Jayda Evans covers college and pro women's basketball. While its her first year on the Washington beat, she has covered the Storm since its inception. She'll offer observations, critiques, occasional off-beat tales and answers to select e-mail inquires. Evans also has written a book on the Storm and women's hoops, called "Game On!"

OK. National media didn't do its best job covering the afterglow of women's achievements at the London Olympic Games. The Seattle Times did offer diaries and features about Olympians with Washington ties. And I blogged/tweeted about the entire women's basketball tournament, including USA Basketball winning an unprecedented fifth consecutive gold medal.
Side note: I was up early watching the Russians and Turks. However, I rarely tweeted about those games because surnames like Palazoglu or Vodopyanova would gobble up Twitter's allotted 140-characters.
Anyway, people were even engaged in the entire Olympic Games to help NBC Universal's monopolized coverage break even in comparison to the Beijing Games. The London Games were the most watched U.S. television event ever, drawing 219.4 million U.S. viewers. (Psst. And half of our population are women.)
The WNBA isn't letting talk shows, documentary-style interviews and some newspaper/magazine articles, often about select female Olympians, be sufficient for recognition of the American female Olympic delegates. At the WNBA's annual Women of Inspiration banquet at Chelsea Piers in New York, the league is giving its 2012 Inspiration Award to the entire USA women's Olympic team. The women combined to win 58 of the USA's 104 total medals.
