RIO DE JANEIRO -- Martha Karolyi leaned forward, her hands clutching the railing in front of her seat. Air Max 2018 Hombre . Knuckles white. Head tilted. Body tense.It didnt matter that the U.S. womens Olympic gymnastics team had already sewn up the team gold by the time three-time world champion Simone Biles saluted the floor exercise judges during the final event on Tuesday night.Winning isnt enough for Karolyi. Never has been. For 90 seconds the longtime national team coordinator leaned one way and then another, following Biles every move. Only after Biles score was posted -- one that served as an exclamation point on two hours of nearly flawless gymnastics -- did the architect of a dynasty relax.Then, something else happened. Something she never saw coming. She started crying. And not just a little.I pride normally being very tough, Karolyi said. I was `Oh, whats happening to me? What is this?Its goodbye.The 73-year-old is stepping away from the program she has spent the last 15 years turning into one of the most dominant forces at the Olympics. Her athletes -- all of whom shes nurtured from prodigies to champions -- repaid her hard work with a fitting tribute of precision and tenacity.Twenty eight times in two days they stepped up to compete. And 28 times they hit. No falls. No major wobbles. Nothing but brilliance.The U.S. posted a score of 184.897, more than eight points clear of silver medalist Russia and nearly nine more than bronze medalist China while winning its second straight Olympic title and third overall, a margin greater than the one that propelled the Fierce Five to victory in London four years ago.So much for the pressure of being the heavy favorite. The only real mystery surrounded what nickname the team would settle on before Biles stumbled upon it during a group text.The group -- Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez -- dubbed themselves The Final Five as a nod to Karolyi.Its perfect, Biles said. Its Marthas last year. We wanted it to be meaningful.Biles admitted there were nerves before Sundays preliminaries, though it hardly looked like it while the Americans posted the highest score by more than nine points. The only moment of tension on Tuesday came early. When Hernandez was introduced to the crowd, Raisman nudged her and told her to wave, which the 16-year-old did with a toothy smile.Barely five minutes later, the youngest member of Team USA was all business. Her double-twisting Yurchenko vault -- basically a roundoff onto the block followed by a pair of twists -- put the machine in motion. Raisman, who won three medals in London four years ago and seemed to be on the outside looking in as recently as this spring, followed with perhaps the finest vault of her long career. When Biles drilled her Amanar and put up a 15.933 -- tied for highest of the night -- the U.S. was already on top of the leaderboard and everyone else was playing for second.Its a fate the rest of the field seemed to accept. Russian star Aliya Mustafina admitted before the competition the Americans were unbeatable. Chinas Shang Chunsong said her team aimed for the silver medal, a position the Chinese seemed to have in hand until stumbling on the final rotation.The top spot was never in doubt. The U.S. hasnt lost a major international competition since 2010 and there appears to be no end in sight to their run even though Karolyi and her husband Bela are selling the training facility on their Texas ranch to USA Gymnastics later this month.Karolyi joked shes going to have to be a normal person in retirement and plans to poke her head in occasionally to see if they are going in the right direction.At the moment, that direction is up. Way up thanks in part to the semi-centralized system Karolyi installed. Team members and coaches visit the ranch regularly, where they receive specialized instructions. No detail is overlooked. The competition on Tuesday forced the U.S. to wait sometimes 20-30 minutes between sets. No problem. They do that at the ranch all the time.Martha does that to us, Douglas said. Its start. Stop. Start. Stop.The retirement party will have to wait. Theres more gold to be won. All five Americans will compete later in the games, starting with Biles and Raisman in the all-around on Thursday. Theyll get Wednesday morning off, then its back to work. The job is not done.It never is.Dont take anything granted, Karolyi said. We want to do the very best all the time.A mantra that will live on long after Karolyi takes off her USA Gymnastics sweatsuit for the last time. Zapatillas Saucony Baratas .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Balenciaga Triple S . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. http://www.zapatillasnike2018.es/nike-air-force-1-...ratas.h tml .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. INDIANAPOLIS -- Butler forward Kelan Martin understood exactly why he was pulled out of the starting lineup Saturday.If he keeps playing this way, it may not happen again.Martin scored 20 points, grabbed four rebounds and was the catalyst in two key second-half runs to lead the 16th-ranked Bulldogs past No. 22 Cincinnati 75-65.I had to come out with a different approach, he said. The other day (against Indiana State), I came out with no energy. Today, I came off the bench with a lot of energy.The change was as noticeable on the court as it was in the box score.In 31 minutes, Martin was 6 of 14 from the field, 3 of 7 on 3-pointers and 5 of 6 on free throws. He also had two assists, looked to get the ball quickly and into the right spots instead of settling for jump shots.And when the Bulldogs needed him most in the second half, Martin delivered with a big game that allowed Butler (9-1) to extend its home-court winning streak over non-conference foes to 34 games.We just were looking at a different lineup to start the game, coach Chris Holtmann said. It probably wont be the last time we mix up our lineup.Whatever the explanation, the change worked.Butler was 7 of 10 on 3-point attempts in the first half, 8 of 20 for the game and in control most of the way.Troy Caupain scored a season-high 22 points to lead the Bearcats (7-2) and Gary Clark added 14 points and 12 rebounds.We had to get stops and I think we only got one in the first half, Clark said. We didnt get many in the second half, either.The Bearcats spent most of the first half playing catch-up before tying the score at 35 on Caupains 3-pointer with about 1 second to go. They finally took a brief 38-37 lead early in the second half and tied the score again at 39.But Martins three-point play broke the tie and spurred a 14-4 run that gave Butler a 51-43 lead with 11:51 to go. Martin followed that with six points in a 12-5 flurry to seal the win.We tried not to make too much oof the other night (a loss) and I dont want make too much of today either, Holtmann said. Zapatillas Saucony Hombre. Pleased with it.Andrew Chrabascz had 12 points and four rebounds for Butler.BIG PICTURECincinnati: For the second straight season, the Bearcats hit a road block against Butler. The Bearcats certainly need to play better than they did Saturday if theyre going to meet expectations as the American Athletic Conference favorite.Butler: Maybe Holtmann is the streak buster. Since taking over as head coach three years ago, the Bulldogs are 18-3 following a loss. So was anybody really surprised Butler rebounded from its first loss of the season with a solid win over a ranked team? Not a chance.FOUL TROUBLEKyle Washington came into the game ranked 10th in the nation in double-doubles (5) and as the Bearcats leading scorer. He was nowhere close to those numbers Saturday. Washington was called for two fouls in the first 10 1/2 minutes of the game and two more in the first 9 minutes of the second half. It showed. Washington finished with seven points and no rebounds -- both season lows -- and was 2 of 8 from the field.CRONIN CRANKED UPBearcats coach Mick Cronin was particularly upset with the calls in the second half, and it cost him. With the Bearcats trailing 61-51 with 5:02 left, Cronin, angry about a non-call on a turnover, walked toward the midcourt line to argue and drew a technical foul. Martin made both free throws to give the Bulldogs their biggest lead of the game.UP NEXTCincinnati: Will try to rebound with a three-game home stand that begins Tuesday against Texas Southern.Butler: Will take the week off for finals before returning to action Dec. 17 against an old rival, No. 9 Indiana at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.---More AP college basketball: http://www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
