导出博客文章Two teams trying to stay in the playoff hunt ahead of the Olympic break collide
in Seattle on Sunday, when rookie star Breanna Stewart and the Storm host Elena
Delle Donne and the Chicago Sky at KeyArena.Seattle (8-13) sits in 10th place in
the league standings. Chicago (9-12) is in sixth place. The top eight teams,
regardless of conference, qualify for the postseason.Both teams have been
inconsistent, but are coming off wins, and would like to build momentum heading
into the month-long Olympic break, which begins at the end of the week.The Storm
hammered the Washington Mystics 80-51 on Friday. Jewell Loyd scored 26 points,
and Stewart had a big all-around game, scoring 10 points, handing out eight
assists and grabbing seven rebounds.The Storm honored former star Lauren Jackson
by retiring her No. 15 jersey at Fridays win over the Mystics. Loyd said
Jacksons presence helped inspire the blowout win. It was only Seattles second
victory in its last six games.Its huge, Loyd told reporters after Fridays win.
Obviously having Lauren here made it a statement game and that just helped us in
getting our momentum going for this next stretch.Stewart, the No. 1 overall
draft pick, leads the Storm in scoring (19.0 points) and rebounding (9.6
rebounds). She was selected as the Best Female Athlete during last weeks ESPYS
and delivered a speech demanding equality for professional female athletes.Delle
Donne, the reigning WNBA MVP, is also having a banner campaign, averaging 20.8
points and 7.1 rebounds for the up-and-down Sky.Chicago has alternated wins and
losses in its last seven games and has not put together back-to-back wins since
early June. The Sky pushed past the Dallas Wings in Friday home win. Delle Donne
scored 24 points. They head to Phoenix on Tuesday, before returning home to host
the Connecticut Sun ahead of the break.This is the first meeting between the two
teams this season. Chicago won both games last season against the Storm,
including a 94-84 win in Seattle on Aug. 14.

-- In a hallway beneath the Olympic Aquatics Stadium, Missy Franklin was
surrounded by the media after her first race of the Rio de Janeiro Games.Until
Katie Ledecky walked by.At least half the reporters bolted away from Franklin
while she was in mid-answer Monday, all of them eager to fire a few questions at
Ledecky.It was the clearest sign yet of the changing of the guard on the U.S.
womens swim team.Franklin was the darling of the London Games, a high schooler
who captured four gold medals and the hearts of everyone back home with her
bubbly personality.Ledecky won gold in her only London race -- quite an
accomplishment for a 15-year-old -- but her triumph was dwarfed by Franklins
long shadow.Now, its Ledecky who is poised to be the biggest womens star in Rio.
The 19-year-old already has two medals and one world record, blowing away the
field Sunday night in the 400-meter freestyle.By the time Ledecky is done, she
very well could have four golds and a silver, which would surpass Franklins
medal haul (four golds and a bronze) in 2012.Franklin seems to have accepted her
fate.Its so hard knowing all the work you put in everyday and then to get here
and be so far behind where you feel like you can be, she said, her eyes tearing
up.Franklin isnt anywhere close to the form she showed four years ago.She
struggled mightily at the U.S. trials, qualifying for the team in only two
individual events and one relay -- a far cry from her seven-evennt program at
the London Games.dddddddddddder first event of the Olympics gave scant evidence
that shes suddenly regained her speed over the past month. Franklin failed to
qualify for the final of the 200-meter freestyle, finishing last in her
semifinal heat and posting only the 13th-best time among 16 swimmers. She
actually went slower in the evening than she did during the afternoon
preliminaries.Ledecky, on the other hand, cruised into the final as the
second-fastest qualifier, with a time of 1 minute, 54.81 seconds -- nearly 3
seconds faster than Franklin.For Ledecky, this is already her third event of the
games. For Franklin, it was the first chance to swim after sitting out the first
two days.She conceded that her confidence level is really different than it was
before the London Games.Its been awesome coming back here and just kind of
accepting the expectations I have now, and knowing thats just to do my best,
Franklin said.Ledecky, of course, is aiming so much higher.Nothing less than
gold in any of her remaining events will do.I feel like every year at the big
championship meets, my stroke just feels as good as it ever has, she said. Once
I get going, its kind of hard to stop.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at
