COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- A defensive approach is beginning to pay dividends for the Colorado Rapids. "We always knew that we had to be a good defence," coach Oscar Pareja said. "We knew that if we played good defence, we would find ways to score goals." The blueprint was in play in a 2-0 win over Chivas USA on Saturday night. "Our defence was one of our weaknesses we had last year," Pareja said. "What we put in our players minds was that we needed to defend better, be solid defensively and the goals would come." Atiba Harris scored in the 11th minute and Nathan Sturgis added a late goal for Colorado (5-4-4), which extended its unbeaten streak to five matches (3-0-2). "Defence is what you build your team off of," Sturgis said. "You try to finish (your scoring chances) and the last couple of games we have put teams away." The Rapids are unbeaten in six home games against Chivas USA, and have eight wins and two ties in their last 10 against the Los Angeles club overall since losing on March 21, 2009. Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin is 5-2-4 with five shutouts since taking over for injured Matt Pickens, who is out several months because of a broken right forearm. Chivas USA (3-6-2) has been outscored 13-1 in four straight losses. "Weve had a lot of roster moves to make and these arent my players," said Chivas coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola. "One player plays a 4-4-2 and another plays a different system and it will take time." Neither team had a shot on goal until Christopher Klute found Harris behind the defence in the 11th minute. The defences dominated play for most of opening half. Chivas USAs offence came alive over a seven-minute stretch, getting free for several shots. Gabriel Farfan broke free from just outside the penalty box, but had his shot sail into the stands in the 22nd minute. Bobby Burlings shot went off the side of the goal and Farfan had a shot easily handled by Irwin, who made only one save in the half. Colorado was aggressive enough to draw fouls and two yellow cards in the waning moments of the half. Scoring chances remained at a premium in the second half. Deshorn Brown broke free for a shot that was deflected wide of the right post in the 56th minute Irwin made an easy save on a shot by Eric Avila in the 69th. Brown set up Sturgis goal in the 78th minute. The win completed a season series sweep by the Rapids, who also won the April 13th meeting 1-0. "We have given up too many goals in as many weeks and it hasnt been good for us," Burling said. "It is a tough stretch and only the people in the locker room can change it."

Who knew a simple statement about that time of the month could cause such a stir?A Chinese Olympic swimmer whose popularity soared during the Rio Games for her animated facial expressions and rare candor has become a social media sensation for another off-the-cuff comment about a topic still considered taboo in China: her period.Twenty-year-old Fu Yuanhui emerged from the womens 4x100-meter medley relay last week and told a Chinese state broadcaster that she failed to swim her best in part because her period had started the day before. Television footage showed her crouching down with her hand over her stomach. Team China finished fourth in the race.The interview quickly trended on Chinese social media sites, where users expressed surprise -- and some admiration -- that Fu had shared such an intimate matter but also that she swam while menstruating. Said one blogger: If her candor can dispel the thought in some peoples minds that menstruation is dirty, then her act is worth applause.In China, menstruation is considered an off-limits topic of conversation, a reflection of conservative views about womens bodies and sex. Its an issue stemming from demonizing sex, said one woman on the Chinese question-and-answer internet site Zhihuu.dddddddddddd Therefore, a well-educated girl should not think about anything related to sex.There is also a long-held notion in China that women should not engage in exercise during menstruation. Girls are excused from physical education class at school and warned about taking showers, drinking cold water and eating raw fish during ones period. Immersion in water, the stories go, may cause infection.And because tampons are unusual in the communist nation -- there is a belief they can compromise the virginity of unmarried women -- the idea that someone could swim during that time of the month is entirely novel.Such ideas, while wrong, are something all women endure in China, said Wang Yuling, a gynecologist in Shanghai Huangpu District Health Center for Women and Children.If you have so many limitations during the period, Wang said, you could waste one-sixth of the year by thinking in this way.Fu, a bronze medal winner in the 100-meter backstroke, is just one of several athletes on the Chinese team breaking ground by breaking from the typical on-message style common with past Chinese Olympic squads.
