we do.”

Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh have been so great for so long it’s time for them to take a well deserved break from volleyball. They have nothing left to prove and they’ve already accomplished more than anyone could have ever hoped for.

Relax ladies, your the champs. Take some time off and enjoy it.

Brian Ethridge — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 05:58:18 +0000

The United States men’s basketball team won their first gold medal since the 2000 Sydney Olympics by defeating Spain 118-107.

“Much respect to Spain, but the U.S. is back on top again,” LeBron James said

With less than 2 1/2 minutes left to play in the game the Americans only held a 4-point lead over Spain but in the final 2 minutes the USA fought hard for the victory.

“I know that we had a tough road ahead of us. We knew that these guys weren’t going to roll over and give up that easily,” U.S. forward Chris Bosh said. “So we had to be men, and that’s what it takes to win.”

U.S. head coach Mike Krzyzewski deserves most of the credit for putting together a good team with great chemistry.

U.S. Beats Argentina in Olympic Semifinals

Brian Ethridge — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 05:04:55 +0000

The United States men’s basketball team will face Spain on Sunday for the Olympic gold medal after defeating Argentina in the semifinals 101-81.

“We had a great game against them in pool play, but pool play does not win a gold medal,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It just gets you into the medal round. We expect the same type of heart of a champion that we played against tonight in Argentina.”

With their success so far in the olympics, the U.S. squad is very confident.

“We still have one more test to go, but I think our team is extremely confident,” point guard Chris Paul said.

Hopefully they’re not over-confident because even though the Americans destroyed Spain in pool play by 37 points, this time Spain will be more prepared and ready for the the dominant U.S. team.
