It's the last Saturday of the Olympics, so I decided to make the most of it.

The highlight of the day would have to be watching the women's basketball team win its fourth consecutive gold medal. Lisa Leslie led each of these teams, and this is likely her last Olympic appearance. She even brought her previous medals to Beijing, so her newest one was in good company.

Also on today's agenda: boxing, flat canoeing, women's volleyball (we won the silver medal against top-ranked Brazil), individual rhythmic gymnastics and the men's marathon.

The one thing I don't love is the fact that the men's basketball final is at the East Coast equivalent of 2:30 a.m. But, since it is such a high-profile game, it will be shown live. The same can't be said about the men's water polo final or the Closing Ceremony.

But, it'll all be over by the time I have to go to bed tomorrow night, so I'll quit the complaining for now and just enjoy it while I still can.
