Extractions: Softball Competition Guide The lure of Olympic medal glory in softball's history-making debut at the Atlanta Games was the driving force behind Nicole Richardson's international sporting choice. Once her name was inked onto softball's Olympic team list, the juggling of two international careers was over. Australian squad selection in netball was put on hold. Richardson and her Australian teammates are pursuing an achievable sporting dream - winning an Olympic medal. Bouyed by a world ranking of Number three behind the United States and China, Australia is now considered a powerhouse in women's softball and a definite medal contender. Their bronze medal performance at the 1994 World titles in Canada became the launching pad for national coach Bob Crudgington to finetune a medal-winning combination for the Atlanta Games. Australia's greatest nemesis is World Champion and gold medal favorites, the United States, which has dominated the sport for the past decade. The gap between the countries is narrowing, but Australia hasn't defeated the host nation since the early 1980s.

Extractions: The USA are the team to beat Softball was born when baseball players decided to play their sport out of season and took it indoors towards the end of the 19th century. Slight changes were made and the game has evolved into one of the most popular world-wide sports. Softball's international federation estimates there are more than 50 million registered players around the world. It is rare in the sporting sphere in that men and women can compete on the same side in any of the game's three forms - fast-pitch, slow-pitch and 16-inch slow-pitch. With women unable to take part in the Olympic baseball competition, softball was introduced at the 1996 games in Atlanta in its fast-pitch guise despite never having been played as a demonstration sport. Cynics suggested it was simply to guarantee the USA yet another gold medal and they have not been disappointed.

Both of those statements came true during the 2004 Olympic Games. The performance by the U.S. Olympic Softball Team will go down in history as one of the most dominant ever. The U.S. squad led by Candrea is certainly the best women's softball team ever assembled and possibly the most dominant Olympic team of any sport. With its perfect 9-0 record and its string of eight consecutive shutouts, this team proved it was indeed something 'Special'. Just a month prior to the opening of the Olympic Games, the USA Softball family lost someone very special when Sue Candrea, wife of head coach Mike Candrea passed away suddenly while on tour with the USA team. Coach Candrea made the decision to carry on and lead his team in Athens because he knew that is what Sue would have wanted. The team placed 'SC' on the back of their helmets and wore black wrist bands with Sue's initials stitched on them to honor her during the Games.

Extractions: AP BLACKTOWN, Australia (CNNSI.com) China won the longest game in Olympic history Wednesday as the U.S. started a losing streak. Michele Smith set an Olympic record with 21 strikeouts, but she took the loss for the second consecutive game. China scored in the seventh extra inning to win 2-0. Smith and China's Zhang Yanqing, whose 16 strikeouts would also have broken the record, each pitched all 14 innings. "Every time I walked off the field, I believed that would be the last inning," said Smith, who pitched 5 2-3 innings of relief a day before. "I came back out again and I said, `OK, they're not going to score this time, either.'' The game was so long that the outfield sprinklers, connected to an automatic timer set to go on at midnight, sprayed the U.S. players as they took their positions in the 14th.
