Armstrong wins Gold with a little help from the Interweb

In a totally novel geeky use of technology, Kristin Armstrong, the US Olympic Gold Medalist in the women’s cycling time trial, says that in training for the Olympics, she rode the bike course in Beijing with a GPS and then uploaded that data to Google Earth in order to find a similar route to train on back home in Boise, Idaho.

I wonder if Spain’s basketball team uploaded that same data to Google Image Search in order to train for Beijing.
