RIO DE JANEIRO -- Judo translates as the gentle way.But after nearly a week of competition at the Rio Olympics, the meaning of the Japanese martial art seems almost paradoxical; many of the matches have ended brutally, with judo players strangling others into unconsciousness or threatening to break their opponents arms before forcing them to surrender.When American Kayla Harrison fought her way to history on Thursday -- becoming the countrys first two-time Olympic champion -- she did it in dominant form. Harrison compelled all of her opponents to submit in an automatic victory for the American, either by immobilizing them on the judo mat for 20 seconds or trapping them in an armbar, a move where the limb is hyperextended to the point of a fracture, compelling them to tap out.In the moment, youre just thinking about winning, Harrison said. Youre so focused and so in the zone that you dont really consider the repercussions of it, but afterwards, of course, you never really want to hurt anyone.Harrisons final match was a tense bout against Frenchwoman Audrey Tcheumeo. The fight was scoreless until its final minute, when Tcheumeo stumbled on the mat, giving Harrison an opening. With six seconds remaining, she seized Tcheumeos arm and applied an armbar so powerful the Frenchwoman slapped the mat repeatedly, handing Harrison her second gold medal.After the match, Tcheumeo said that Harrison had been too strong and acknowledged that tapping out is a particularly difficult way for judoka to lose.It was a very hard moment because Kayla was too strong, but thats what judo is, she said.It wasnt always that way.Judo was developed by Jigoro Kano in the 19th century in Japan and was intended as a martial art that used the opponents force against him without striking. During a trip Kano took to Europe to promote judo, he was heckled by a foreigner. To demonstrate judos effectiveness, Kano gripped the mans shirt and threw him -- but held a hand underneath the skeptics head to protect him.That consideration may be harder to spot at the Olympics, where some of the fighters this week have left the mat in tears clutching their injuries while others have hobbled off the mat, supported by medics.Ghanas first female judoka, Szandra Szogedi, left the mat doubled over in tears this week after being forced to tap out to her Brazilian opponent, caught in a stranglehold she said caused her to black out. And Brazils defending Olympic judo champion Sarah Menezes suffered a gruesome dislocated elbow on Saturday in a match against a Mongolian fighter that sent Menezes to the hospital.Although classic Japanese judo has traditionally involved fighters throwing each other from an upright position, the martial art also includes a groundwork component that has become more widely employed among non-Asian fighters in particular, drawing on the wrestling traditions in many eastern European countries. In recent years, judos governing body has moved to encourage more of the groundwork techniques that include some of the sports most aggressive attacks -- although some practitioners dispute its brutality.As violent as it looks, all of the submission holds in judo are done with control, said U.S. head coach Jimmy Pedro. You always have to give your opponent an opportunity to submit. You cant just break someones arm.Travis Stevens, an American judo fighter who took silver in the mens 81-kilogram division said that while judo does have a gentle side, all bets are off when an Olympic medal is at stake.When it comes to (elite) judo, I have an `anything goes policy, he said. If youre not qualified or skilled enough to protect yourself, you shouldnt be on the mat. He said the best judoka have a high pain threshold and that the injuries seen at Rio are simply an indication of the lengths theyre willing to go to for their Olympic dream.I dont think any judo player is going to come out of a major competition without a few bumps and bruises, he said. But you have to do whatever it takes to win -- as long as its within the rules.Christian Okoye Youth Jersey . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

Tyreek Hill Youth Jersey . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami threw two defensive starters off its football team Saturday for NCAA violations, after a months-long probe into whether players had access to luxury rental cars.Defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad and linebacker Jermaine Grace were permanently dismissed from the team, though the school is offering to continue providing financial aid until they graduate from Miami. It was not immediately clear if either player is planning to remain at the university, which remains on probation over the actions of a former rogue booster.Another linebacker, Juwon Young, left Miami several weeks ago and was part of the same rental-car probe. He now is on Marshalls roster.The fallout from the investigation will have a major impact on the Hurricanes, who open their season Sept. 3 against Florida A&M -- as it cost Miami its three leading tacklers from a year ago. Grace had 79 tackles, Young had 57. Muhammmad, who missed the entire 2014 season because of a university-imposed suspension after an off-campus fight, had 54 and led the Hurricanes in both tackles for loss (8.dddddddddddd5) and sacks (5).The decision was made in consultation with outside counsel and after discussions with the NCAA enforcement staff, the university said in a statement. As no staff members or boosters were involved in the violations, the program will not be subject to sanctions and, at this time, the University deems this matter closed.Declaring the matter closed means that wide receiver Stacy Coley, who was also investigated as part of the rental-car probe, was apparently not found to have done anything meriting sanctions.Miami coach Mark Richt is not scheduled to address reporters agt wide receiver Stacy Coley, who was alss[/url] ' ' '
