Men's Basketball Gold Caps Rio Olympic Games For Team USA

RIO DE JANEIRO – Kevin Durant made sure Team USA put an exclamation point on the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

He scored 30 points as the United States won the gold medal in men’s basketball Sunday, routing Serbia 96-66 after leading by as many as 41 points.

For the first time in history, the United States won both the first gold medal (shooter Ginny Thrasher in women’s 10-meter air rifle) and the last at an Olympic Games in summer competition.

Good shooting played a part in the bookend gold medals. Durant scored 24 points in the first half on 64 percent shooting and in the second quarter he outscored Serbia all by himself 18-14 with seven baskets, including four 3-pointers.

Team USA has now won 25 straight games in Olympic competition dating back to the bronze-medal

IOC President hails Rio 2016 as “iconic Games”

"We have seen iconic athletes across all the sports,” he told reporters at a wrap-up media briefing. “The level of competition over all the sports was extremely high, and I can only congratulate the athletes for their stunning performances. This is only possible if you have excellent venues.”

He added, “The Brazilians were great hosts and united behind these Games. With the joy of life of the Brazilians, they turned this into a great party for everybody.”

President Bach also cited what he called “iconic stories” from the Rio 2016 Games, a series of

Orange Trio Head to World Rowing Championships

Photo is courtesy of Syracuse
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – According to Syracuse, A trio of Syracuse University men's rowers will compete at the 2016 World Rowing Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands beginning on Sunday, Aug. 21. Rising junior Mike Glaude, rising sophomore Nick Tavares, and incoming freshman Pieter Kerpestein will all race at the annual world championship regatta.

During an Olympic year, the World Rowing Championships is a combined regatta, featuring junior, U23, and senior team competition. Glaude will represent the United States in the U23 double scull, while Tavares is a part of the Canadian U23 coxed four crew. Kerpestein is a member of the Dutch junior coxed eight boat.

In his second year at Syracuse in 2016, Glaude held a spot in the Orange third varsity eight boat. The Oxford, Pa. native helped the crew to a 15th-place showing at the 2016 Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) Championship Regatta. Glaude will hit the water at the World Rowing Championships on Sunday morning at 4:50 a.m. EST.

As a freshman at Syracuse this past year, Tavares sat in the Orange's top boat, the first varsity eight. Tavares helped the crew to a 15th-place showing at the 2016 IRA Championship Regatta, the team's best finish since 2012. Heats for the U23 coxed four competition begin at 10 a.m. EST in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Kerpestein has been a part of the Netherlands' top junior boat throughout 2016. Earlier this year, he helped the Dutch coxed eight crew to a second-place showing at the 2016 European Rowing Junior Championships in Trakai, Lithuania. Kerpestein will start racing on Wednesday morning at the World Rowing Championships.

Simone Biles selected as Team USA’s Closing Ceremony flag bearer for Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Four-time Olympic champion Biles becomes first gymnast to lead
U.S. Olympic delegation into Closing Ceremony

RIO DE JANEIRO –
Four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles was selected to lead the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team into Sunday's (Aug. 21) Closing Ceremony as flag bearer, as announced today by the United States Olympic Committee. Biles was chosen by a vote of fellow Team USA members.

In her Olympic debut, Biles won team and individual gold medals in the women’s all-around, vault and floor exercise, also adding a fifth medal – bronze – on balance beam. She became the first American gymnast to win four golds at a single Games and one of only four women to accomplish the feat in Olympic history, joining Larissa Latynina (1956), Vera Caslavska (1968) and Ekaterina Szabo (1984). 



"It's an incredible honor to be selected as the flag bearer by my Team USA teammates,” said Biles. “This experience has been the dream of a lifetime for me and my team and I consider it a privilege to represent my country, the United States Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics by carrying our flag. I also wish to thank the city of Rio de Janeiro, and the entire country of Brazil, for hosting an incredible Games.”

Widely considered the best gymnast of her generation, Biles’ Olympic medal haul extended her U.S. record to 18 individual medals combined in world and Olympic competition over the last three years. Her historic performance propelled the U.S. women’s gymnastics team to a total of nine medals in Rio, surpassing the team’s previous high of eight from the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. The nine medals are the most won by any women’s team since the Soviet Union claimed 10 medals at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. 



Biles is only the second gymnast to serve as Team USA’s flag bearer, in either the Opening or Closing Ceremony, and the first-ever female gymnast to earn the honor. Alfred Jochim is the only other American gymnast to previously serve as flag bearer, leading the U.S. delegation into the Opening Ceremony of the 1936 Olympic Games.
