FOX Sports on MSN - Olympics - U.S. women roll to fourth straight hoops gold


Congratulations to the U.S women for winning there fourth straight gold medal in womens basketball. I knew they would dominate the competetion just like they did.



"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." Babe Ruth

Is it true to say that America are the only country to take basketball seriously?

Nevertheless congratulations to them for an amazing acheivement.


I'm in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts.
Cause I don't care if I lose my mind, I'm already cursed.

They always did, it's onlt getting better now. i'm just suprised they didn't make it to the Olympics. Anyways if you're talking about a Non-American to take basketball seriously I'm suprised you didn't mention Lithuania. Since the days of the USSR Lithuanians formed the core of the Soviet teams, not to mention they have reached the olympic semi final for basketball 5 straight times, since becoming a country that is.

it being the only sport the country was ever good at.
