*Jamaica's Usain Bolt snatched a gold medal and the title of World's Fastest Man Saturday night after smoking competition in the 100-meter dash, including his teammate and former Fastest Man, Asafa Powell. Bolt ran 100 meters in a staggering 9.69 seconds, even as he eased up near the finish line to raise his arms and pound his chest. He bested his own world record mark of 9.72 seconds, which he set in New York just two months ago. Earlier in the night, the race lost some competitive heat when Tyson Gay failed to qualify after a disappointing semifinal. USA's Walter Dix of Tallahassee, Fla., won bronze with a personal best of 9.91 seconds. Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago came in second.
*Venus and Serena Williams won the Olympic gold medal in women�s doubles on Sunday, beating Spain's Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual, 6-2, 6-0 in the final round. Seeded second, the sisters improved their Olympic record to 10-0 and earned their second gold medal. The Williamses won the doubles event at the Sydney Games but didn�t play Athens because Serena was hurt.
*James Blake lost a controversial semi-final match to Chile's Frenando Gonzalez Friday 4-6, 7-5, 11-9. Blake accused his competitor of failing to admit that he touched a ball that had gone out of bounds. With Gonzalez serving at 8-9 in the final set, Blake hit a backhand passing shot long but contended the ball ticked Gonzalez's racket before landing, as TV replays confirmed. Blake appealed in vain to the chair umpire, and said Gonzalez should have conceded the point. Blake went on to lose the game to make it 9-all. Gonzalez said he was uncertain whether the ball hit his racket. "I didn't feel anything," Gonzalez said. "I mean, it's just one point. There is an umpire. If I'm 100 percent sure about it, I mean, I will give it. But I'm not sure."
*The USA men's and women's basketball teams each cruised to victory over the weekend in preliminary round games. The men beat Spain 119-82 Saturday night in its widest margin of victory yet, while the ladies rocked New Zealand 96-60 on Sunday night at Wukesong Arena in Beijing. The victory gave the men's team a No. 1 seed in Group A for the medal round quarterfinals, regardless of the outcome of today's final preliminary game against Germany at 8 p.m. (8 a.m. EDT this morning on USA, USA HD). The women emerged from Group B with the No. 1 seed, and opens medal round quarterfinal play tomorrow (Aug. 19) at 8:00 p.m. (8:00 a.m. EDT on USA, USA HD) against South Korea (2-3), the No. 4 seed from Group A.
