THE GAME’S TOP
PLAYERS HOLD
COURT
IN RIO
The biggest names in the
sport gather at the brand-
new Olympic Tennis
Centre, which will remain
as a permanent reminder
of the Rio 2016 Games.
Five gold medals will be
awarded in men’s and
women’s singles and dou-
bles, and mixed doubles.
Defending men’s champion
Andy Murray and his long-
time rival Novak Djokovic
will likely be the favorites,
as this tournament should
favor the hard-court spe-
cialists. Serena Williams,
who brought home the sin-
gles gold in 2012 (also
winning the doubles tour-
nament with her sister
Venus), should be the
heavy favorite again in Rio.

FOR EMERGENCY DIAL 911
Triathlon is composed of
three disciplines: a 1,500m
swim, 40,000m bike ride and
10,000m run, with separate
competitions for men and
women. British brothers Alistair
and Jonathan Brownlee – who
won gold and bronze medals,
respectively, in 2012 – are back
to try to keep the gold in the
family, but 2012 silver-medalist
Javier Gomez Noya of Spain
hopes to prevent that.
America’s best chances for a
medal are on the women’s side
with Sarah True, who finished
10 seconds away from a
bronze in London, and Gwen
Jorgensen, who had a disap-
pointing performance in 2012
when her bike got a flat tire,
and are among the contenders
looking to challenge
Switzerland’s Nicola Spirig,
who hopes to repeat her gold
medal-winning performance.
