Women's basketball

• Lisa Leslie set a U.S. Olympic record going 7 for 7 from the field as the women's team continued its unblemished run through the Beijing Games with a 97-41 victory against Mali. The Americans won their 28th straight Olympic game; the last loss was against the Unified Team in the semifinals of the 1992 Barcelona Games.

Women's volleyball

• The U.S. women's volleyball team scored a 3-1 victory over Venezuela to improve to 2-1 in preliminary pool play. Players played with "Wiz" written on their arms and shoulders in honor of 2004 teammate Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman McCutcheon. Her father was killed and her mother seriously injured in a stabbing attack last week in Beijing.

Men's soccer

• Promise Isaac and Victor Obinna scored to lead Nigeria past a short-handed U.S. team 2-1, earning a place in the quarterfinals and eliminating the Americans. The United States played a man short from the third minute when defender Michael Orozco was ejected for swinging his elbow at Solomon Okoronkwo while the players wrestled for the ball. Also advancing to the quarterfinals were the Netherlands, Cameroon, Belgium and Ivory Coast.

Boxing

• Zou Shiming became a national hero for winning China's first boxing medal with a bronze in Athens in 2004. The Chinese light flyweight began his effort for China's first boxing gold medal with an 11-2 victory over Eduard Bermudez of Venezuela.

• American Deontay Wilder won his first-round match in heavyweight boxing competition with a 10-4 decision over Abdeoaziz Touiobini of Algeria. Tied after three rounds, Wilder outpointed his opponent 6-0 in the fourth and final round.

Wrestling

• Jake Deitchler, at 18 the youngest U.S. Olympic wrestler in 32 years, lost his opening-round match, then lost again in the repechage round of the Greco-Roman 66-kilogram competition to exit the Olympics with an 0-2 record. The United States, last year's world Greco champion, has not won a medal in two days in Beijing, with three wrestlers to go today.

Rowing

• Rowing finalists were decided in five categories. In women's single sculls, American Michelle Guerette advanced to Saturday's final, and American twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss placed second in their semifinal to move on to the men's pairs final.
