You might not want to look at day 6 results: mighty Russia down again, by two points to the Czech Republic. box score Maria Stepanova 28 points (with only 2 turnovers WNBA); Eva Viteckova of the Czech Republic 25 points (with only 1 turnover WNBA.) At left, leftmost background Eva Viteckova and Russia's Ilona Korstin, foreground Svetlana Abrosimova, Czech Republic's Jana Vesela, Russia's Olga Arteshina, and rightmost background Tatiana Shchegoleva.
Australia defeated Brazil to remain undefeated in the tournament, China defeated Cuba, Spain defeated Canada. USA 34 points over France. And it's not that US play is ho-hum, but, to the contrary, given the men's result at their tournament (bronze medal), there is no way anybody will touch them this year! Dream on world!
