RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jillion Potter has overcome cancer and a serious neck injury that kept her out of rugby for long periods of time, giving her the kind of perspective that doesnt allow a narrow loss to Fiji to overshadow her Olympic debut.
[b]Authentic NBA Jerseys Cheap[/b] .The 30-year-old United States forward is up to a challenge, and there are still plenty of those at the Olympics, where rugby is being played for the first time in 92 years.Potter played both games for the Americans on Saturday, wearing the No. 1 jersey and helping the team overcome a 12-7 loss to Fiji with a 48-0 win over Colombia that kept them in contention for the quarterfinals in the womens rugby sevens tournament.Her background offers some inspiration for her teammates, even if she prefers to talk about things other than the months of chemotherapy to treat a rare, Stage III synovial sarcoma that kept her sidelined for the 2014-15 world sevens series. Or the traumatic neck injury that kept her out of the World Cup in 2010.Were always looking to inspire each other, Potter said. My teammates do an excellent job inspiring themselves and each other. Well bring each other up.Her advice was simple after the unexpected early loss: Stay present and continue forward. Learn from our mistakes. At the end of the day, were still in it.And so they are. The Americans play top-ranked Australia in their last pool match on Sunday, and have the chance to advance with a win, a draw or possibly even a loss. The top two teams in each of the three groups advance, and the two teams with the best third-place records will also make the playoffs. Fiji lost 36-0 to Australia in the last match on Day 1 but is likely to finish with two wins -- facing struggling Colombia in its last Pool A match -- adding to the pressure on the Americans.At least theyll know the equation before the match, as theirs is the last group game. In other big matches before then, Canada and Britain -- both unbeaten -- will meet to determine the top spot in Pool C and New Zealand will play France in Pool B.We knew based on losing that first one we had to come out and have a big point differential to have a chance for the quarters, United States captain Kelly Griffin said.In terms of the group stage, we dont necessarily control our own destiny, but we have to remember we can control only what we can control -- going out and playing the best game possible against Australia.The Australians dominated the world sevens series last season, winning three of the five tournaments and reaching the final to replace New Zealand as No. 1 in the world. The Americans placed sixth in the world series, well behind the top four teams, but the players arent giving up hope of a medal just yet, knowing that the attention that comes with a strong run in the Olympics will help continue the growth of the emerging rugby markets.Its phenomenal. The Olympics provides a wonderful platform for rugby, Potter said. Were hoping that more and more people start playing the game. Were excited to share the love of rugby to the world.Griffin packs down beside Potter in the scrums, so has a close view of the technical qualities and experience her teammate brings into the game.Honestly, Jill is Jill. She hates the cancer question, Griffin said. She just goes out and plays like the rest of us.Kathryn Johnson, a third member of the U.S. scrum, said Potters recovery and return to action was an inspiration, but every player provided motivation.Everyone has had their own path. Its been tough for everyone, Johnson said. And its exciting -- its crazy how we all ended up on the same spot.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Britain had never won an Olympic gold medal in gymnastics before Sunday.In a span of about an hour, Max Whitlock gave the British two.He already had won a bronze medal in mens all-around at the Rio Games, then took the top spot in the floor exercise and pommel horse Sunday. He wasnt able to properly celebrate after the floor because his two events started just more than 90 minutes apart.I had to go back to the training gym, refocus and get warmed up to do my job on pommel horse. ... It was tough, he said.Whitlock finished fourth in the preliminary round but turned in a stellar routine on the floor to win with a 15.633 score. He outdid Brazilian crowd favorites Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano, who finished second and third.But the Brits werent finished yet. Whitlock and Louis Smith repeated what they did at last years world championships by taking gold and silver, respectively, in the pommel horse. Whitlock finished at 15.966 and Smith at 15.833.I think Britain can safely say that were the best pommel horse workers in the world, Smith said. Its just pride. Its nice not to hear a Japanese or American anthem for once. Its nice to hear the British anthem. So, yeah, its just incredible.Smith pushed the British team into contention when he won bronze on the pommel horse at the 2008 Olympics. Whitlock made his Olympic debut in London, where he won broonze on the pommel horse and the team took bronze.

Smith continued to lead Britain in London, taking a silver medal on the pommel horse.But he was unable to capture that elusive gold medal, leaving that honor to Whitlock. Minutes after he collected his second gold medal, Whitlock was asked about the significance of the victory not only for himself but for Britain.I dont know when it will hit me, he said. I dont know if it will to be honest. I just sort of go along and do my thing and go with the flow, but this feels pretty crazy. So Im looking forward to sitting back and sort of taking a look.Smith watched Whitlocks performance Sunday and marveled at what he saw.Incredible performance. Cant fault him, Smith said. Im quite good at eating humble pie and when Im beat, Im beat. It was a fantastic routine. I cant knock the guy.Whitlock seemed a bit dazed after his performance as he walked past reporters. Instead of wearing his gold medal around his neck -- as every other winner did Sunday -- Whitlock clutched his tightly in his right hand while he spoke. He wasnt sure why he didnt put it around his neck.I dont know, really. It is pretty heavy to be honest, he said with a chuckle. Ill go back and keep it safe. Im very proud today.
