RIO DE JANEIRO -- Anna Korakaki took a deep breath and let it out slowly.She had been one point from an Olympic gold medal, leading 6-0, in the womens 25-meter pistol final on Tuesday but began to choke. She hit a wrong target and missed one completely, allowing Monika Karsch of Germany to draw level at 6-6.Her father and coach, Tasos Korakakis, sitting not far behind, couldnt bear to watch, preferring to look at the floor, his pants, the hands in his lap.Karsch started the seventh five-shot series hitting the wrong target, and Korakaki retook the lead going to the last shot. Korakaki hit, paused, and jumped up and down when she realized she won.Im the happiest person on Earth but I cant find the words in English, in Greek or French to describe my feelings, said the 20-year-old Korakaki, who also won bronze in the 10-meter air pistol.She did admit to becoming a bit stressful after winning the first three series of the final, and knowing gold was virtually in her grasp.And when she teared up on the podium while listening to her national anthem, she said that was about relief and payback.Korakaki said she was close to quitting shooting three years ago, at 17, because she and her father were in an open war with the Hellenic Shooting Federation, particularly in the last two years.She blamed the problem on the behavior and attitudes by people of my federation ever since she made the national team at 14.I cried listening to the national anthem, because at that moment, all the difficulties went through my mind, she said. I really felt like I made it, against everybody, against every hard situation, against everyone trying to bring me down. Thats why I cried, it was a mental release.That she managed to win a gold and bronze in her first games, Greeces first Olympic medals in shooting in 96 years, she credited to my will, my strength, my motivation from my family, my friends, and hard work.Korakaki was second after qualifying, behind only top-ranked Zhang Jingjing of China. Zhang shot an Olympic qualifying record of 592, beating by one the mark of 2012 champion Kim Jangmi of South Korea.Kim failed by one place to qualify for the eight-women semifinals on a countback. The 2008 champion, Chen Ying of China, also missed out.Nino Salukadze of Georgia, the 1988 Olympic champion in her eighth games, rolled back the years to qualify third, but started badly in the semifinals and couldnt recover.Neither, surprisingly, could Zhang, the world champion. She had to rally late in the semifinals, but managed to make only the bronze-medal match. She hit all five targets in the first series against Heidi Diethelm Gerber, but faded and the Swiss clinched bronze on her second-to-last shot of their sixth series.The semifinals guaranteed a new Olympic champion, and Korakaki, more relaxed after winning the bronze, ultimately earned it. Despite the problems with her federation, shell keep on shooting.Im dreaming of more medals, she said, more European medals, more World Cup medals, and, why not, more Olympic medals.

CINCINNATI -- BYU enjoyed the chance to simply grind one out.Taysom Hill set up his touchdown scramble with a long flea-flicker completion, and BYU pulled away to a 20-3 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday despite losing running back Jamaal Williams for much of the second half.People say a 20-3 game isnt exciting, but thats my kind of excitement, BYU coach Kalani Sitake said.Williams got his right foot twisted on a run to the 1-yard line early in the third quarter and limped off the field. Squally Canada took over and carried it the final yard for a 17-3 lead. BYUs career rushing leader returned in the fourth quarter and finished with 92 yards on 25 carries.BYU (5-4) has won four of its last five games.Cincinnati (4-5) didnt get much out of its offense with Gunner Kiel back at quarterback for the third straight game. The Bearcats managed only 185 yards in the first three quarters while the Cougars took control. Cincinnati hasnt scored a touchdown in its last six quarters.The Bearcats have lost four of five.Everybodys talking about getting to a bowl game, Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville said. I just want to get a touchdown. We are struggling big-time.Hill put the Cougars ahead to stay just before halftime. He completed a 43-yard pass to Johan Trinnaman off a flea-flicker with 48 seconds left. Three plays later, he scrambled 8 yards for a 10-3 lead. Hill was 15 of 25 for 130 yards, and he ran 12 times for 75 yards.When we run the ball like that, were hard to beat, Hill said. On the flea-flicker, the safety bit on the run. After that we were able to run the ball better.Cincinnati never threeatened in the second half.dddddddddddd The Bearcats converted only four of 13 third downs, unable to put together drives.Its who game-plans better, and they did a better job on third down, Cincinnati running back Tion Green said. They just got us on third down.STOPPING `EMIt was the first time that BYU held a team without a touchdown since a 64-0 win over Savannah State in 2014. The Cougars defense essentially sealed the win when it stopped Green for no gain on fourth-and-2 at the BYU 37-yard line in the fourth quarter. The Cougars added a field goal in the final minutes.THE TAKEAWAYBYU: It was a rare, comfortable win for the Cougars, who have had six games decided by three points or less. Another game was lost in overtime.Cincinnati: Kiel went 19 of 32 for 199 yards with a costly interception. He threw directly to Austin McChesney at the BYU 10-yard line on the Bearcats second possession of the game.We have not seen a whole lot of improvement on offense the last three games, Tuberville said. Weve tried it all. Weve tried every quarterback. Weve tried every running back.UP NEXTBYU: Cougars host Southern Utah next Saturday, the first of three home games to end the season. They also host Massachusetts and Utah State.Cincinnati: Bearcats are at Central Florida next Saturday as they return to American Athletic Conference play. They finish at home against Memphis and at Tulsa.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25. ' ' '
