Team USA continues putting Bowling Green, Ky. on the map by striking gold at the Special Olympics World Summer Games in China.

The Kentucky girls basketball team defeated Tunisia 21-to-16 to bring home Olympic gold in its division.

It was the second win in two nights for the Kentucky team over a team that had beaten them earlier in the tournament.

"It brings chills to me to know that Bowling Green, Kentucky is represented in an international event like this and not only that, but our team's bringing home the gold medal," admitted Bowling Green Mayor Elaine Walker.
