Saturday, 8/14/12
Men's Boxing 91kg
Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine won the heavyweight gold medal in the Olympic boxing tournament on Saturday night, edging Italy's Clemente Russo 14-11.
Usyk is just the third Olympic boxing gold medalist in Ukraine's history, joining Wladimir Klitschko and Vasyl Lomachenko.
Usyk broke open an even bout heading to the third round, punishing Russo with big shots. The 6-foot-3 Ukrainian bruiser then put on an astonishingly nimble dancing display to celebrate his win in the center of the ring.
The Ukrainian team will lead the Olympic field with five boxing medals. Lomachenko will fight for his second Olympic gold Sunday.
Russo won his second straight Olympic silver medal.
Men's Taekwondo
Carlo Molfetta of Italy won the Olympic taekwondo gold medal in the men's heavyweight division Saturday.
Molfetta was awarded the victory by decision after he and Anthony Obame of Gabon fought a tense final that was still tied after an overtime round. Obame's silver is Gabon's first Olympic medal.
The 28-year-old Molfetta is a police officer in Rome and has twice won silver at the world championships. He fought strategically on Saturday, jumping to land head kicks on his taller opponents and ducking out of the way before counter-attacking others.
The bronze medals were won by Robelis Despaigne of Cuba and Liu Xiaobo of China.
Women's Basketball
Candace Parker scored 21 points and the heavily favored U.S. women's basketball team won their fifth straight gold medal with an 86-50 victory over France on Saturday night.
The win was the latest in an unmatched run the Americans have been on over the past 16 years. The U.S. has now won 41 consecutive games in the Olympic competition since taking the bronze medal in 1992.
The Americans haven't just been winning, they've been blowing past opponents.
Only one team has come within single digits of them since the streak began in 1996. They've won by nearly 30 points a game. The U.S. has only lost once in major international competitions since the Atlanta Games - the lone blemish coming against Russia in the semifinals of the 2006 world championship.
Men's Boxing Middleweight
Ryota Murata of Japan wins Olympic boxing gold in men's middleweight.
Men's Diving 10m Platform
David Boudia of the United States wins Olympic diving gold medal in men's 10-meter platform.

Germany defeated the Netherlands 2-1 Saturday to win its second straight Olympic field hockey title and spoil a bid for a Dutch double in the sport.
Men's Boxing Light Welter
Light welterweight Roniel Iglesias of Cuba won the gold medal in the Olympic boxing tournament Saturday night, outboxing tough Ukrainian challenger Denys Berinchyk for a 22-15 victory.
Iglesias is Cuba's first boxing gold medalist in London after the traditional amateur power failed to win a gold in Beijing. Iglesias was a silver medalist in 2008, but returned with a stellar run through the 2012 tournament.
Berinchyk fell just short of winning the third boxing gold medal in Ukraine's Olympic history, although his team will lead the London Olympics with five medals.
Women's Handball
Norway wins Olympic gold medal in women's team handball.
Men's 4x100m Relay
Usain Bolt gets 3rd gold of London Olympics as Jamaica wins 4x100, sets world record.
Women's 4x400m Relay
Allyson Felix won her third gold medal of the London Olympics, giving the United States a 20-meter lead after the second leg of the 4x400-meter relay and then watching teammate Sanya Richards-Ross bring home the victory Saturday night.
The U.S. runners finished in 3 minutes, 16.87 seconds for the country's fifth straight Olympic title in the event. Russia finished second in 3:20.23 and Jamaica was third in 3:20.95.
DeeDee Trotter ran the opening leg for the United States and built a lead before handing to Felix, who more than doubled the advantage by the time she passed to Francena McCorory.
Richards-Ross had a stress-free anchor leg to add this gold medal to her 400-meter gold. Felix earlier won the 200 and 4x100 relay.
Men's Bantam
Luke Campbell of Britain won the bantamweight gold medal in the Olympic boxing tournament Saturday night, knocking down John Joe Nevin of Ireland midway through the third round of a 14-11 victory.
Campbell won the rubber match with Nevin, his friendly local rival. Nevin beat Campbell soundly in their first meeting three years ago, but Campbell edged Nevin on a tiebreaker at the world championships last year.
Nevin, a two-time Olympian who knocked off world champion Lazaro Alvarez of Cuba, fell just short of winning Ireland's second men's boxing gold medal - and just the 10th gold medal in Ireland's Olympic history.

Oleksandr Pyantnytsya of Ukraine was second with a throw of 84.51 and Antti Ruuskanen of Finland took third.

Men's Soccer
Oribe Peralta scored only 29 seconds into the Olympic final and added another goal in the second half to help Mexico upset Brazil 2-1 and win its first soccer gold Saturday.
Peralta took advantage of a mistake by the Brazilian defense in one of the game's first plays and shot a low right-footed shot into the net, scoring the fastest Olympic goal since FIFA began keeping records of the competition in 1976.
The striker added the second with a firm header off a free kick in the 75th.
Hulk scored for Brazil in injury time, but it was too late for a come back.
Brazil, the big favorite heading into the tournament, was also trying to win its first gold, which is the only soccer trophy the five-time world champions haven't won.
Women's Mountain Biking
Julie Bresset of France won the mountain bike gold medal in her first Olympics, rolling through the English countryside and waving her country's flag as she finished.
Bresset dominated the picturesque course at Hadleigh Farm on Saturday. She seized the early lead, then took advantage of a mistake by defending champion Sabine Spitz of Germany to build a massive lead.
Spitz wound up with the silver medal, and Georgia Gould of the United States claimed bronze.
Gymnastics Individual All-Around
Evgeniya Kanaeva defended her Olympic gold medal in historic fashion.
The Russian became the first rhythmic gymnast to win two individual all-around titles Saturday. It caps off a spectacular four-year run for Kanaeva, who has also won the last three world titles. A Russian has now won the last four all-around titles.
Kanaeva had the highest score on all four events, finishing with a total of 116.90.
Daria Dmitrieva won the silver medal - not bad for someone who wasn't even supposed to be at the London Olympics. The 19-year-old was added to the Russian roster earlier this month after Alexandra Merkulova got hurt. Liubou Charkashnya of Belarus won the bronze medal.
Men's 50Km Race Walk
Sergei Kirdyapkin of Russia has won the gold medal in the 50-kilometer race walk at the London Games. He did it in 3 hours, 35 minutes, 59 seconds, breaking the Olympic record by more than a minute.
Kirdyapkin finished 54 seconds ahead of Jared Tallent of Australia.

Saul Craviotto Rivero of Spain won the silver medal, a quarter-length behind. Mark de Jonge of Canada took the bronze.
Women's Canoe Sprint 200m K-1
