Three weeks of highs, heart-stoppers and a few heartaches too. Rio had it all, and even more. The following, in no particular order, have been a few of those moments that will keep finding their way back in my bank of memories.The bronzeAfter more than a week of competitions, India still hadnt registered their presence on the medals tally. There had been several near misses and a sense of desperation was palpable. The drought was ended in the most unexpected fashion by this feisty wrestler from Rohtak, Sakshi Malik. In her bronze medal play-off, she trailed her opponent from Kyrgyzstan by 5 points, but with three minutes still to go in the bout, she fought back in spectacular fashion- Sakshi first overturned the deficit and then took the lead to become the first Indian female wrestler to win an Olympic medal. She said later that she was confident that if she lasted the duration of the bout, she would return with a medal.The ProdunovaGymnastics is one of the most followed sports at an Olympics and Dipa Karmakars presence among an elite field itself was a huge moment for Indian sport. Having made the cut for the eight woman final by the skin of her teeth, Dipa produced a compelling performance in front of a packed audience on the day. She was the sixth gymnast to perform her two vaults, and by performing her now patented Produova as the second vault, Dipa produced a scintillating passage. Her scores catapulted her to second spot raising hopes of a most unlikely medal, but she was surpassed by the last two gymnasts in the field. Despite missing out, she lifted the sagging spirits of Indian sports followers and became an instant rage back home, though when asked if she realized how much her feat had resonated in the country, she simply smiled and said, No.The BoltThe arrival of Usain Bolt into the stadium is an occasion in itself. It is as if the thousands of people inside have been eagerly anticipating only that audience. In Rio, the big question was if he will be displaced as the king of sprint. A lot of punditry was doing the rounds about how he was ripe for the taking. But when it came to the actual running of the races, the Jamaican showed just why he was infinitely superior to the field. In the 100m, he recovered from a shaky start to run down American Justin Gatlin with a spectacular burst. In the 200m, he decimated the field, crossing the finish line well ahead of the chasing pack. And then, he bossed the anchor leg of the 4x100m relay to complete a Three-peat at the Olympics. He made the crowd a part of every celebration, energizing them with the signature Bolt victory display and walking around the stadium to acknowledge their presence. He remains the most compelling athlete on the planet.The silver liningWatching P V Sindhu in action over the course of the week was to watch an athlete on rapid ascendancy. In a remarkably assured run, Sindhu won three consecutive matches against higher ranked opponents without losing a single game. Her movements around court was markedly better than before and her shot making had more penetration as well as deception. With coach and mentor Gopichand in her corner at all times, Sindhu flowered in the pressure and against the World No.1 Carolina Marin in the final, put in a commendable performance. Though she was beaten in a three-game encounter, Sindhu signaled her arrival as a player who is near certain to make a surge up the rankings. Once she had the silver medal around her neck, all Sindhu wanted was to have a little bit of junk food that Gopichand had prohibited over the last couple of months.The redemptionAt one of the iconic venues in the sporting world, it appeared an entire nation had focused its eyes on the outcome of this match. Football runs in the bloodstream of Brazilians and being there on the night they fronted up to Germany for the gold medal was as clear a demonstration of that as one could hope to see. From an hour before kick off, the arena throbbed with sound, music and anticipation in a way that some of the hurt of their embarrassing loss in the 2014 World Cup semifinal to the same opponents could be erased.Neymar was the central figure of the night and once the game began, it was as if you were transported to an alternative universe. The fans urged their team on with whistles, drum beats and co-ordinated chants. The Germans stayed in the contest despite conceding the lead and their efforts were rewarded with a second half equaliser. It was in the penalty shootout that the arena exploded with nervous tension. At 4-4, with Nils Petersen missing his penalty, Neymar stepped up and scripted the perfect fairytale finish as the talisman of the team. The subsequent celebrations shook the foundations of the Maracana Stadium with delirious fans hugging, jumping and weeping in sheer ecstasy. For the neutral, it was an unforgettable experience - a reminder of the power of sport to unite a people. http://www.baseballyankeesmlb.com/authentic-marian...es-jers ey/ . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. http://www.baseballyankeesmlb.com/authentic-alex-r...es-jers ey/ . The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. http://www.baseballyankeesmlb.com/authentic-matt-h...es-jers ey/ . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net. http://www.baseballyankeesmlb.com/authentic-joe-gi...es-jers ey/ . The Masters champion and winner of last weeks Australian PGA has a three-round total of 14-under 199 at Royal Melbourne. "Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said. http://www.baseballyankeesmlb.com/authentic-derek-...es-jers ey/ . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up. CHICAGO -- Brian Dozier was struggling to keep his average above .200 for the first two months of the season.Then June arrived and Dozier turned into one of the hottest hitters in the majors.Dozier homered twice and drove in four runs, Kyle Gibson pitched seven innings of five-hit ball for his first victory of the season, and the Minnesota Twins blanked the Chicago White Sox 4-0 on Tuesday night.Dozier homered in his third straight game and extended his hitting streak to 10 games as the last-place Twins beat the White Sox for first time in seven tries.Its contagious. I know thats a boring answer, but it really is, Dozier said. Guys heat up around you and you kind of feed off one another. I got a couple good pitches to hit.Gibson (1-5) struck out seven and walked one in his best performance since coming off the disabled list this month.Ryan Pressly and Brandon Kintzler each got three outs to finish the six-hitter for Minnesotas first shutout of the season.Thankfully, I was able to put up some zeros and keep some of the pressure off the offense, Gibson said.Dozier pulled both homers off Jose Quintana (5-8), a solo shot off a fastball in the second and a three-run drive off a curveball in the sixth for his third career multihomer game. Doziers 12th homer of the season drove in Eduardo Nunez, who had singled, and Joe Mauer, who walked.Dozier has gone from .202 on June 1 to .259. In his 10-game hitting streak, he is hitting .439 (18 for 41) with five homers, three doubles and two triples.I think hes just slowing himself down and getting a better look at the baseball, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. I think hes executing plans a little bit better and when he gets mistakes, hes taking advantage.It was the ninth straight game with an extra-base hit for Dozier, the longest streak for the franchise since it moved to Minnesota in 1961. Dozier added an infield single off Chris Beck in the eighth.Its all about driving the ball and staying behind the ball, Dozier said.The Twins won for the fifth time in eight games and slowed a White Sox team that thought it waas on the upswing.ddddddddddddChicago had won two straight series after a 10-26 stretch, but it was shut down by Gibson in the right-handers best start since he threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the White Sox on Sept. 13.Todd Frazier went 0 for 4 and struck out twice, lowering his average to .198, and Melky Cabrera was 0 for 3 before leaving with a sore left wrist after six innings.Rookie Tim Anderson had two hits for the White Sox, who again provided little support for Quintana. The lefty allowed six hits and struck out eight in seven innings.After a 5-1 start, Quintana is 0-7 in his last nine outings despite a 3.18 season ERA.Its been going on for two or three years, Frazier said of Quintanas lack of support. Maybe we try a little harder. Im not saying pressing like `We got to, we got to. But maybe we go after it more rather than just see pitches.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: RHP Phil Hughes will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. He was already out with a broken bone above his left knee. ... 3B Miguel Sano (strained left hamstring) homered Monday for Triple-A Rochester, but Molitor said he still has a ways to go before hell be ready to end his rehab assignment.White Sox: Manager Robin Ventura said Cabrera has been sore since diving for a fly ball on June 18. When he swings and misses there seems to be some irritation, Ventura said.MORNEAU CLOSERRecent White Sox signing Justin Morneau (elbow surgery) said he feels more like a baseball player as he takes daily batting practice. The former AL MVP with the Twins could start a minor league rehab stint next week -- he said hell need at least 30 at-bats -- before a possible Chicago debut after the All-Star break.That would put Morneau in line to play at Minnesota as an opponent for the first time July 29-31.Itll be weird, he said.UP NEXTRHP James Shields (2-9, 6.22 ERA) makes his fifth start for Chicago and faces Minnesota RHP Ricky Nolasco (3-5, 4.95 ERA) on Wednesday night.
