Venus Williams defeated her younger sister, Serena on Saturday to defend her Wimbledon title and then the two sisters joined forces a few hours later to take the Wimbledon Double title. Now Venus and Serena are gearing up to represent the United States in the Olympics in Beijing next month. They already have some gold from the 2000 Olympics but they want to add to their collection."I love the Olympics," Venus told Reuters. "To add to my medals is just, it would be amazing. I know I've got to work for it. It's probably bigger than a slam, I think so, definitely. And you know how much I love Wimbledon, it's bigger than Wimbledon."
The tennis tournaments begin on August 10 with the finals going down on August 16 and 17. There's no reason that the Williams sisters aren't considered favorites to win gold, but on this platform they're trying to prove that they're the best in the word. Can they do it again?

I think they can win the gold medal in the Olympics or any other tournaments that they decide to enter.

I would like to see more African American run corporations start using them and popular stars that have the problem of being non-white to start using these stars in their advertising campaingns. We used to boycott the companies that did not respond as a tool to get the good ol' boys to respond to us. It boils down to supply what we demand. I think that they are bodaciously sexy and have the charisma that needs to be displayed.

If the gold medals are not won by the Williams Sisters in Bejing, someone needs to call the exterminator because the world will be smelling a "rat"! Handle your business Venus and Serena!!!
