Americans Hoff, Ziegler miss out on swimming gold (AP)

Post by ForumGarden »

AP - Katie Hoff won't be going home with an Olympic gold medal.

Teammate and current world champion Kate Ziegler also missed out, a stunning result for the United States, which has won the event seven times since it was first contested at the 1968 games, including five straight from 1984-2000.
