relief appearances for San Diego the first mont

RIO DE JANEIRO -- It took a moment for Helen Maroulis accomplishment to sink in.The American defeated Japans Saori Yoshida 4-1 in the 53-kilogram freestyle final to win the first-ever gold medal for a United States womens wrestler and derail Yoshidas quest for a fourth straight gold. It evoked memories of American Greco-Roman wrestler Rulon Gardners victory over three-time gold medalist Aleksandr Karelin at the 2000 Olympics.Maroulis celebrated Thursdays win by leaping into coach Valentin Kalikas arms, then running around the mat in a circle and gripping the United States flag with both hands while it was draped over her back.At the end of it, I was like, Really, I just did this? she said. Like, oh my gosh!Yoshida was trying to become the second woman ever to win four Olympic gold medals in a single event across four Summer Games, and the second wrestler to win four Olympic golds. Yoshidas teammate, Kaori Icho, accomplished the feats Wednesday by winning the 58-kilogram gold. Yoshida hadnt lost in a major tournament in years, but she had been less dominant in recent tournaments, and Maroulis was on a two-year win streak of her own.Its an honor to wrestle Yoshida, Maroulis said. For someone to win three gold medals and come back and risk that and accept that challenge to win a fourth -- thats another four years of work, dedication, of giving your life to the sport.Yoshida made no excuses after the match when asked why she lost.Just that the opponent is stronger than me, she said. I should have attacked sooner and faster, but the opponent was stronger than me.Maroulis said her coach, Kalika, played a key role in the victory. But even with the game plan in place, she became a bit tense before the start.Im like, stepping on the mat, and Im thinking, I dont even know how this is going to get done. I dont know. Im just going to trust, and I just want to give my all, Maroulis said.Maroulis fell behind 1-0, but a takedown early in the second period gave her the lead for good.Ive dreamed of this my whole life, Maroulis said. I put it on this pedestal.A dream matchup in the womens wrestling 75-kilogram freestyle category was ruined when the United States Adeline Gray and Brazils Aline da Silva Ferreira both lost in the quarterfinals.Gray, the heavily favored three-time world champion, lost to Vasilisa Marzaliuk of Belarus 3-1 on Thursday.

Let us know which side youre on for UFC 167 use the hashtag #TeamLynch or #TeamJC on Twitter.Right-hander Andrew Cashner is going home for a spot in the Texas Rangers rotation.A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Friday that the free agent pitcher and the team had reached an agreement on a $10 million, one-year deal. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical and wasnt finalized, and the AL West champions had not made an official announcement.Cashner, a Texas native who was a first-round draft pick out of TCU in 2008, finished last season with the Miami Marlins after the San Diego Padres traded him July 29. He was 5-11 with a 5.25 ERA in 28 games last season.Texas had inquired about Cashner before the non-waiver trading deadline last summer, and had previously been interested in him.The 30-year-old Cashner will join a Rangers rotation thats led by aces Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish, and includes Martin Perez.After a standout career at TCU, about 20 miles from the Rangers ballpark, Cashner was drafted 19th overall by the Cubs in 2008. He made his major league debut two years later with 53 appearances for Chicago. The Cubs traded him to San Diego after the 2011 season, in the deal that sent first baseman Anthony Rizzo to Chicago, and Cashneer eventually became a starter for the Padres.ddddddddddddCashner has a 31-53 record with a 3.89 ERA in 202 career games. He has started 103 of his last 104 games since making five relief appearances for San Diego the first month of the 2013 season.Texas earlier this month declined its $11 million option for left-handed starter Derek Holland, instead electing a $1.5 million buyout and making him a free agent. The 30-year-old Holland was part of Texas only two World Series teams in 2010 and 2011, but missed significant time because of injuries the past three seasons.Game notesThe Rangers received RHP Tyler Wagner on waiver claim from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 25-year-old Wagner spent most of the 2016 season on the disabled list at Triple-A Reno with a strained right lat muscle. He made three relief appearances for Arizona in April. ...
