SPORTS BRIEFING
FOOTBALL
NCAA won’t re-evaluate penalties for Bush, other
cases — The NCAA said Wednesday it will not re-evaluate
penalties handed down for infractions cases, a decision that
will keep former Southern California running back Reg-
gie Bush from having his 2005 Heisman Trophy victory re-
stored. Earlier this month, the Heisman Trust said it would
return the Heisman to Bush if the NCAA were to reinstate
him for the 2005 season. The NCAA released a statement say-
ing that recent changes to rules regarding how athletes can be
compensated for their names, images and likenesses still do
not permit “pay-for-play type arrangements.” Bush had his
Heisman victory vacated after the NCAA ruled he received
impermissible benefits while playing at USC. The games Bush
played in for USC in 2005 were also vacated because he was
deemed ineligible because of the NCAA violations.
49ers QB Trey Lance, 3rd overall draftee, signs rookie
deal — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance signed
his rookie contract Wednesday morning ahead of the team’s
first practice of training camp. Lance’s agency CAA made the
announcement on Twitter before the team later confirmed it.
Selected No. 3 overall in the draft, Lance will receive a fully
guaranteed four-year, $34.1 million deal. The Niners have the
option to add a fifth year, as teams do with all first-round-
ers. Lance practiced Wednesday and got reps with the second
unit as coach Kyle Shanahan had promised on Tuesday, with
Jimmy Garoppolo entrenched as the team’s No. 1 QB.

Tokyo Games
U.S. women capture 3-on-3 gold
sians and its first medal of the
Games.
Bronze medals went to Chi-
na’s women and Serbia’s men.
Much as they did in the fi-
nal, the Americans dominated
through most of the five-day
tournament. They played nine
games and lost only one.
Plum, who became the all-
time leading scorer in NCAA
history during her four years
at Washington, led the way in
this event, as well. She scored
55 points over the nine games.
In the final, she scored all five
of her points early to stake the
U.S. to a lead it never relin-
quished.
“I didn’t think this was go-
ing to happen,” said the guard,
who suffered an Achilles injury
last year and has been on a long
road back. “I didn’t think it was
in the cards with my Achilles.
And for Lou to get COVID
and Jackie to come in. So many
things. This group kept dealing
with it.”
“Lou,” is Katie Lou Samuel-
son, whose positive COVID-19
test earlier this month forced
a quick shuffling of the roster
and opened a spot for Young.
All four players who made
it to Tokyo are in the midst of
successful WNBA careers. All
made it there after college ca-
reers that made stops at the
Final Four. Dolson played at
UConn, Gray at South Caro-
lina and Young was at Notre
Dame. Of the four, Plum is the
only one who didn’t win a na-
tional title in college.
The gold medal seems like
much more than a consolation
prize.
“USA Basketball didn’t quit
on me,” Plum said. “So, this
would probably rank the high-
est so far.”
When the U.S. game ended,
Plum got in a hug huddle with
her teammates, then they made
it over to the stands for a visit
with IOC President Thomas
Bach.
U.S. First Lady Jill Biden was
at the Aomi Urban Sports Park
for the opener last weekend.
Yes, this foursome is offi-
cially part of the see-and-be-
seen crowd in Tokyo.
Time will tell if the half-court
version of this sport — brought
to the Olympic program with
the intent of luring a younger
audience, and a more diverse
collection of countries, into the
game — turns into one of the
cool kids on the Olympic pro-
gram.
helped build the walls. She’s
embraced — winkingly, most
of the time — her status as the
Greatest of All-Time.
It takes a special kind of
swagger to compete in a le-
otard with a bejeweled goat
you’ve nicknamed “Goldie.” A
documentary series has spent
the last two years chronicling
her path. The acronym for
the post-Olympic Gold Over
America Tour she is headlining
this fall is not a coincidence.
A room overlooking the
massive gym her family runs
in the northern Houston sub-
urbs turned into a TV studio
over the spring. Outlets asking
for a piece of her time came
and went, asking her the same
questions over and over again.
She accommodated as many
as she could. It’s all part of the
process.
Internally, however, things
were shifting. Her perfor-
mances during the spring com-
petition were ... OK, at least by
her standards. Yes, she drilled
her Yurchenko double pike
vault when she unveiled it in
May. She also fell off uneven
bars the same night. During
the U.S. Olympic Trials in June,
she actually finished behind
Olympic teammate Sunisa Lee
on the final day of the compe-
tition, the first time that’s hap-
pened in eight years.
Things didn’t get any bet-
ter in Tokyo. Biles topped
qualifying as usual but an un-
characteristically messy block
on her Cheng vault sent her
nearly sideways off the table.
She bounded all the way off
the competition mat following
one tumbling pass on floor.
She carried so much momen-
tum on her beam dismount
she took three huge steps back-
ward.
Something wasn’t right.
The doubts that have cropped
up at times during her career
re-emerged. And rather than
brush them back, she accepted
their presence. They lingered
when she walked onto the
floor Tuesday for the team fi-
nal. Her warm-up wasn’t great.
Her vault was even worse, as
the planned 2 1/2 twists of her
Amanar became 1 1/2 instead.
This wasn’t the first time she
felt like this. She was a newly
minted senior elite at the U.S.
Classic in 2013. Things went
badly. She fell on each of the
first three events. Then coach
Aimee Boorman withdrew the
16-year-old from the competi-
tion in an effort to protect her
from herself.
Asked on Tuesday night if
there were any similarities be-
tween that long night in Chi-
cago, Biles laughed.
“I was dumb and stupid
(back then),” she said. “I was
pulled out. I wanted to go out
there and compete.”
She’s not “dumb and stupid”
anymore. As she sat down with
U.S. team doctor Marcia Faus-
tin while waiting for her score
to flash inside a stunned, fan-
less Ariake Gymnastics Cen-
ter, she realized she could no
longer push through as she’s
done so many times before.
Too much was on the line both
mentally and physically. For
her team. And for herself.
A gymnast flying through
the air without any idea of
where she might be going is
a dangerous thing. Biles bent
gravity to her will so easy for so
long, people forgot there’s no
such thing as autopilot.

TOKYO — Their scrap-
books and trophy cases are
filled with memories from
Final Fours, national titles,
All-America honors and even
some impressive showings in
the pros.
Now, they have Olympic
gold medals to go with all that.
The U.S. team of Stefanie
Dolson, Allisha Gray, Kelsey
Plum and Jackie Young took an
early lead against the team from
Russia, then held on for an 18-
15 victory Wednesday to win
the title in the debut of 3-on-3
basketball at the Olympics.
“In 10 years, we’ll look back
and say ‘Damn, we did that,’”
Dolson said. “Hopefully we
started something.”
Dolson did the honors
during the medals ceremony,
taking the gold prizes and plac-
ing them over her teammates’
necks. They stood with hands
over hearts during the national
anthem.
Their celebration couldn’t
beat Latvia’s, though.
After Karlis Lasmanis
drained a shot from behind the
arc to close out the men’s final,
he found himself at the bot-
tom of a four-man dogpile. The
game-winner gave his country
a 21-18 victory over the Rus-
Biles
Continued from A5
Biles made a promise to
herself when she came back
that she would be doing it on
her terms. Her way. She spent
much of the run-up to Tokyo
desperately trying to hold onto
that vision. She won a world
championship in 2018 despite
battling a kidney stone that left
her in agony and became the
most decorated gymnast ever
with a five-medal haul in Ger-
many a year later.
Everything was primed for
a golden goodbye in Japan last
August. Then the coronavi-
rus pandemic hit, pushing the
Games back a full 12 months.
And everything had to be reca-
librated.
She fended off depression,
steeling herself to go on. There
was a brand to build. Sponsors
to please. Fans to honor. Crit-
ics — both internal and ex-
ternal — to silence. Much like
Olympic greats Michael Phelps
and Usain Bolt, the 24-year-old
became a prisoner of her own
excellence.
To be fair, in some ways she
