BEIJING 2008: UNITED STATES BEATS SPAIN 107-118 TAKES GOLD
Yes, the U.S. is back atop the basketball world.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and Kobe Bryant added 20, including 13 in the final quarter, to guide the United States to a 118-107 win over a depleted, but enthusiastic, Spain squad in the gold medal game.
"This feels great," said Wade. "We haven't won gold in eight years. A lot of people doubted that NBA stars could play together."
Before Sunday the most points the U.S. men allowed in an Olympic game was 96, and that was an eight-point win over Lithuania in the bronze medal game four years ago.
Despite the defensive woes, the offense was spectacular for Mike Krzyzewski's team, going 13-of-28 from three-point range and shooting 60 percent overall.
"After I got into foul trouble early, I played a little cautious," said Bryant. "But in the fourth quarter, Coach K told me to let that momma loose, and that's what I tried to do."
Rudy Fernandez had 22 points and Pau Gasol 21 for Spain, which was within four points late in the final quarter.
The U.S. beat Spain, 119-82, in pool play, but despite the loss of guard Jose Calderon (groin), the Spanish team hung with the team chock full of NBA All- Stars and nearly pulled an incredible upset.
Since the introduction of the Dream Team in 1992, the U.S. had won every gold medal in men's basketball until the bump in the road in Athens four years ago. Then came a bronze finish at the 2006 world championships. Sunday though brought redemption. タグ:olympicsgamesbasketballusavs 投稿日: August 25, 2008, 4:57 am 閲覧数: 69743 投票: 3.70(５点満点) 54 人の平均

Janos Baranyai was trying to snatch 148kg(326lbs.) in his third lift in the men's 77-kg division, when his elbow popped out of socket.
No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain.

China's economy is expanding at an astounding rate - but its waistlines are too.
The food of the streets tells the story of a culture torn between tradition and modernity, the customs of an ancient past competing with the convenience age of the new. What will survive and what will be lost? In a China which has gone within two generations from mass starvation to mass obesity, what does the future hold? タグ:chinastreetfoodpricesobesity 投稿日: July 14, 2008, 5:01 pm 閲覧数: 29271 投票: 4.80(５点満点) 66 人の平均
