Her looks can deceive you. This Pretty, sweet and demure young lady from New Zealand can actually beat you in a BMX Bike race. Her jumps on the asphalt race track is nearly as perfect. Sarah Walker is only 19 and was already a big 2008 Olympics fan favorite in the first ever BMX Racing in Olympics.
She went into the Olympics BMX Race Finals very strongly, however, finished 4th place in the final run. French duo Anne-Caroline Chausson and Laetitia le Corguille grabbed the Gold and Silver medals respectively, while Jill Kintner of
the United States, far-off from Sarah’s league, came in third.
Still Sarah, young as she is, have a bright future with her game. She won many races before and we hope to see her again in the next Olympics in London and bring home the Gold. To know more about Sarah Walker, check out her website (not so sure if its hers but its an interesting site).

The US “Redeem Team” won the Gold against Spain 118-107 in the 2008 Olympics Men’s Basketball at the Olympics Basketball Arena in Beijing China with an attendance of11,083 crowds mostly cheering for Kobe Bryant and the US Basketball Team.
The US Olympics Basketball “Redeem Team” is seen as driven as ever in clinching the Men’s Basketball Gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It was the Guards who perhaps made the difference this time, amid the towering Centers like Yao Ming of China and Pau Gasol of Spain. Chris Paul said they have an unfinished business - and winning the Gold is their business, after failing to win the Gold in the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points Friday against the defending champion Argentina thus avenging their loss during the 2004 Olympics.
Earlier in the first game Sunday, 14th of August 2008, Argentina made a killing out of the Lithuanian Men’s Basketball Squad who defeated them during the first round in a stunning win by Team Lithuania. Argentina won the Bronze Medal with its 87-75 win against Lithuania.
Currently, Team USA is playing against Spain for the GOLD - so standby and check back for live updates.
