Good sportsmanship!

Since a couple of you think I only bitch about bad American sportsmanship I'll give you some good ones!
- The winner of 200 meter sprint Shawn Crawford and the other two that completed the sweep were very gracious after the audience's booing (which was not really directed at them but at not being able to watch the Greek reigning champion. The way they celebrated and the comments made afterwards were extremely gracious.
- The women's basketball team. Great final game, and great sportsmanship shown between the Australian and American team. Not to mention how the American women came out and entertained the audience during the jersey crap before the men's game.
- USA - Cuba semi-final wrestling men. Good sportsmanship shown from both sides there.
These all examplifies what the Olympics should be all about.
