Great Britains Nicola Adams eased past old foe Cancan Ren in Rio on Thursday and now stands one win away from becoming the first British boxer in 92 years to retain an Olympic title.The 33-year-old from Leeds shrugged off a sluggish first round to turn on the style and earn a unanimous decision win over the Chinese fighter, whom she had beaten to win her historic gold medal at London 2012.Adams will now face Sarah Ouhramoune in the flyweight final on Saturday, after the French veteran saw off Colombias Victoria Valencia by split decision.She will start as the huge favourite to clinch the first back-to-back boxing golds since Harry Mallin in 1924, having easily beaten the French fighter in their last two meetings in Turkey in April and Murcia, Spain, last year.Adams had not especially impressed in her opening contest against Ukraines Tetyana Kob earlier this week and also struggled to find her range in the first against her sharper opponent.But it was a different story in the remaining three rounds of the contest as Adams jolted Ren with a succession of rights to draw level at halfway, and built on her momentum to ultimately emerge as a clear winner.Adams said: I took my time to get into it, I wanted to feel her out a bit and not be rushed. Shes a quick counter puncher but I took my chances.My form is good. Ive got the European and world titles and I want that Olympic title again too -- all in the same year.Adams performance certainly seemed to win over the predominantly Brazilian crowd, who chanted her name throughout the contest and cheered her on her way out of the ring.I guess they liked my style, added Adams. I come into the ring smiling and happy and perhaps thats all they want to see -- someone enjoying being in Rio and enjoying their boxing.Adams will certainly not be complacent against Ouhramoune, who won bronze at this years World Championships in Astana and also earned a silver in Ningbo in 2008.But the 34-year-old will face a huge challenge to trouble Adams, whom she admits she looks up to as a pioneer of the sport.Ouhramoune said: Boxing Nicola will be a pure joy for me because Ive been following her career and she is a great champion.I think Nicola has a very nice style, her own style, and you can see that boxing is in her blood. Ive been following her for many, many years and she is an idol for me.Trevon Duval Rockets Jersey .

HOUSTON -- The Houston Dynamo scored for the first time in a month and won for the first time in nearly two months Saturday, lifting a weight off their collective shoulders. Ricardo Clark scored in the 59th minute and the Houston Dynamo snapped a seven-game winless streak with a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. "We know whats been going on," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said. "We have been peppered with questions over the last couple weeks about not winning. This is a proud group, and we get a little annoyed by it. ... Any time you win -- whether it is a great win or the teams played poorly and you get a little lucky -- you walk off the field with a little enjoyment out of it." Houston (7-6-5) had not won since beating D.C. United 4-0 on May 8. "Its nice to get one," said Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who finished with three saves. "Sometimes it is not pretty in the end. I dont think we finished the game great. You look at it, its three points and we havent had that in a while. We walk away with smiles on our faces." Clark also put an end to Houstons franchise record 388-minute scoreless streak when he headed in Jermaine Taylors cross from the left sideline from 8 yards out. Clark said Taylors service on the goal was right where he needed it to be, and he was trying to make the most of it. "Its three points," Clark said. "At the end of the day, tthat is all we wanted.dddddddddddd We could have finished a couple more chances." Houston had not scored since Warren Creavalles goal at Columbus on June 1. The Dynamos previous record scoreless streak was 273 minutes in May 2007. "It just gives us our confidence and gets us back to our winning ways," Houston forward Giles Barnes said. "It gets us back up the table and puts pressure on everyone on top of us. Obviously, when you start scoring and obviously we had more chances, so the mood was a lot different." Philadelphia (7-6-6) had its five-game unbeaten streak snapped, dropping its first game since losing 5-3 at Montreal on May 25. "Youre going to win some, and youre going to lose some, especially when you try to play in these kind of conditions, third game in eight days, its just tough," Philadelphia coach John Hackworth said. "So, thought our team put out a fantastic effort, just wasnt there tonight." Philadelphias best chance came before halftime when Hall stopped Aaron Wheelers shot from the left box and Conor Caseys rebound attempt went high. Casey said the Union did not establish what they wanted to do, and in the end, they didnt do enough to get a result. "Today just wasnt a very good day in general, but I think the past month weve played pretty consistent," Casey said. "So, just get back to what we were doing and take it from there." ' ' '
