"That was Leonards best at-bat in qu Antworten

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Britains defending taekwondo champion Jade Jones hung onto her title. Jordans Ahmad Abughaush gave his country its first Olympic medal with a surprising run to the gold.In an action-packed fight Thursday, the top-ranked Jones used an almost continual stream of aggressive attacks that Spains Eva Calvo Gomez was unable to counter in the womens 57-kilogram division at the Rio Games. Jones won 16-7. Jones scored two head kicks within seconds of each other during the first round for an early lead that she never relinquished.The 20-year-old Abughaush won in the mens 68-kilogram division, defeating Russias Alexey Denisenko.The top-ranked Jones, 23, took the gold medal at the London Games and also won the European championships in May. On Thursday, Jones dominated all of her opponents, often scoring first off her lightning-quick front leg, before hopping toward her opponent while throwing repeated head kicks. Her British teammates have nicknamed her the headhunter for her trademark move.Its unbelievable, Jones said afterward. I knew I wanted to be a legend after London. This proves it wasnt just a fluke.After her victory, Jones brought her coach onto the mat to celebrate before the two posed for pictures with the flags of Britain and Wales.Gomez, seeded second, won a silver at last years world championships. She and Jones are longtime rivals and have often split major taekwondo competition victories between them.The womens bronze medals were won by Egypts Hedaya Wahba and Irans kimia alizadeh Zenoorin.Abughaushs victory wrapped up a surprising day of upsets. In a nail-biting final, Abughaush landed several jumping head shots that elicited gasps from the audience. Abughaush beat Denisenko by a score of 10 to 6.Abughaushs success was closely watched back home -- much of Jordans royal family stayed up to watch his historic run at the Olympics. Soon after he received his medal, he got a telephone call from the Kings brother, Prince Feisel al Hussein, president of the countrys Olympic Committee.He told me that the people of Jordan are very happy and crying tears of joy for me, he said. Abughaush said he was very happy to be able to win Jordans first Olympic medal. He acknowledged his rather unorthodox style, saying that while he and his coach had plotted out how to fight certain opponents, certain moments on the mat were improvised.He said he would celebrate his gold medal by going out with other Jordanians in Rio and by singing with them.Earlier in the day, the 10th-ranked Abughaush knocked out second-seeded Lee Dae-Hoon of South Korea before eliminating Olympic champion Joel Bonilla Gonzalez of Spain, who won the 58-kilogram division at the London Games. Lee applauded Abughaushs performance after being beaten by him, raising Abughaushs arm in victory when he was announced the winner.Denisenko knocked out Turkeys defending Olympic champion Servet Tazegul before defeating top-ranked Jaouad Achab of Belgium.The mens bronze medals were won by Spains Joel Bonilla Gonzalez and South Koreas Dae-Hoon Lee.

Custom Sacramento Kings Jerseys . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct.

Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL.The Winnipeg Goldeyes have now won 1,000 games. A soft broken-bat ground ball off the bat of Nick Liles scored Fehlandt Lentini from third base and gave the Winnipeg Goldeyes a come from behind 4-3 victory over the Quebec Capitales. "Thanks for reminding me, Id forgotten about it (1,000 wins) already," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney shortly after Sundays game ended. "Congratulations has to go to Hal Lanier who contributed so much to this organization and brought us so many of those wins and to Doug Simunic who was here for the first two years and helped introduce independent professional baseball to Winnipeg. It was nice to get the win at home." With the victory, the Goldeyes improved to 16-13 and won four of six games on the homestand. They also won back-to-back series for the first time since the opening road trip in mid-May. Regardless of what happens later in the day, the Goldeyes continue to hold onto at least a piece of first place in the American Associations North Division. It was a sensational bottom of the ninth for the Goldeyes. With one out and the Fish trailing 3-2, Leonard Davis had a terrific at-bat and got a 3-2 fastball from Quebec closer Chris Cox that he drilled into the right-centre field gap for a double. Right behind him came Fehlandt Lentini, who banged a single up the middle to score Davis and suddenly the Goldeyes were deadlocked at 3-3. Luis Alen came in to pinch hit for Nate Samson, but on a throw over to first designed to keep Lentini honest, Rene Leveret mishandled the throw and Lentini hustled into second. Cox walked Alen intentionally and that brought up Nick Liles. On the second pitch to Liles, Lentini stole third and that set up Liles unintentional heroics. With the count 2-2, Liles hit a high, broken-bat chopper to third baseman Jonathan Malo, who inexplicably was playing deep at third. Malo trried to throw out Lentini at home, but it wasnt even close.dddddddddddd. Liles had the game-winning RBI and the Goldeyes had a huge come from behind victory. "That was Leonards best at-bat in quite some time," Forney said. "Its why you play all nine innings. He got behind 1-2 and didnt give up. He kept fouling them off, worked the count and got a pitch he could drive. That at-bat put some energy back in the team. It was huge for us." Another thing that was huge for the Goldeyes was starter Matt Ruschs performance. Quebec took an early 3-0 lead. They scored a run in the first off an RBI single from Sebastien Boucher and then added two in the second as Malo and Leveret each drove in runs, but the Goldeyes got two in the bottom of the third as Amos Ramon singled home Jordan Guida and a Josh Mazzola ground out to short scored Tyler Graham from third. Thanks to Rusch, who settled down and stopped Quebec cold, the Goldeyes never trailed by more than 3-2. Rusch, who didnt get the decision, finished the game by retiring 13 Capitales in a row. "We had a depleted bullpen and I needed eight innings from Matt today," said Forney. "I didnt tell anybody that, but I dont know who I could have used. I want to use Aaron Correa in a spot start on Tuesday, so I didnt want to be in a situation where I had to go down there. Matt finished so well. It was a tremendous effort. Patrick Keating (3-0, 0.71 ERA) got the win for Winnipeg, while Cox (0-1, 6.75 ERA) suffered the loss for Quebec. Lentini was the only Goldeyes batter to have a multi-hit game, going two-for-four with a run scored and the game-tying RBI. With another solid game, Lentini raised his batting average to an even .300. Immediately after Sundays game, the Goldeyes boarded the bus to head for St. Paul where theyll open a three-game series on Monday night. ' ' '
