Nicola Adams shed tears of joy after becoming the first British boxer to retain an Olympic boxing title in 92 years at Riocentro on Saturday.The 33-year-old was overcome with emotion as she stood on top of the podium with her second gold medal around her neck after unanimously outpointing Sarah Ourahmoune of France.For Adams her victory marked the culmination of a gruelling four-year journey, in which injuries and the difficulties of juggling the celebrity status she earned after London 2012 often threatened to derail her hopes of making more history.Adams said: I dont cry -- I cant remember the last time I cried -- so to shed a tear on that podium showed how much it meant to me.I didnt think I was going to cry when I got up there then it all got a little bit overwhelming.I think it was just in the past four years I have had shoulder operations, ankle injuries and become a European, world and Olympic champion in the same year and I guess I was just reflecting on that and I got quite emotional.By winning back-to-back boxing titles Adams emulated Londoner Harry Mallin, who won consecutive Olympic middleweight titles in 1920 and 1924.After starting sluggishly in her previous two contests, Adams looked sharp from the start against Ourahmoune, whom she had beaten comfortably in their last two bouts.Although the three judges favoured the French fighters aggression in the third, there was never any real doubt that Adams would emerge victorious and she celebrated her hand being raised with her usual Ali Shuffle.Leeds-born Adams will be 37 by the time Tokyo 2020 rolls around, but she remained elusive when pressed about her future plans, saying only that she intends to go on holiday and consider her options.They could also include a move onto the womens professional circuit, or retirement to pursue her other interests, including developing an acting career which has previously seen her make a fleeting appearance on Coronation Street.London 2012 changed my life completely and Im guessing its going to continue after winning the Olympic bronze medal here, admitted Adams.Im still the same person, but I get to go to movie premieres and award shows, meet the queen and receive an MBE. It has been an amazing four years.Its been a big balancing act the whole way through. But my teams been really good, giving me time to do award shows and time to train, so I guess everything else will stay the same. Theres no point changing anything -- its working well.Ultimately Adams path to double gold proved distinctly more serene than that of Mallin, who needed nine bouts to achieve the feat, including two controversial disqualification wins.Her only difficulties arose in a below-par first-round bout against Ukrainian veteran Tetyana Kob, and a poor start to her semi-final against her old adversary Ren Cancan.It was a mark of how much she continues to dominate her division four years on, though, that despite clearly losing the first round of her 2016 semifinal to the Chinese fighter, she effortlessly stepped it up to cruise into her second consecutive final.In Ourahmoune, she was up against an opponent whom she had comfortably beaten in their previous two meetings in Turkey in April and Murcia, Spain, last year.Despite being one year Adams senior, Ourahmoune, a former two-time world medallist, admitted she looked up to the Briton as a pioneer of the sport, and possessed little to suggest Adams double title quest was under threat.Unlike in her two previous bouts, Adams looked sharp and swift from the start, catching her opponent with a long right in the opening seconds, and continuing to land accurate hooks as she took the early advantage.Barging her veteran opponent against the ropes in the second, Adams continued to assert her authority, and she continued to counter accurately against Ourahmounes crude, come-forward swings.The game Ourahmoune battled hard in the third, which she won on all the cards despite appearing to have little success in landing clearly, but Adams edged a scrappier fourth to take the title.Ill always be history-making no matter what I decide to do, added a still-emotional Adams in the media mixed zone after receiving her gold medal.I think its just in me I like to break down barriers and create new challenges for myself, and so long as I can find a challenge Ill be dedicated to achieving it.

Ryan Newman snatched the pole away from Jimmie Johnson with a blistering lap of 187.531 mph around Indianapolis Motor Speedway to set a track record for NASCAR races at the Brickyard. Newman was the last of the 45 drivers to make a qualifying attempt Saturday as Johnsons No. 48 was atop the scoring tower for well over an hour with a lap of 187.438. Driver after driver had failed to knock Johnson from the pole, and the four-time Brickyard winner watched and waited to see if Newman could get the job done. Newman, an Indiana native, pulled it off as Johnson smiled his approval. "You cant count Ryan out, and he put up a whale of a lap," Johnson said. Added team co-owner Tony Stewart, "They dont call him Rocket Man for no reason. He had an awesome lap." Its the 50th pole for Newman, who established himself as an elite qualifier with six poles his rookie season. He set a NASCAR record with 11 poles in 2003, and won at least one pole a year for 11 seasons. But hed been in a drought of late, and Newmans last pole was late in the 2011 season. "I just am ecstatic. Its awesome because its my 50th. Its awesome because its Indy, and its a track record on top of that, so its like a double triple bonus," Newman said. The normally stoic Newman admitted he got emotional on the backstretch of his cool-down lap. "Its more special to me because its the Brickyard, because its Indy, because of the history of auto racing at this facility," he said. "So many drivers who are my heroes, so many drivers Ive admired, so many drivers that have worked so hard in their career to get to here on this day, to be the fastest one, thats whats the most special to me." The drought on poles had weighed on Newman over the last year. "Its been bothering me for a long time," he said. "I feel like Im a driver that can still hit his marks each and every lap and put it all together, and we didnt win a pole last year.dddddddddddd. We were close at times." The 50th pole of his career is good enough for ninth on the career list, and it comes at a critical time for Newman. Stewart told Newman hes not being re-signed for next season two weeks ago, and Newman is currently looking for a job for 2014. "No hard feelings. They made a move, and that move makes me move, and theres no hard feelings," Newman said. "I dont know what Im going to do. Obviously this is a good step in publicity for me on the positive side, so well see what we can do tomorrow." Carl Edwards qualified third at 187.157, and was already seated for the post-qualifying news conference when he watched on television as Newman knocked Johnson and Edwards down a notch. "I felt really good -- second is the worst," Edwards said about qualifying third. "Its the worst to qualify second, and nobody wants anybody to go through what Jimmie just had to go through. We all dont feel too bad for Jimmie, but that was pretty dramatic. I didnt really expect that." Johnson, who on Sunday will try to win his fifth Brickyard and tie Formula Ones Michael Schumacher as the winningest driver at Indy, said his lap wasnt perfect. "I did miss Turn 2 a little bit on my turning point, and felt like I made that mistake," Johnson said. "But Ryan hit all four corners great and got it done. Happy for him. Its got to be a big day for him, being a hometown boy and all. Very happy for Ryan and very happy for our team." Denny Hamlin qualified fourth and was followed by Stewart, a two-time Indy winner, as Stewart-Haas Racing has two cars starting in the top five. Kurt Busch was sixth and followed by Kasey Kahne, Juan Pablo Montoya, four-time Indy winner Jeff Gordon and Marcos Ambrose. ' ' '
