RIO DE JANEIRO -- Team first. That has been the marching orders for the U.S. womens gymnastics team since its five members were selected in July. Focus on the team competition, and the rest -- the all-around medals, the inevitable superlatives and the individual medals -- will be icing.Tuesday night, the cake finished baking. The Americans -- who dubbed themselves the Final Five in honor of U.S. team coordinator Martha Karolyis final season -- defended their 2012 gold medal, winning by more than eight points over the Russians. U.S. team captain Aly Raisman and 2012 all-around champ Gabby Douglas became the first American women to win two team gold medals in gymnastics.Its time to slather on the icing.During qualification on Sunday, every member of the U.S. team qualified for at least one of the event finals, which will take place over three days during the next week. The U.S. will send two women to each event final except for vault, where three-time world champ Simone Biles, who will also compete on floor and beam, will be the lone U.S. representative. Raisman and Biles also qualified into the all-around final, which takes place Thursday.The key now is getting enough rest, Raisman, 22, said after Tuesdays team final. Thats the key for me. Well have the morning off and a quick workout tomorrow and then its just preparing and staying calm.It is conceivable -- no, probable -- that the U.S. women will leave Rio with every gold medal on the table, and perhaps four silver medals, to boot. Biles has the very real possibility of nabbing five gold medals and finally putting to rest the debate over whether she is the greatest gymnast of all time. (Spoiler alert: She is.)If Madison Kocian and Gabby Douglas perform the flawless bar routines they landed Tuesday, they will go 1-2 in that event. Biles and Raisman should do the same on floor, and Biles is the vault favorite.Laurie Hernandez, who has been as consistent as any gymnast in Rio, could conceivably give Biles a run on beam, especially if Biles falters. Biles finished .67 ahead of Hernandez on beam in the team final, but Hernadezs Sunday qualification score of 15.366 would have been good enough to beat Biles 15.3 from Tuesday. Hernandez has five days off before Mondays beam finals, while Biles will compete in the all-around and vault first.So while its a long shot, the topic of a Hernandez upset on beam is at least open for debate.I get what youre saying, but Im not going to tell her that. The less that she knows, the better, said Maggie Haney, Hernandezs coach. I saw that she is going to be last on beam, but she doesnt know that yet, either. Thatll be good. Well be in the back gym warming up and shell come out two routines before hers and hop up and she wont know anything. Shes young, her eyes get big, and her head gets crazy. I dont want her to worry about any of that.For all five women, the next week will be about staying focused and not allowing extra energy to seep out of their systems. Although Biles seems as well built and mentally solid as any athlete for the rigors of Olympic competition, even she has admitted in the past to competing on tired legs. Even more important is to make sure shes not competing with a tired mind.Its easy, really, because you take it one day at a time, Biles said. We train so hard for this all year, and thats what we are here to do.Its a script Biles rarely deviates from, but when she and her coach, Aimee Boorman, say they take it one meet, one routine, one skill at a time, they arent being coy. Boorman doesnt allow Biles to get ahead of the moment, so until team qualification was over, they didnt talk about the team final. Until the team gold medal was placed around Biles neck, she didnt let her mind wander to Thursdays all-around competition.When Biles walks into the Rio Arena for each days competition, she doesnt allow herself to look at the Olympic rings. That would make these competitions feel special, and if Karolyi has taught her athletes anything, it is that every competition routine should feel like every routine in the gym.Still, its got to be hard not to imagine, if just for a minute, what it will be like to stand on the medal stand and fulfill individual goals while cementing this team as the greatest ever and the first to win six Olympic gold medals.We saw it happen in prelims, obviously, but we just try to focus on doing our routines the best we can, Raisman said. If you get too caught up in thinking about winning, youre not thinking about doing one skill at a time. Were trying to stay in our bubble. We know we have a lot of pressure on us, but we are making sure we stay grounded and humble and keep working hard. We still have more to do. Michael Porter Jr. Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Chimezie Metu Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticnba.com/deanthony-melton-jersey/ . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Rodions Kurucs Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Mohamed Bamba Jersey . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice.The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Jared Staal to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will pay the 22-year-old $550,000 on the NHL level or $60,000 on the American Hockey League level during the 2013-14 season. Staal played in two games with the Hurricanes this past season. He made his debut on April 25 against the New York Rangers, starting the game on the same line with his two older brothers, Eric and Jordan. It marked the fourth time in NHL history that a trio of brothers played for the same team during the same season, and the first since Peter, Anton and Marian Stastny did so for Quebec in 1985.dddddddddddd. The Thunder Bay, Ont., native had career highs in goals and assists playing with the AHLs Charlotte Checkers last season. He has totaled eight goals and 10 assists in 119 career AHL games with San Antonio, Providence and Charlotte. Selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the second round, 49th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Staal was acquired by the Hurricanes on May 13, 2010, in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
