GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Melissa Pagnotta won a gold medal in taekwondo Monday to highlight a strong day for Canada at the Pan American Games. The Toronto native beat Paige McPherson of the United States in the womens under-67 kilogram final. Pagnottas victory increased Canadas gold-medal count to 18 (three gold, five silver, 10 bronze) through three days of competition. "Throughout the day, I didnt feel my best. I had three fights today and I took them one by one," Pagnotta said. "This medal is such a great experience for me. Its my first Pan Am Games. Coming here and taking in the atmosphere -- its just amazing." The first-place finish capped a successful day for Canada with three medals apiece in rowing and squash, as well as a bronze in five-ball rhythmic gymnastics group competition and bronze in the womens 100-metre breaststroke. The national rowing squad claimed silver in mens fours, bronze in womens pairs and bronze in womens sculls. The mens fours finished second in a time of six minutes 5.65 seconds. The team consisted of Spencer Crowley of Lantzville, B.C., Torontos Blake Parsons, David Wakulich of St. Catharines, Ont., and Kai Langerfeld of Parksville, B.C. Argentina won gold in 6:04.41 while Cuba (6:06.51) took bronze in the six-team final. "We executed our start well, better than in the heat. Argentina, Mexico and Cuba set a great pace, and the (United States) moved after the first 1,000 metres," said Wakulich. "With 600 metres to go, we knew what we had to do, and the crews responded to my calls. Im proud of our guys. They put everything into it." The womens pairs team of Sarah Bonikowsky of Orangeville, Ont., and Sandra Kisil of Ancaster, Ont., claimed a bronze medal in 7:32.74. Argentina (7:24.57) captured the gold medal ahead of the U.S. (7:29.05). In womens double sculls, Torontos Elizabeth McCord and Audra Vair of Creemore, Ont., won bronze in 7:16.29 behind first-place Cuba (7:13.76) and the U.S. (7:14.34). In the mens double sculls final, Steven Payne of Parksville, B.C., and Eric Bevan of North Vancouver, B.C., finished fifth in 6:47.76. Canada added a silver and two bronze medals in squash. Samantha Cornett of Deep River, Ont., earned the silver after losing to Mexicos Samantha Teran in the womens singles final. "It was the hardest match on paper," said Cornett. "I was definitively apprehensive about playing it. I learned a little bit about myself today. I know that I can do it and where I want to be. Its not miles away but a couple." Miranda Ranieri of Waterloo, Ont., earned a bronze when she lost to Cornett in the semifinal. Montreals Shawn Delierre settled for third place in mens singles after losing to Colombias Miguel Rodriguez. In the womens 100-metre breaststroke, Ashley McGregor of Pointe-Claire, Que., won bronze with a personal best time of 1:08.96. McGregor was fifth at the 50-metre mark but came back with a strong second half. "I thought my race went really well, I didnt expect another best time," said McGregor said. "I knew I really had to swim hard in the second 50 to get the medal and that was my goal. Its also a really good sign for my 200 as well." Ann Chandler of the U.S. won gold while fellow American Ashley Wanland took silver. Kierra Smith of Kelowna, B.C., was fifth. Canada also won a bronze in the five-ball rhythmic gymnastics group final. The team scored 24.425 points behind gold-medal winner Brazil (25.050) and the U.S. (24.850). Canadas five-ball team is Katrina Cameron of Mississauga, Ont., Alexandra Landry of Ajax, Ont., and Kelsey Titmarsh of Thornhill, Ont., and Toronto natives Rose Cossar, Anastasiya Muntyanu and Anjelika Reznik. "I felt like we were stronger as a team, we just lost our focus at times," Cameron said. "I think everything happens for a reason, so I feel like today may not have been our best day, but tomorrow well pull through and hopefully come out with a gold medal." Mariam Chamilova of Maple, Ont., twice missed out on the podium with fourth-place finishes in the individual hoop final and individual ball final. The badminton team guaranteed itself three bronze-medal finishes with victories in mixed doubles, womens doubles and womens semifinals. Calgarys Toby Ng and Grace Gao advanced to the semifinals in mixed doubles with a win over Suriname. Gao also partnered with Jocelyn Ko to beat Peru and secure a spot in the womens doubles semi. In womens singles, Michelle Li of Toronto moved into the semis with a win over American Iris Wang. Canadas mens cycling team broke the national record in the team pursuit event. Jean-Michael Lachance and Remi Pelletier-Roy, both of Quebec City, Victorias Rob Britton and Jacob Schwingboth of Cloverdale, B.C., finished fifth in 4:14.389 to miss a birth in the medal races. The previous mark of 4:16.816 was set at last years UCI World Cup. "Its fantastic," said track cycling coach Tanya Dubnicoff. "It was a great effort by all (the) guys, considering that they never rode a unit before today. Its a very good accomplishment for the team, for Canada." In the mens 10-metre air rifle final, Cory Niefer of Saskatoon finished fifth with 688.3 points.

The loss dropped 22nd-ranked Canada (0-3) out of medal contention and into the consolation round for positions five through eight.

We were consistent from start to finish but they elevated their game in the third set." Jennifer Hinze of Vancouver led Canadian scorers with 18 points, while Tasha Holness of Calgary added 17.

Nike San Diego Chargers Chad Rinehart Elite Navy Blue Womens NFL Home Jersey . -- A year ago, Flavia Pennetta was close to retiring from tennis.CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Al Jefferson is doubtful for Game 4 Monday night against the Miami Heat due to a lingering foot injury, according to Bobcats coach Steve Clifford. Jefferson, the teams leading scorer and rebounder, has been hobbled since straining the plantar fascia in his left foot in the first quarter of Game 1. He didnt participate in Mondays shoot around. "Hes not close to where he was for the last two games," Clifford said. Clifford said in Game 3 Jeffersons foot got worse as the game progressed and having only one day off in between games didnt help his chances of being ready for Game 4. Jefferson hobbled noticeably Monday as he left the gym after watching teammates shoot around in practice. Jefferson said he feels as if hes "walking on needles." "I wouldnt wish this pain on anyone," Jefferson said. "Its the worst pain Ive ever dealt with in my career." Jefferson wouldnt rule himself out, saying hes taking things hour-to-hour. "Im seeing how its going to feel and go from there," Jefferson said. Miami leads the series 3-0 and can close out the Bobcats with a win Monday night in Charlotte. Clifford said Bismack Biyombo is expected to start for Jefferson. That represents a major dropoff in production, particularly from the offensive end. Jefferson averaged 21.8 points and 10.8 rebound per game in his first season with the Bobcats, while Biyombo has never scored more than 14 points in a game..dddddddddddd. Biyombo has only played 15 minutes in the playoffs and scored one point. Jeffersons teammates said they respect his ability to get on the floor the past two games. "He has given us all he can," point guard Kemba Walker said. "And I think down to a man we appreciate his effort. Hes been nothing but great for us. He has been playing really well and hes not 100 per cent." Said Clifford: "I know how badly Al wants to play. The most upset person about this is him. So its frustrating, but again its part of pro sports." Clifford said the Bobcats will play more five-man basketball using pick and rolls, rather than relying on Jefferson in the low post. Walker, the teams second-leading scorer, will be relied upon to help pick up the slack in Jeffersons absence. "We have to find better ways for Kemba to be on the attack," Clifford said. Jefferson said its frustrating that he worked so hard all season only to injure the foot in the first quarter of the playoffs. "This season has been a great season for all of the things we have done so far," Jefferson said. "We are going into the game tonight trying to win... Regardless of what may happen it has been a wonderful season and guys have a lot to be proud of for the things we have done this season. But we cant take any steps back. We have to continue to build and get better." Jefferson said he wont need surgery after the season. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
