Sheriff Roland:
Big disappointment this morning in woman's basketball.

After trailing the #2 seeded Russians for the first five minutes of the game, Canada (ranked 10th) came back to build a 12 point lead, reduced to 7 by the end of the first quarter. They continued to lead even rebuilding a 10 point lead at the start of the 4th quarter. Then the Russians poured it on and with about 3 minutes left, the game was tied and the final score showed a 5 point victory for the Russian women.  :(

Guess it's true - what Jed Bartlet said ... "The (basketball) game is decided in the last two minutes".

Sheriff Roland:
The women's soccer team (ranked 6th) lost to Japan (ranked 1st) by a score of 2-1 in their first divisional match. At the beginning of the current game, the pundits were saying they needed to beat the South Africans by 3 points in case they end up tied for third.

Guess what - The Canadian woman's soccer team won 3-0 against the South Africans.

Neither the basketball team nor the soccer team are expected to medal (the men haven't even qualified), but it's nice to see them outperform.

I can't remember: How far "ahead" of the U.S. east coast is London, 4 hours or 6 hours?  ???
