Australia's women basketballers have finished second to the US three times in a row and are keen to turn the tables at this year's Olympics.
The Opals' attempt to wrestle the Olympic gold medal away from the US will be led by two players at opposite ends of the career spectrum.
Liz Cambage, 20, will play in her first Olympics while Lauren Jackson, 31, is preparing for her fourth.
Both are big names in the American WNBA and will be strike weapons for the Opals in London.
Standing at six foot eight Cambage is a formidable player and last year was the number two pick in the WNBA draft.
Jackson was a number one draft pick for the Seattle Storm back in 2001 and went on to win three WNBA most valuable player awards.
ABC Olympic reporter Ben Knight speaks to both as they prepare for the 2012 Games.
