The United States faired well at the recent Olympic Games held in Beijing, China. Rhonda Rousey won a bronze medal in her category, making her the first U.S. woman to win a judo medal in the Olympic games since it became a full medal sport. Several other U.S. athletes finished ninth. For the first time competition was available for viewing on the internet either streamed live or recorded.
