Patterson takes silver in balance beamPosted: Monday August 23, 2004 2:29PM; Updated: Monday August 23, 2004 2:29PM  
 ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- All-around champion Carly Patterson won her third medal of these Olympics and the sixth for the U.S. women's gymnastics team Monday, taking silver behind Catalina Ponor of Romania in the balance beam finals. Alexandra Eremia of Romania took bronze. The Romanian women have four medals at these Olympics, including the gold in team competition.
The six medals for the United States surpasses the total of five won by the women in 1992 and makes this the most successful team in a nonboycotted Olympics. Led by all-around champion Mary Lou Retton, the Americans won eight in 1984. Patterson is from Allen, Texas. |
