Price said she broke the ankle bone in her right foot, near the ankle, during her throw last month and the injury prevented her from training for three weeks. “I just hope to put other things together, and display it well.” Price said the injury was mentally difficult to function in the run-up to Tokyo, and it was still excruciating physically. She said she was taping her foot but the pain was inevitable, because it’s the foot she uses for driving and generating power. You just smile and bear and you’ll keep pushing through it.” “Fortunately, the pain isn’t as bad as it used to be, to me, it really is a blessing.” Our fellow American hammer throwers Brooke Anderson and Gwen Perry also advanced to the final.

Kristen Brennan TOKYO – America’s Hannah Roberts won the Olympic silver on Sunday in the women’s motorcycle race at the Tokyo Games. Roberts, 20, cheered and cried after an amazing first run full of tough aerial tricks. She got a score of 96.10, which put her in the lead heading into the second and final round at Ariak Urban Sports Park. But Charlotte Worthington of Great Britain scored 97.50 in her second round and took the gold by the highest average in the finals. Early in her second round, Roberts abruptly stopped riding after an aerial bluff, thus ceding the win to Worthington. A native of Buchanan, Michigan, Roberts entered her first competition at the age of 12 and followed in the footsteps of her cousin Brett Panacevich, a retired professional BMX bike racer. She won the inaugural BMX Freestyle World Championship in 2017 and won it again in 2019. – Josh PeterTOKYO Sarah Spoonsell and Kelly Claes, the world’s No. 3 beach volleyball world number three, lost in the Olympic Round of 16 on Sunday at Shiokazi Park. Canadians Heather Bansley and Brandy Wilkerson, seeded No. 16, won 22-24, 21-18, 15-13 after trailing in the set and 10-4 in the second. “We created more than enough chances for ourselves to win,” Claes said. “They fought through that first, at the end and we let them in again. Everyone is fine here, so we let that door open a little bit and there we are, lost.” Canada led 12-11 in the third set when Sponcel’s serve was called. The US contested the call and was initially successful only to conduct another review to comply with Canada. Falling 14-11, Spoonsell and Claes settled two game points before losing the third with a Wilkerson winner. “I thought (sending spunshells) was there,” Claes said. “It’s bad, but you shouldn’t go down to that third set. We did well in the second and then let them in again.” – Jeff Metcalfe While the US has only one medal so far in athletics – bronze in the 4×400 mixed-gender relay on Saturday – the finals are just getting started.
