U.S. Women's Softball Seeks Redemption in Rematch of 2008 Gold-Medal Game

The U.S. women's softball team will seek redemption in Wednesday's gold-medal softball final against Japan's squad. The game is a rematch of the 2008 Olympic softball final — the last time the Games featured the sport — which saw Japan beat the United States. The loss kept the Americans from winning gold for the first and only time since softball became an Olympic sport in 1996.
