Today in Sports - U.S. Women's Basketball Team wins 13th Olympic Gold Medal

Today in Sports lists a sequence of notable achievements and events across multiple years, including U.S. women’s basketball’s Olympic gold. Earlier entries note Malcolm Whitman winning the men’s singles title at the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association championship (date not specified in the excerpt), and 1926’s Molla Bjurstedt Mallory capturing her seventh singles title. In 1975, Classical Way wins the trotting Challenge Cup in 3:07.1 at Roosevelt Raceway. The list also recalls Denis Pankratov’s 52.32-second men’s 100-meter butterfly world record in Vienna (1995) and the U.S. softball team’s 5-1 gold-medal win over Australia in 2004. It highlights the 92-65 U.S. women’s basketball gold at Beijing in 2008, plus several other sports milestones afterward.
