From AP's Steven Wine at Wimbledon:

"When Serena Williams completed her career Golden Slam by winning an Olympic rout, she began the celebration with a long scream. She hopped a dozen times on the grass she loves, waved to the cheering crowd and hopped some more. Williams was still jumping about as she put on her Team USA jacket for the medal ceremony. Then she began to dance."

Williams became only the second woman to achieve a Golden Slam, winning the most lopsided women's final in Olympic history Saturday by beating Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1.
