Even though most of you probably heard something about this, I'm posting it anyways:
In a stunning upset victory, the Japanese softball team claimed their first ever gold medal in the sport, claiming it in the last year of competition for the time being.
The 3-1 game ended the USA's 22 game winning streak, which was their first loss after the 2000 Sydney Games. The USA softball team, notorious for pounding their competition into the dirt, was severely shaken at the loss. A pitching ace for Japan, coupled with a few minor slip-ups, was what lead to their downfall.
Yeah... softball. Whoo.[/sarcasm]
