An American accountant and a New Zealander walked into a Wollongong pizzeria. Danny Green Jersey .Four years later, Gwen Jorgensens decision to seek out Jamie Turner as a coach was rewarded with the first US Olympic triathlon gold medal.Australias record Olympic medal streak in the sport ended on Saturday at Fort Copacabana, but there was still a strong down under influence as Jorgensen beat Swiss Nicola Spirig.Jorgensen spends five months of the year training with Turners famed Wollongong Wizards squad.Spirigs coach is Australian Brett Sutton, a maverick figure in the sport.After finishing 38th at the London Olympics, Jorgensen sought out Turner, a New Zealander who has coached swimming and triathlon in Wollongong since 1995.Turner conducted what he calls LSD - look, search and discover - to see if he and Jorgensen could work together.Id be more interested in an athlete who had the discipline to make their bed every morning, rather than someone whos run X-time for three kilometres, said Turner.The accountant and the Kiwi soon decided they liked the cut of each others cloth.Jorgensen lives for five months each year in a converted North Wollongong garage with the Allen family.She said her gold would not have happened without the Wizards.Im a better athlete, for sure, 100 per cent, because of them, Jorgensen said.Im 30, Im definitely grandma in the group - Patrick (her husband) and I are called grandma and grandpa because we always go to bed early.I feel younger because of them.Jorgensen calls Turner the best triathlon coach in the world and eight of his squad competed in Rio, including Australian top-10 pair Aaron Royle and Ryan Bailie.But never suggest to Jorgensen or Turner that the American has made sacrifices.We dont make sacrifices - athletes make investments, Turner said.One of the things that shell perhaps pat me on the back for is for teaching her that these things are not sacrifices.The accountants investing reaped massive dividends.Between 2014 and earlier this year Jorgensen had a record 13-race winning streak, dubbed Gwensanity, that made her the woman to beat in Rio.Jorgensen thrived under the pressure and had a storming race.Spirig, the London Olympics gold medallist, also impressed after crashing in March and needing hand surgery.There were mind games as they shared the lead on the run, with each telling the other to take a turn into a headwind.Spirig told Jorgensen the American should do the work, given she already had an Olympic medal.Fair enough - she now has two and I still only have one, Jorgensen said.She pulled clear to beat Spirig by 40 seconds, with Vicky Holland from Great Britain taking the bronze five seconds later.Beijing bronze medallist Emma Moffatt led the Australians with sixth, while London bronze medallist Erin Densham overcame a difficult four years to take 12th.Ashleigh Gentle lost touch with the front group in the swim and finished 26th in her Olympic debut. Matt Bonner Jersey . The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose.

Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing. SEATTLE -- Jimmy Grahams first one-handed catch was special. His second was even better.And that doesnt even mention his open-field hurdle of a defensive back.Graham needed just one hand to catch two first-half touchdown passes from Russell Wilson, and the Seattle Seahawks held off a late rally for a 31-25 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.We talked this week if we get a favorable matchup, throw it, Graham said. Its one of those things in the National Football League these windows are so small that sometimes when a guy is on you, you just have to throw it up.Seattle won its 11th straight Monday night game behind a huge game from its tight end. Still less than a year removed from a major knee injury, Graham used his right arm to catch a 17-yard touchdown from Wilson on the first play of the second quarter and later used the same arm to cradle an 18-yard TD pass in the final moments of the first half.But the Seahawks had to hold on in the final seconds as Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor led the Bills inside the Seattle 10 in the final seconds. Taylor was sacked by Cliff Avril on third-and-goal from the 8 and on fourth-and-goal Taylors pass into the end zone fell incomplete.Buffalo would not have needed a touchdown if not for mistakes by the officiating crew at the end of the first half that cost the Bills a chance at a shorter field goal. Dan Carpenter eventually missed a 54-yard attempt on the final play of the half, only after Seattles Richard Sherman got away with an unnecessary roughness penalty that wasnt called and a delay of game caused in part by the officiating crew standing over the ball.NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino tweeted during the game that Walt Andersons crew did not make the correct call.Ridiculous. ... From an officiating stand point, I think they can do better than that, Bills coach Rex Ryan said.Anderson said the play was being shut down because Sherman was unabated to the kicker.I just didnt feel like the actions and the contact, because we were shutting the play down, warranted a foul (for roughing), Anderson said.Graham caught all eight of his targets for 103 yards. It was his third 100-yard receiving game of the season. Wilson was 20 of 26 passing for 282 yards.Wilson and Christine Michael both added 3-yard touchdowns runs, but Seattles run game was again absent. The Seahawks attempted just 12 ruunning plays and wide receiver Tyler Lockett was Seattles leading rusher taking a fly sweep 13 yards. San Antonio Spurs Jersey. .Buffalo lost its third straight to drop below .500, but it wasnt due to its quarterback.Taylor was outstanding, nearly matching Wilsons performance, except for one miscommunication with a wide receiver that led to Shermans end zone interception in the third quarter. Taylor threw for 289 yards. He kept plays alive with his legs and made smart reads and smart throws.Robert Woods was his favorite target with 10 catches for a career-high 162 yards.He played lights out, Bills running back LeSean McCoy said of Taylor. Just everything, the small things, play actions, getting the ball out of his hand, extending plays. He was lights out.KICKING THE CALLThe final seconds of the first half were a mess.Carpenter lined up for a 53-yard field goal with 3 seconds left. Sherman jumped offside and crashed hard into Carpenter, blocking the kick. Sherman was flagged for offside and Carpenter appeared to be hurt bringing trainers on the field.Because the trainers took the field, Carpenter had to leave for one play. Buffalo spiked the ball with 1 second left to set up a 48-yard attempt, but the Bills were penalized for delay of game even with the umpire standing over the ball. Carpenters 54-yard attempt on the final play was wide right.Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he talked with Blandino immediately after the game to get an explanation.PERFECT STARTBuffalo got a dream start, with Jerry Hughes blocking a punt after Seattle went three-and-out to open the game and Taylor running untouched for a 3-yard TD on the next play for a quick 7-0 lead. It was Buffalos first blocked punt since 2014.TOP DEFENSE?Buffalo scored on its first three possessions before Seattle finally forced a punt midway through the second quarter. That snapped a string of nine straight possessions with opponents scoring on Seattles defense.INJURIESBuffalo center Eric Wood was carted off the field after Gillislees TD run with a right ankle injury. Wood was rolled up blocking on the play. Ryan announced after the game it was a broken leg. Ryan Groy took over at center.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
