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 Red Auerbach Celtics Jersey .

Kevin Mchale Celtics Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles receiver Riley Cooper has been sent threatening messages after a video of him making a racial slur became public. The team said Sunday that Riley informed the club of the threats and did not know who made them. The team has notified the leagues security department. Cooper was fined by the Eagles after his slur became known Wednesday. He left the team Friday to seek counselling. "Riley Cooper made us aware of the tweets when the video became public," the team said in a statement. "He told us that he did not know about the video. He informed us he blocked the tweets because he did not know the person nor understand the context of what that person was threatening. "We promptly alerted NFL security. This information potentially speaks to a legal issue that is a matter between Riley and the authorities. Our focus has been on Rileys words and actions." The video of Cooper was taken at a Kenny Chesney concert in June. Cooper apologized profusely both Wednesday and Thursday. Eagles coach Chip Kelly has said Coopers roster spot is not in jeopardy. Cooper has just 46 catches and five touchdowns in three years with the Eagles, but had been practicing with the starters after Jeremy Maclins season-ending knee injury. Asked when Coopper will return to the Eagles, Kelly said theres no time frame.dddddddddddd "When we do, well make sure we announce it so its not going to be a surprise to anybody," Kelly said. Coopers departure coupled with Maclins injury leaves the Eagles lacking experienced receivers behind two-time Pro Bowl wideout DeSean Jackson and longtime slot receiver Jason Avant. Its giving Ifeanyi Momah and Arrelious Benn a chance to not only make the team, but get some playing time. Benn was the 39th overall pick by Tampa Bay in the 2010 NFL draft. He had 59 catches and TDs in three seasons with the Buccaneers. "Football is all about opportunity and timing," Benn said. "The next guy has to step up and have that next-guy mentality. You have to know what you have to do and do it." Momah, a 6-foot-7 receiver out of Boston College, hasnt played since tearing a knee ligament in the first game of his senior year in 2011. "Right now, Im not looking at the depth chart," he said. "Im going to work the same way whether Im with the first team or last team. Im just trying to be consistent and work hard every play, establish myself as a hard worker and prove I can be an every down receiver. Im reaching levels Ive never reached before." ' ' '
