RIO DE JANEIRO -- Britains defending taekwondo champion Jade Jones hung onto her title. Jordans Ahmad Abughaush gave his country its first Olympic medal with a surprising run to the gold.In an action-packed fight Thursday, the top-ranked Jones used an almost continual stream of aggressive attacks that Spains Eva Calvo Gomez was unable to counter in the womens 57-kilogram division at the Rio Games. Jones won 16-7. Jones scored two head kicks within seconds of each other during the first round for an early lead that she never relinquished.The 20-year-old Abughaush won in the mens 68-kilogram division, defeating Russias Alexey Denisenko.The top-ranked Jones, 23, took the gold medal at the London Games and also won the European championships in May. On Thursday, Jones dominated all of her opponents, often scoring first off her lightning-quick front leg, before hopping toward her opponent while throwing repeated head kicks. Her British teammates have nicknamed her the headhunter for her trademark move.Its unbelievable, Jones said afterward. I knew I wanted to be a legend after London. This proves it wasnt just a fluke.After her victory, Jones brought her coach onto the mat to celebrate before the two posed for pictures with the flags of Britain and Wales.Gomez, seeded second, won a silver at last years world championships. She and Jones are longtime rivals and have often split major taekwondo competition victories between them.The womens bronze medals were won by Egypts Hedaya Wahba and Irans kimia alizadeh Zenoorin.Abughaushs victory wrapped up a surprising day of upsets. In a nail-biting final, Abughaush landed several jumping head shots that elicited gasps from the audience. Abughaush beat Denisenko by a score of 10 to 6.Abughaushs success was closely watched back home -- much of Jordans royal family stayed up to watch his historic run at the Olympics. Soon after he received his medal, he got a telephone call from the Kings brother, Prince Feisel al Hussein, president of the countrys Olympic Committee.He told me that the people of Jordan are very happy and crying tears of joy for me, he said. Abughaush said he was very happy to be able to win Jordans first Olympic medal. He acknowledged his rather unorthodox style, saying that while he and his coach had plotted out how to fight certain opponents, certain moments on the mat were improvised.He said he would celebrate his gold medal by going out with other Jordanians in Rio and by singing with them.Earlier in the day, the 10th-ranked Abughaush knocked out second-seeded Lee Dae-Hoon of South Korea before eliminating Olympic champion Joel Bonilla Gonzalez of Spain, who won the 58-kilogram division at the London Games. Lee applauded Abughaushs performance after being beaten by him, raising Abughaushs arm in victory when he was announced the winner.Denisenko knocked out Turkeys defending Olympic champion Servet Tazegul before defeating top-ranked Jaouad Achab of Belgium.The mens bronze medals were won by Spains Joel Bonilla Gonzalez and South Koreas Dae-Hoon Lee.

Air Force 1 07 Norge .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J. MINNEAPOLIS -- Sam Bradford had a Minnesota debut almost as dazzling as the new $1.1 billion building itself, completing 22 of 31 passes for 286 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers to lead the Vikings to a 17-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night just 15 days after he arrived in a trade.He can throw the ball, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. Hes got some toughness about him, and this isnt his first rodeo.The defense did the rest, harassing Aaron Rodgers for five sacks and two fourth-quarter turnovers that quashed the comeback and sent the crowd of 66,813 into a deafening frenzy in celebration of the first regular season game at U.S. Bank Stadium.I dont think this is anything to get super crazy about, Rodgers said. Its a tough opponent, a division opponent. Theyre a good football team. Theyve still got to come to our place later in the season. Hopefully were in a position to play for something then.Adrian Peterson limped off in the third quarter with a right knee injury, and only 19 yards on 12 carries, but the Vikings (2-0) proved they still have a lot of options. Stefon Diggs caught nine passes for 182 yards and a touchdown. They held the Packers (1-1) to 65 total yards in the first half, withstanding an early touchdown pass by Rodgers to Jordy Nelson on a drive aided by two penalties by cornerback Terence Newman.They didnt win the division last year by accident. You do have to give them their credit, said Mike Daniels, who had one of Green Bays four sacks.Trae Waynes, who had two penalties himself, intercepted Rodgers pass in Vikings territory with 1:50 left to seal the victory. The previous drive was killed with a strip sack by Brian Robison, when Shamar Stephen recovered at the Minnesota 44 with 6:53 remaining.Rodgers, who ran for 29 yards and a touchdown, began to find a groove throwing the ball down the stretch. He finished 12 for 21 for 154 yards in the second half, but Bradford was the better quarterback on this night.The Vikings, who aggressively traded two premium draft picks including next years first-rounder to Philadelphia to fetch Bradford after Teddy Bridgewater went down with a massive left knee injury, boldly eschewed a field goal try early in the second quarter.Bradford found Diggs for a 4-yard completion on fourth-and-1 from the 18.dddddddddddd Then he hit Kyle Rudolph for an 8-yard touchdown pass three plays later.When quarterbacks and receivers are on time, theyre very tough to stop, said Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, who was matched up with Diggs for most of the game.Bradford was hit hard on his non-throwing hand by Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews while following through on a pass at one point during the drive. He visited the locker room briefly for further examination but never missed a snap, despite significant swelling beneath his left pinky.There were only a couple of instances that even hinted of newness for Bradford and the offense, when one throw on the first drive sailed well past where Rudolphs route ended and another later in the first quarter was in the air too quickly for Rudolph to turn around.These guys have had my back from day one, Bradford said.PETERSON UPDATEPeterson, who was on crutches after the game and wearing a brace on his right leg, will have an MRI exam on Monday. Zimmer said he was told the injury had already calmed down afterward.He might miss a week. I dont know if he will or not, Zimmer said.TURNOVER TRADEDavante Adams fumbled at his own 13 on Green Bays first play, a short completed pass, when Eric Kendricks punched the ball out and Andrew Sendejo picked it up with an eye toward the end zone. Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb wrestled him down and stripped the ball in the process, recovering it himself. Each team was charged with a turnover because of the change of possession.ROAD TRIPPINGThe Packers played their first two regular season games on the road for the first time since -- wait for it -- 1924. They played at the Duluth Kelleys and Chicago Cardinals that year before returning home.INJURY UPDATEPackers: DT Letroy Guion hurt his knee in the second quarter and didnt return.Vikings: DE Danielle Hunter hurt his knee in the fourth quarter and didnt return.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP ' ' '
