Trojans Lisa Leslie and Tina Thompson Brings Home Gold for Team USA and USC
Truly golden, Lisa Leslie helped USA women to a gold medal, while earning an unprecedented 4th gold medal herself.
From the New York Times: U.S. Women’s Basketball Breezes Past Australia to Win Gold.
Teammate and fellow Trojan alumnus, Tina Thompson was an alternate for the 2000 Olympic squad. Thompson was named to the '98 and 2002 USA World Championship teams, but injuries kept her from both competitions. She earned her first gold medal in 2004 in Greece.
Leslie and Thompson are the 17th and 18th Trojans to medal at the Beijing Olympics.
