OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

Finally, a clean confession! After a series of denials from Australia’s coach about looking ahead to the finals, team member Jackson who scored 16 points in the game, spelt it out later after winning “It was a crucial win because we want to meet Team USA in the final”.

Opals, who were trailing by 16 points during the game’s half, were clicked on in the 3^rd part, out-scoring the Russians 30 to 10, and regaining the lead in a match which identification card was: experience and coolness.

Aussies, who pushed away the Russian train off the scoring banister via crucial defending, knew that despite the game’s significance, a win against Russia was an emotional click, and an internal need. The world champions once again prove domination, and are clearly betting to meet the US women in a final game here in Beijing!
