RIO DE JANEIRO -- Three golds in four days. The Iron Lady sure has made up for her previous Olympic disappointments.Katinka Hosszu won the 200-meter individual medley Tuesday to complete a sweep of the IMs.Amazing, said Hosszu, whose nickname comes from her grueling schedule. I honestly cant believe I have three golds.The 27-year-old Hungarian came to Rio de Janeiro with five golds and nine medals overall at the world championships. But she had never won an Olympic medal, her closest call a fourth-place showing in the 400 IM four years ago in London.I would have been OK grabbing any color, she said.Her fourth games have been a triumph for Hosszu, who is coached by her American-born husband, Shane Tusup. The couple met as students at the University of Southern California.Hosszu shattered the world record in the 400 IM, also claimed gold in the 100 backstroke, and held off Britains Siobhan-Marie OConnor to take the 200 IM. The winning time was an Olympic-record 2 minutes, 6.58 seconds.I dont think I had my best race, but this is what weve been working for the last four years, she said.At the 2012 London Games, Hosszu was expected to shine. Instead, she struggled on swimmings biggest stage.I was so nervous, so afraid, what if I dont win a medal? she recalled. Coming into Rio, I wanted to take it like any other meet. Im really able to just be myself.Hosszu dropped out of the 200 butterfly during the afternoon preliminaries, wanting to put her full energy into a race that encompasses all three strokes.It worked.Having just one gold would have been unbelievable for me, Hosszu said. Having three is really just a bonus.And shes not done yet.Hosszu still has the 200 back and 200 butterfly on her schedule.Katinka is having a fantastic meet, said American rival Katie Ledecky, winner of three medals, including two golds. She has such a wide range of events that shes been continually improving on the last couple of years. Julian Brandt Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Thanks to a surprising comeback win Thursday night, the New York Mets snapped a four-game losing streak, but the result didnt change their approach as they try to work their way through an extended offensive drought.This is how we have to grind right now, Mets second baseman Neil Walker said late Thursday night following a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field.The Mets will host the Cubs again Friday night in the second game of a four-game series.This was a very, very good game for us, especially on the offensive side, Walker said. We got to grind out at-bats, make the pitchers work, got ourselves some opportunities.Walker was credited with the game-tying RBI in the seventh inning Thursday, when Alejandro De Aza scored from third on Walkers chopper to second base. Javier Baez tried throwing out Brandon Nimmo at third, but his throw sailed past Kris Bryant, and Nimmo raced home with the winning run.The rally was keyed by De Aza, who worked an eight-pitch walk against Joel Peralta, and Nimmo, who ended a nine-pitch battle with a single off Peralta.We have to do this, day in and day out, to have some success until we get on a little bit of a roll, Walker said of the Mets, who scored just eight runs during their losing streak.The loss ended a three-game winning streak for the Cubs, who led 3-0 in the sixth inning.You never want to lose a game when you have the lead, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. All losses are pretty tough to swallow, especially the close ones.Still, the Mets (41-37) werent the only ones who left Thursday nigght feeling pretty good about themselves.dddddddddddd Maddon was encouraged by how close the Cubs (51-27) came to tying the game in both the eighth and ninth innings.The Cubs had two on and two outs in the eighth, when pinch hitter Jason Heyward grounded out to end the threat. Chicago loaded the bases with one out in the ninth before Mets closer Jeurys Familia struck out Willson Contreras and induced Baez to pop out to first.It indicates the kind of tenacity our group has, and I love it, Maddon said. I actually love every second of it.The Mets are scheduled to send right-hander Jacob deGrom to the mound against Cubs right-hander Jason Hammel.DeGrom will be looking to earn his first win in two months. He is winless since April 30, a 10-start stretch in which he is 0-4 despite a 3.13 ERA. In his most recent start last Saturday, deGrom threw eight scoreless innings but didnt factor into the decision in the Mets 1-0, 11-inning win at Atlanta.Hammel is looking to snap a four-start winless streak, during which he has gone 0-3 with a 3.70 ERA as his overall ERA has risen to a season-high 2.58. He took the defeat in his most recent start Sunday, when he gave up two runs over six innings in the Cubs 6-1 loss to the Miami Marlins.Neither starting pitcher has beaten his Friday opponent. In three career starts against the Cubs, deGrom is 0-2 with a 6.46 ERA. Hammel is 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in five career starts against the Mets. ' ' '
