LISA LESLIE, WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

The U.S. Women’s Olympic Basketball Team owns a record five gold medals, one silver and one bronze at the Olympics, while compiling a 42-3 (.933) record in seven Olympic appearances (the United States chose not to participate in the 1980 Olympic Games that were held in Moscow). The only other nation to break into the gold medal column in the Olympics is the Soviet Union/Unified Team. The Soviets won the first Olympic gold medal in 1976, took the 1980 gold and again won as the Unified Team in 1992.

Led this year by 4-time Olympian Lisa Leslie and a host of stars from the WNBA, including Diana Taurasi, Tina Thompson and Candace Parker, Team USA looks well-positioned to bring home the gold once again.
