RIO DE JANEIRO -- Oh, what a golden finish it was for Brazil in the Rio Olympics sailing regatta.Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze sent their fellow Brazilians into a frenzy on Flamengo Beach on Thursday after holding off the New Zealand crew by two seconds to win the gold medal in the womens 49erFX class, which was making its Olympic debut.The host countrys only sailing medal of the games, it came in the last race of the regatta.It added to the legacy of the Grael family, and it launched quite the party.Grael and Kunze hugged after the finish and then flipped backward off the skiff into Guanabara Bay. They then capsized their boat, and the celebration was on.Several family members and friends jumped into the surf to celebrate.As their skiff approached the shore, a few dozen people waded into the water, lifted the craft and carried it up to the beach, with the sailors standing on top of it.Ive never had that feeling before, Grael said. It was indescribable. Its actually how I hoped I could be taken out of the water.Graels father, Torben, who counts two golds among his five Olympic medals, watched the race from a coach boat. He smiled as he watched as the medal was draped around his daughters neck, against the backdrop of Sugarloaf Mountain.When he was watching us get the medal, he was very emotional, and that made me emotional as well, Martine Grael said. Im just proud to be part of the family.The 49erFX is new to the Olympics. Its similar to the mens 49er.I think with all the people cheering for us, it was really a big emotion for us, Kunze said. I think for Brazil its special, this medal. We feel we are representing a lot of things, like girls and sailing and sports, I was not expecting so much warmth from the Brazilian people. We were very pleased with such a reception.Watching the shore side celebration was Robert Scheidt, who finished fourth in the Laser to just miss becoming the first sailor and Brazilian to win six Olympic medals.Denmarks Jena Hansen and Katja Steen Salskov-Iversen won the bronze.In the mens 49er, Peter Burling and Blair Tuke capped a dominant four years of sailing by winning the medal race to confirm the gold theyd clinched two days ago.The Kiwis upgraded the silver they won at London in 2012. They had won 27 straight regattas until finishing third in the South American Championships here last month.Showing just how much better they are than the rest of the fleet, the Kiwis sailed a tactically perfect final race, leading the whole way. They put their arms around each other and clenched their fists in triumph just before crossing the line, and then capsized their boat in celebration.Blair and myself obviously have to have a celebration, Burling said. Its been a massive amount of hard work and dedication toward this goal for a long time so were going to try and have a little bit of time off, but now it `s pretty much back straight into the Americas Cup world after this.The duo sail for Emirates Team New Zealand in the Americas Cup, with Burling serving as skipper. They get just less than two weeks off before heading for the next Americas Cup World Series regatta.Defending gold medalists Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen of Australia took the silver. They sail for Swedens Artemis Racing in the Americas Cup.Bronze went to Germanys Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel. They both jumped into the water in celebration, and tipped their boat over. Last year, Heil was treated for infections he blamed on the polluted water in Guanabara Bay.The water was much better this year, Heil said.Earlier, Annie Haeger and Briana Provancha of the United States were in the silver medal position in the womens 470 finale but dropped to sixth and then fouled the Japanese boat, dropping them to last place in the 10-boat race and out of the medals.That means the United States finished with just one medal, Caleb Paines bronze in the Finn. Four years ago, the Americans failed to win an Olympic sailing medal for the first time since 1936.Obviously we were disappointed that we didnt perform today, Provancha said. But we really gave it our all and fought really hard. Its just not our time right now. It doesnt take away how proud I am of what weve done and how awesome this teams been.Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark of Britain had clinched the gold two days earlier and needed just to finish the medal race to collect it. New Zealands Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie, the 2012 gold medalists, took the silver and Camille Lecointre and Helene Defrance of France won bronze.In the mens 470, Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic won the first Olympic sailing gold medal for Croatia.Australias Mathew Belcher and Will Ryan took the silver after a tight battle against Greeces Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis, who got the bronze.Belcher won the gold medal in London four years ago with Malcolm Page, who then retired from Olympic sailing.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson Air Max Outlet Cheap . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes.

Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. Cheap Nike Air Max China Wholesale . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. Cheap Nike Air Max Clearance . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. The last time Geno Smith faced the Baltimore Ravens, he was in his 11th start as a rookie in 2013.He didnt fare very well, completing just 9 of 22 passes and throwing two interceptions as his New York Jets lost 19-3 in Baltimore.It was part of a forgettable rookie season for the quarterback, who completed just 55.8 percent of his passes and threw 21 interceptions vs. 12 touchdowns. He wasnt much better in his second season, which is why the Jets traded for Ryan Fitzpatrick in March 2015 and ended up making him the starter.However, with Fitzpatrick benched Wednesday, Smith is back at the helm -- at least for now.As the Jets (1-5) host the Ravens (3-3) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, his task is to try to spark an offense that ranks last in scoring (15.8 points per game) and No. 2 in turnovers (15).I felt it was time for a change, New York coach Todd Bowles said. We got up there in the turnover category. We hadnt put any points up. Were trying to get a spark somewhere, so I made the change.The Ravens hope they dont have to make a change at the same position.Quarterback Joe Flacco has been sacked 11 times over the past three games -- all losses -- and is dealing with a sore right shoulder that kept him out of practice Wednesday.I have a little shoulder soreness, Flacco said. A little bit of rest right now is probably the best thing.Coach John Harbaugh said Flacco still has a legitimate chance to play against the Jets. Backup Ryan Mallett would start if Flacco cannot.In two games filling in for an injured Flacco last season, Mallett completed 58 of 97 pass attempts (59.8 percent), with two touchdowns and two interceptions.Ryan (could be) a starter in this league, Harbaugh said. That will not be a problem if he plays. Ill feel very confident if Ryan Mallett is out there playing.That said, Harbaugh clearly would prefer his starter.Joe will be out there if he can be, the coach said. Theres no tougher guy than Joe. To me, he will be out there. Its my belief hell be out there.Considering the quarterback situations in this game, both teamms will try to run the ball.dddddddddddd However, the ground yardage might be hard to come by.The Ravens could be without top pass rusher Terrell Suggs (torn biceps), but they still have the top run defense in the NFL, giving up just 69.7 yards per game.The Jets running attack ranks 19th at just 92.5 yards per game. Part of that is a lack of carries -- Matt Forte and Bilal Powell have combined for just 28 the past two weeks. Smith, a more mobile quarterback than Fitzpatrick, could help that effort.The Jets also will hope Smith can take advantage of an injury-ravaged Ravens secondary and get the ball to top wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who has 27 receptions for 433 yards and two touchdowns.Baltimore hopes to have starting cornerback Jimmy Smith back in the lineup after he sustained a concussion last week against the Giants. But the secondary is also dealing with several other injuries: Tavon Young (undisclosed), Jerraud Powers (groin) and Shareece Wright (hamstring). The status of that trio is uncertain.The Ravens also will try to establish their running game, with Terrance West working to take some pressure off an offensive line that has not been able to protect Flacco. West has emerged as Baltimores top back, rushing for 208 yards on 32 carries in the past two games.Of course, the Jets have almost as staunch a run defense as the Ravens, ranking sixth in the NFL at 85.5 yards allowed per game. Baltimores reshuffled line will have to contend with Leonard Williams (five sacks) and company.Bowles plans to make a few personnel moves on defense, although he would not give any details.(None) that I feel like revealing, Bowles said, but Ive made some changes.One potential switch would be benching cornerback Buster Skrine, who was flagged for four penalties Monday night in New Yorks 28-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He could be replaced by Marcus Williams, who has nine interceptions in 27 career games.
