OPALS
OUR Opals have cruised to a third straight victory in Beijing, knocking over South Korea 90-62 with little fanfare to remain atop Group A. After an uncharacteristically quiet second half against Brazil in their last match, the Opals were keen to lift a level tonight and they achieved that courtesy of 18-point hauls to Penny Taylor and Suzy Batkovic, backed up by 16 from Lauren Jackson, Yeonha Beon played a lone hand for the Koreans, leading all scorers with 20 points. There is still plenty of room left for improvement, but the Opals are doing enough to win and aim to be peaking by the time the medal rounds arrive. There will be stunning jewellery worn by some of the famous athletes, of course there will be many spectators rich people royal family prime ministers and presidents wearing very expensive Australian gem quality black Opal along with beautiful Australian Opal Crystal.
