She scored a takedown late in the first period for a 2-1 lead.Icho recovered at the last possible moment.I grabbed her from behind, Icho said. I didnt aim at counterattacking at all, it was just natural.Saori Yoshida, Ichos teammate, will try to win her fourth consecutive gold on Thursday.48 KILOGRAMS: Eri Tosaka stunned Mariya Stadnik of Azerbaijan 3-2 for her fourth consecutive world title.

Dosho might be in line to be Japans next multiple gold medalist in wrestling, winning her first one at just 21.AUGELLOS DAY: Haley Augello, the only American to compete Wednesday, lost to Tosaka after a first-round win. Augello, 21, got a chance in the repechage because Tosaka made it to the finals, but her aggressive strategy failed to pay off as she fell 3-2 to Zhuldyz Eshimova of Kazakhstan. In the sport of wrestling, I like to look at it as a game of cat and mouse. If you want to be the mouse, thats fine. If you want to run, thats fine. I am young. I am not as experienced, Aguello said.THE PRIDE OF INDIA: Sakshi Malik took third at 58 kilograms to become just the fourth woman from India to win an Olympic medal -- all bronzes.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Steven Holcomb wins a World Cup bobsled gold medal on home ice nearly every year, and Jamie Gruebel Poser may be following that same path.It was a U.S. bobsled sweep at Mount Van Hoevenberg on Friday.

We literally gave everything we had at the top.And in the mens race, only U.S. and Canadian sleds reached the podium as well -- a rare World Cup bobsled day with nothing but North Americans in the top three spots.Holcomb and McGuffie won in 1:49.47.
