On Final Day, U.S. Gets Second Medal
Germany put the finishing touches Friday on its second Olympic Soling gold medal, sweeping Russia in three races -- none of them close -- in the
championship match. The U.S. team of Jeff Madrigali, Jim Barton and Kent Massey defeated Britain, 3-1, for the bronze. It was only the second yachting medal of these Games for the Americans.

"Biting bugs, uncharted mudflats, sweltering heat and humidity and staggering logistical challenges all await the world's 500 or so top competitors.
