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.

Extractions: Have you watched the Olympics on TV or better yet been there to experience it live? Did you ever wondered why the Olympics started? I did! If you want to be on or go to the Olympics, I think you first need to know about it. Why did the games start? At the original Olympics what games did they play? Also what games do they play today? Now, get ready for the world of the Olympics. Have you ever wondered how the Olympics started? In Olympia, Greece the Olympic Games were held every four years. First Olympic game was recorded in 776 BC; that was about 3,000 years ago. At that time this great festival took place to honor the Greek gods. Olympics were held during the great festival. My resources say Olympics were held to please the various gods. One God, in particular, the most important was called Zeus. The Olympics were called Olympiad in Greece. Now we know where the games are held, but we dont know what games they played? In the first thirteen Olympic games, there was only one event and that was the sprint. The sprint event was about one hundred and eight meters in length. Then later Pentathlon was added and it had different events. There was discus, javelin, jumping, running, and wrestling. After a while, they added Equestrian events and that included chariot racing and riding. The Ancient Olympics did have lots of events. They had two major events Equestrian and Pentathlon events.
