Serena Williams beats Sharapova for Olympic gold

Serena Williams became only the second woman to complete a career Golden Slam when she won her first singles gold medal Saturday, beating Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1.

The victory completed a remarkable run of domination by the No. 4-seeded Williams, who lost only 17 games in her six matches. She went 13-0 this summer at the All England Club, where she won her fifth Wimbledon title a month ago. (AP)
