#13: Team USA’s Brave Face
The United States can’t come out on top every year at the competition. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to the men’s basketball team during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. Team USA was the fan favorite. Everyone thought they would sweep the competition and win the gold medal. That’s not exactly what happened.

Team USA ended up winning bronze instead of gold. The team got off to a losing start when they lost to Puerto Rico in the opening game. This loss ended Team USA’s 24-year Olympic winning streak, which started in 1992. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. That’s what competition is all about, right?
