In 2000, pros were admitted, but the MLB refused to release its players in 2000, 2004, and 2008, and the situation changed only a little: the Cubans still used their best players, while the Americans started using minor leaguers. The United States baseball team won its only gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The team beat Cuba in the Gold Medal game by a score of 4-0. The United States qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics by winning the American Qualifying Tournament.
