RIO DE JANEIRO -- France bounced back from a difficult week to claim its second team title in equestrian at the Rio Games, beating the United States to a gold medal in the show jumping Wednesday.Frances chances of claiming the title diminished last week when world No. 2 two Simon Delestre had to withdraw from the team after an injury to his horse, Hermes Ryan, in the stables at the Deodoro competition venue.The team suffered a further blow when Penelope Leprevost fell in Sundays first qualifier and was out of individual competition.We had really bad luck at the beginning of the week, but I think maybe it helped us to fight more and more, Kevin Staut said. Last week, it was unbelievable to think that we might get a medal, and for sure not the gold.But we have great players, great horses and were really proud of this medal. The most important thing is the team. Its four riders and we need all four riders to win this medal. Im really proud to be French, a rider and gold medal.Staut once again jumped a clear round, while teammates Roger-Yves Bost and Philippe Rozier picked up only a time penalty each.With the top three scores counting, France knew it had won gold, and so Leprevost did not even have to jump.Frances eventing team also won gold last week.It was Frances second team show jumping title after winning at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal with a foursome that included Roziers father, Jean-Marcel Rozier, who is in Rio.Now two gold medals in the family. Its unbelievable for me and my family, Philippe Rozier said.France finished the two-round competition on three faults, two fewer than the U.S. team of Kent Farrington, Lucy Davis, McLain Ward and Elizabeth Madden.It was a little deflating to go in knowing that we could not beat France, because that was our goal, Ward said. But it was a brilliant team performance.The U.S. was hit by a late blow as it went down to three riders after Madden pulled out on Wednesday morning because of an injury to her horse Cortes `C.We had a bit of a setback this morning not having Elizabeth, Ward said. We always put the horses first, so it was not correct to compete with him today.She has been our anchor for so long. It is a little unsettling when you lose her. But the team had to rally and it was a great performance.Germany beat Canada in a jump-off for bronze after both teams finished on a score of eight. Germany has won a medal in every equestrian competition in Rio de Janeiro.Home-team favorites Brazil finished fifth after all three riders still in the competition had a single rail down.Wednesdays competition also served as a third qualifier for Fridays individual medal round, in which all scores are wiped clear.

BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordon convinced the Cleveland Browns that he wants to make a change, and thats why the team welcomed him back after his one-year suspension.For us its about Josh wanting to make a change, and having the opportunity, Sashi Brown, the Browns vice president of football operations, said Thursday as the team prepared for training camp to open Friday. Weve got 90 guys on the roster right now and hes one of those young men that has an opportunity. Well find out very quickly if hes serious about it. We believe that he is.Well hold him accountable. Hes going have to hold himself accountable. Frankly, lets be honest, theres nothing were going to be able to do to force Josh to change. The change is going to be within and we will support him through that.Coach Hue Jackson said he studied game tape from the 2013 season, when Gordon led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards, but that welcoming Gordon back was not only related to his talent.I know who Josh Gordon is as a football player, Jackson said. What really captured me was Josh Gordon as a person.Gordon, 25, was suspended for the entire 2015 season after multipple violations of the NFL and NFLPAs substance abuse policy.dddddddddddd He was reinstated with conditions on Monday, but he will be suspended the first four games of this season. This will be the fourth season in a row that Gordon will serve a suspension.Gordon flew to Cleveland on Tuesday and met with Brown, Jackson and others. It was the resulting face-to-face discussions that led the Browns to believe Gordon was serious about his return.If the message from Josh and the pledge wasnt consistent with what we want to see from him, we would have made a different decision, Brown said. He wants to make the most of his opportunity. He knows his situation.Brown said Gordon at his core is a good person. He added the Browns were blunt in making their expectations clear. The league also has requirements Gordon must meet; another failed drug test means another immediate suspension.I think that Josh truly understands and believes its about him, Jackson said. He has to do this himself. Hes a grown man. ' ' '
