For this U.S. women’s basketball Olympic run, stop arguing and savor what we have

New York Times  

PARIS — They played poorly in the first half against Nigeria. This is life for the U.S. women’s national basketball team, which won its 59th consecutive Olympic game Wednesday, handling Nigeria 88-74 to advance to Friday’s semifinals, when they’ll play Australia. This year’s U.S. women are two wins away from an eighth straight Olympic gold medal, a streak that began with the “Dream On” team in Atlanta in 1996. And South Korea’s women’s archery team won its 10th straight Olympic gold medal here, a 36-year streak dating back to to the 1988 Games in Seoul, the sport’s Olympic debut. Australia’s golden era behind Naismith Hall of Famer Lauren Jackson produced the World Cup gold medal in 2006 and three straight Olympic silver medals from 2000-2008.
