RIO DE JANEIRO -- Only Armageddon will prevent medals from being handed out in the Olympic rowing regatta, according to British rowing chief Sir David Tanner, after another day of racing was postponed on Wednesday.Wednesdays schedule was called off early because of treacherous conditions around the start line, with the forecast painting a dim picture for the rest of the day. This is now the second time since the start of the Games that a day has been washed out, after the postponement of Sundays programme for strong winds and a fault with the buoy system.The schedule is now backed up, but Matt Smith, executive director of world rowings governing body FISA, is adamant teams will complete every race despite further poor conditions expected for Thursday.Earlier in the week BBC commentator Sir Steve Redgrave outlined the doomsday scenario of no medals being handed out if these conditions persisted, but Tanner is confident every race will take place. He did, however, outline various contingency plans to get the schedule through.The last part of the course is entirely rowable, Tanner said, talking close to the commentary booths which overlook the finishing line. There are two scenarios: you are allowed to reduce the distance, and we did it in the world juniors in Athens in 2003. The absolute worst case scenario is that you have a lane that you can use in which you do a time trial.As you can see crews are training here. The challenge is in the bit you cant see at the start, where it is rough with the cross chop.So we would have to have thunder, lightning and Armageddon itself if we werent going to do it [finish the schedule] and we will find a way.Tanner added that the athletes are completely unfazed by the disruption but did say the weather on Thursday doesnt look great.FISA is waiting anxiously ahead of Thursday but remains confident every race will take place. But if Thursdays schedule is disrupted then FIS will start looking into various contingency plans which include going into Sunday, shortening the course, introducing single-lane time trials to decide medals or cancelling some of the non-medal finals.The plans for Thursdays rowing will see FISA make an early call on whether to postpone rowing until the afternoon -- something they originally did on Wednesday before then deciding to call off the whole programme -- with the wind direction and speed expected to be similar to Sundays conditions.Despite the difficulties, Smith says it is nothing compared to one day at London 2012 when rowers spoke of unfair conditions from one lane to another on the course at Eton Dorney.Its much more stressful when we have unfair wind and having to take decisions much more stressful than it is now, Smith said. The Olympic regatta is much smaller. We have been in much more stressful situations, lanes become unfair, playing God with the athletes.Wednesday in London was one of the most difficult days weve ever had, the wind changing direction in the morning such that we couldnt settle on a pattern that was consistent.Smith also spoke of his surprise at the attendances at the rowing, saying lots of tickets have been sold, but people are not showing up. Hes estimating the no-shows at 20-25 percent of tickets sold. Ecco Schoenen Goedkoop .

Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute. Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Yoenis Cespedes provided the power and Eric Sogard gave Oakland a little bit of punch. It was a winning formula. Cespedes hit a two-run home run to help the Athletics end the Texas Rangers five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Saturday. Sogard drove in an insurance run with a safety squeeze that had Matt Garza steaming for a bit. Jed Lowrie also drove in a run for the As, who ended a three-game losing streak. Brandon Moss and Coco Crisp each added two hits. Garza hollered at Sogard after the play in the seventh inning gave the As a cushion. "I asked him if there were any good places to eat in Oakland," Garza joked afterward. Sogard said he couldnt make out what Garza was saying. "We scored a run though," he said, "so hes not going to be happy." Garza (1-1 in the AL, 7-2 overall) lost for the first time since June 11 and the Rangers lost ground on the AL West Division leading As for the first time in nearly a week, falling 3 1-2 games back. Jarrod Parker (7-6) gave up two runs on six hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out six. He ended a streak of six straight no decisions and is 5-0 over his last 12 starts. "After the leadoff double I just wanted to minimize the damage," Parker said. "To put a zero was huge." Ian Kinsler homered and Adrian Beltre also drove in a run for Texas. Garza gave up four runs on eight hits over eight innings. He walked one and struck out five. "They had a big first inning and its always tough when you start in a hole," Garza said. "I thought I made a good pitch but Cespedes is a strong guy and the wind was aiding it because it stayed up there a long time." Sean Doolittle, Ryan Cook and Grant Balfour each pitched an inning, with Balfour picking up his 29th save in 30 chances. Four of the first five As batters hit safely against Garza, with Lowrie driving in one run and Cespedes following with a two-run home run. Moss also singled before Garza got the final two outs. "Sometimes you want to score before a starting pitcher gets comfortable," As manager Bob Melvin said. "You try to get something off a good pitcher early to create a little havoc, and later to score a run." Garza, who pitched in Oakland on July 3 with the Chicago Cubs, allowed runs in the first inning for the first time since last July 5 in Atlanta, when he gave up four. "They showed how they were going to attaack me," Garza said.dddddddddddd "I didnt really do my job but I got deep into the game and gave the bullpen some rest." Garza, who earned the Rangers second complete game of the season, retired 12 of the next 13 hitters he faced. "He was good," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He gave up three runs and gave us a complete game." Beltre singled home a run in the third and Kinsler hit a one-out home run in the fifth to bring the Rangers within 3-2. Parker allowed more than five hits in a start for the first time since May 22, when he allowed six hits to the Rangers in Texas, a span of 12 starts. Moss doubled in the sixth when Texas centerfielder Leonys Martin lost a ball in the sun. It bounced behind him and then over the fence. Sogard, who became the first As player with two sacrifice bunts in the same game in over three years, delivered a safety squeeze to easily score Alberto Callapso, in the seventh.
