RIO DE JANEIRO -- A full day earlier than he really wanted to, Australia coach Tim Walsh had to send a runner out to his goalkicker with a very important message: This is for the gold medal.There was no Olympic medal to win in rugby sevens on Sunday, but there was plenty to lose for the Australians.The womens world series champions were seconds away from a shocking loss to the United States in the last group match of the tournament. Emma Tonegato reached over to score in the last minute to cut the margin to two points, leaving Chloe Dalton needing to kick the conversion to avoid the loss.I sent a message out to Chloe before she kicked saying, `This is for the gold medal, so keep your head down and slot this, and she did, Walsh said. I think she really likes the pressure.Walsh said the 12-12 draw with the Americans was was definitely the kick up the pants that we needed going into the quarterfinals.A loss wouldnt have changed the quarterfinal standings, but it would have dented the aura the Australians developed with a dominating run in the world series.The draw was followed by a 24-0 victory over Spain, putting Australia into a semifinal match against Canada on Monday. The winner will advance to a night final against either Britain or second-seeded New Zealand, which struggled to hold off the United States 5-0 in the last of the quarterfinals.With rugby back in the Olympics for the first time in 92 years, a womens team will claim the first gold medal ever awarded in sevens.The Australian players have been living and training together for more than a year to prepare for it.Now, were playing for a medal. Were not happy with a bronze or a silver, we want a gold, Walsh said. But most of all, we want to walk off that field without any regret. Weve created the opportunity, and now its up to us to take it.Tonegato scored the first try against Spain, following up her double against the Americans, and Charlotte Caslick crossed twice, including a solo, long-range try. Both have six tries for the tournament, level with Portia Woodman of New Zealand.Ellia Green, who had to leave the field in the first minute against the Americans after a clash of heads, returned in the second half against Spain and scored late -- a bustling, confidence-boosting try for the fastest woman in world rugby.Yesterday we were pretty well polished. Today, we grinded for our wins, which is what good teams need to do, Walsh said. Tomorrow well be ready to lift it up again and take it to a new level.Caslick said the Australian team had lifted its intensity after the close call against the Americans, when her desperate covering tackle saved an almost certain try that would have significantly altered the outcome.To get through that one, and to know tomorrow well be playing for a medal regardless of the outcome of our first game is pretty amazing, Caslick said. But obviously we came here to win gold.

CHICAGO -- Maybe the Chicago White Sox will change their luck by changing the name of their stadium.No guarantees, though.The ballpark currently called U.S. Cellular Field will become known as Guaranteed Rate Field starting in November. The team and the mortgage company announced on Wednesday?a 13-year naming rights deal.We view this partnership as an opportunity to connect a successful Chicago business with a historic baseball franchise, and we look forward to growing this important relationship over the coming years as millions of fans enjoy White Sox baseball at Guaranteed Rate Field, White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said.The White Sox are below .500 and are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 11 seasons since the 2005 team won the World Series.This is a very solid partner that is interested in helping us drive people to the ballpark and giving us the best opportunity to put the best possible product out on the field, White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing Brooks Boyer said. The revenue generated for our club ... goes back out into the field. This is a nice step today toward continuing to fulfill the vision of putting the best possible club out on the field that can be out there for our fans.The agreement was approved by the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, which owns the ballpark. The White Sox hold a one-year option that could extend the deal through 2030.Financial terms of thee deal were not disclosed, though ISFA chairman Manny Sanchez said the agreement will generate up to $6.dddddddddddd4 million for the authority. He also said the ISFA figures to save at least $15 million, and as much as $20 million to $25 million, in potential facilities improvements as part of a compromise with the team for approving the naming rights deal.This is something that is really, really a serendipitous godsend that we have, in my view, encountered on behalf of the taxpayers of the state of Illinois, Sanchez said.The ballpark has been named U.S. Cellular Field since 2003 after being called New Comiskey Park from 1991 to 2002. Team personnel and fans refer to it as The Cell and, on occasion, Comiskey.Boyer said a new nickname will grow organically and ultimately be determined by fans.We talked about it, Guaranteed Rate President and CEO Victor Ciardelli said. We feel the fans should decide.Another thing: Guaranteed Rates logo has an arrow pointing down. While customers might see that as a good direction for their rates, thats not the way teams want to go.That fact wasnt lost on Boyer, who said the White Sox and Guaranteed Rate are working on logos for the ballpark.Hopefully, well have the ERAs that follow that arrow, and well have the winning percentage that goes the other way, Boyer said.
