Top Athletes

Abby Wambach, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, Soccer, Team USA

Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe blazed the comeback trail for Team USA in its thrilling semifinal victory over Northern rival Canada.

Rapinoe notched two equalizers for the Americans in the 54th and 70th minute on two very impressive finishes.  Wambach scored a crucial goal on a penalty shot in the 80th minute to pull her team even once again. Morgan, the newest American darling, found the back of the net in the final seconds of stoppage time to give the United States the win.

Team USA will meet Japan in the gold medal match. The Japanese beat the Americans in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, so now would be the best time for Pia Sundhage's side to exact revenge.

Maggie Steffens, Women's Water Polo, Team USA

Maggie Steffens leads the United States women's water polo team into the gold medal match against Spain. She also leads the entire tournament with 16 goals on 22 shots. That makes for an incredible efficiency percentage of 72.7.

Nobody on Team USA has even half as many goals as Steffens, as she has been the focal point of the American offense through the first five matches in London.

She is the best the United States has to offer, so her performance will be indicative of the result.

Nicola Adams, Women's Boxing, Great Britain

Hometown favorite Nicola Adams is out to make her country proud when she meets China's Ren Cancan in the 51kg gold medal match on Thursday.

Adams had a relatively easy time getting to this point. She beat her quarterfinal opponent, Bulgaria's Stoyka Petrova, 16-7, then beat Indonesia's Chungneijang Mery Kom Hmangte 11-6 in the semifinal.

This is the first time that women's boxing has been featured in the Olympic Games, and Adams has done well to prove she belongs. She can add to her legacy with a solid showing in the gold medal match.
