Leslie shows off golden touch

Bookmark and Share

BEIJING — USA women's star Lisa Leslie showed off a little on Sunday night at the men's gold-medal game. Well, a lot. She wore her four Olympic gold medals, the latest achieved on Saturday when the USA women beat Australia in a third straight Olympic gold-medal game.

She and Teresa Edwards are the only two women with four Olympic golds in basketball. Leslie, 36, retired from international competition after Saturday's game. She's off to care for 1-year old daughter Lauren and finish her WNBA season with the Los Angeles Sparks.

Leslie talks about her new book "Don't Let the Lipstick Fool You", motivation for returning after the birth of her first child and why she never thinks about her one bronze medal. (She was wearing all four in this photo but the fourth one is hiding behind the others! The Beijing gold hangs from the red ribbon.)
