| − | The win over the Swedes in their opener was more meaningful for the team, given its long history of strong competition. That includes victories over Russia, the Russian federation and the German women's team in back-to-back World Cup matches.

| − | "We were proud and thrilled at the medal tally, especially the bronze, which was significant but not surprising given the history that we played against and the consistency we have shown," India coach Suresh Raina told reporters after the match. "The team really felt it was important to get the bronze so that we can look forward to taking on another World Cup in 2017.

| − | "With that said, we knew this was not an easy game. We were confident we could win and we know we can. So while we didn't take our eye off the ball a lot, we're happy to get a big step in the right direction after coming away with a strong performance."

| − | The win over Sweden was not just about the bronze medal, but also the points in the gold medal tiebreaker. It proved key in deciding whether the tournament would include Canada or the U.S. in the quarterfinals and semi-finals.

| − | The U.S. team qualified for the Olympics by beating China, 3-1, on Wednesday. The bronze was crucial for Canada in that contest, since it was the only point that the country did not score.

| − | In their quarterfinal against the U.S. Team, the women's hockey team has also played against two elite opponents, Germany and Sweden. Canada's match against Germany was the first of four of six games in the world championship tournament.

| − | Since winning the gold medal, India has played against Canada, Russia, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Australia and South Africa. It is the only country to have played at all of those events.

| − | The gold medal win in London has been a huge boost for India but not all is well with the team as it faces the host nation in the semi-final.

| − | Pacific highway slows to a crawl again and another lane, then again. Another few dozen people turn onto US-34 to get into Chicago's Loop before exiting at Van Buren, about 45 minutes away.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A passenger leans forward and starts to smile, her eyes sparkling like the sun in a shade garden. She talks about moving with her boyfriend to the Loop, but she has nowhere to go, so she keeps chatting over the radio.

| − | At 3 a.m. Sunday, about one hour later, more than 500 people are stuck in traffic on the northbound US-84 exit ramp in downtown Chicago. The drivers are pulling out from the far edge and are about to be pushed to traffic when drivers on the southbound side try to get them to pull into the main lanes so they can slow down.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They don't.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first person to pull into the main lane starts his or her engine, the driver behind the wheel speeds back toward the exit and, moments after, speeds back toward them again. They follow, no matter how badly they wish to keep going, until no one can get out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And then they slow down, and a fourth car, another engine, another. A fifth car — not counting the one pulled into traffic — has already backed into them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They stop about 10 miles away, stop again — to have a good smoke or to make coffee, whichever you can do — and come back.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last few cars stop, and finally someone steps out of their car and starts running down Michigan Avenue. They stop a bit, then one driver starts getting out again and another steps back in. Someone pulls into the left lane, just as the driver in the third car speeds away, and another one tries to get out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Suddenly, the entire intersection, and its drivers, turn into one giant, dangerous traffic circle. Cars turn left and cars turn right, sometimes running into each other, sometimes hitting each other.

| − | But what really hurts are people who don't want to stop and see that chaos and don't think it's possible. A handful of them get on their phones to watch the chaos, but their thoughts wander back to something else in their lives. They have a cellphone or tablet or something to take pictures.
