(CBS News) LONDON -- This is the final weekend of competition at the London
Olympics. The closing ceremony is Sunday.
Team USA has established a large lead in the medals count.
Going into Saturday's events, the U.S. had won 94 medals, including 41 gold.
China had 81, with 37 of them gold. And Russia was third, with 64 total and 15
gold.
Kobe Bryant scored lots of three-pointers early in the basketball semi-finals
in London, and the U.S. men's team wound up outscoring Argentina by 26
points.
America's
win on the court sets up a rematch Sunday of the finals in Beijing four
years ago, when the U.S. grabbed gold by topping Spain.
Saturday night, the women's team will be in a gold medal match, too, against
France.

On the wrestling mat, New Jersey native Jordan Burroughs kept
true to his word. He'd promised to tweet a picture of himself holding a gold
medal, and he got the chance.
From the user name "All I see is gold," he posted the photo, writing, "I did
it."
In the 4x100 relay, the U.S. women's team won
gold and broke a 27-year-old world record, by just half-a-second.
The man known as "The Blade Runner" didn't shatter any records or win any
medals at the games, but he did
make history by simply competing. In his second event in London, the 4x400
relay, South Africa's Oscar Pistorius and his team finished last, but his events
marked the first time a double amputee had raced in the Olympics. He runs on
special blades.
