Natasha Kai of the U.S. was not the only out woman to stand on a soccer victory podium.  German lesbian midfielder Linda Bresonik stood with her victorious teammates after Germany beat Japan 2-0 for the bronze.  At home, she plays with the SG Essen-Schoenbeck as well as the national team.  

In the softball finals, the U.S.  team went down to Japan 3-1 in a huge upset.  But hey, we did get a silver, not a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.  Which meant that hitter/second baseman Vicky Galindo (who is bi) and out lesbian catcher Lauren Lappin were showing off their medals with their teammates.
