RIO DE JANEIRO -- The sprint canoe/kayak team are hoping the blooding of Olympic debutants Riley Fitzsimmons and Jordan Wood will see Australia return to gold medal-winning ways after a disappointing return in Rio.The 13-strong team arrived in Brazil feeling they were in the hunt for three medals, including defending the gold medal they won in the mens K4 1000m in London.But that crew finished in fourth position, with the only medal coming in the mens K2 1000m through Lachlan Tame and veteran Ken Wallace, who now has three Olympic medals to his name.Team leader Richard Fox said they had hoped for more from the key boats, who race over the one kilometre distance.Overall the outcomes not as good as we wanted, Fox said.We got one bronze and two fourths so its not a complete disaster but its still measured as below par.Germany were convincing gold medallists in both the mens K2 and K4 1000m events which Fox said could be put down to the talent of Max Rendschmidt and Marcus Gross, who competed in both, as well as their strong program.He believed Olympic success was cyclical and with 20-year-old Fitzsimmons and Wood, 24, and the son of Olympic medallists Anna Wood and the late Steve Wood, it could be Australias turn again in Tokyo.The renewal that weve seen in the group is encouraging and thats going to inspire the next group to go forward and hopefully be back in Tokyo with a vengeance, Fox said.Their debut finishing in fourth place is nothing to be disappointed about really in the bigger picture.Fox said a review of the program would consider whether the Australians were focusing too much on world cup success at the expense of Olympic goals, and it would also look to improve the female representation after the womens K4 failed to qualify.We might need a longer build-up to a bigger peak as we havent lifted to a higher level here as a couple of others have, he said.

PARIS -- A man who jumped onto the court with a fiery flare spurting white smoke briefly interrupted the French Open final on Sunday between Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer. The topless spectator wearing a white mask surged from the crowd near Nadal as the Spanish player was about to serve for the second set, leading 5-1. The man had the words "Kids right" written on his belly. Security personnel bundled the man to the ground and quickly hauled him away. Roland Garros tournament director Gilbert Ysern did not dwell on the matter. "I have no wish to speak about it, quite honestly. The only thing I will (say) is that luckily our security services did a great job," Ysern said. "I dont want to give any additional publicity to these people, who, sadly, have a lack of a respect for sport and sportsmen. Its just pathetic." The centre-court incident was one of several within the space of a few minutes by protesters. Police officials said a total of 12 people had been handed over by tournament security officials for questioning by police, but are not yet under arrest. A guard stood near Nadal, protecting him, while the protester was subdued. Nadal took a couple of steps back to get away from the protester and, once the protester had been wrestled to the ground, shook the guards hand before resuming play. The match was only briefly delayed. Nadal beat David Ferrer 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 to win his eighth French Open title. "I didnt lose my focus," Ferrer said. "Rafael, he was scared a little bit. But nothing happened, so its okay." Just ahhead of the on-court protester being carried off, another protester could be seen a row or two back in the stands also being carried off.dddddddddddd Stewards also expelled a man and a woman from the Court Philippe Chatrier after they held up a banner that read in French: "Help! France is trampling on childrens rights." Another man and a woman held up a similar banner in English and shouted slogans. "Today was strange," Ferrer said. Five topless protesters also brandishing red flares and wearing white masks climbed to the top of the adjacent Court Suzanne Lenglen and unfurled a banner calling for the resignation of French President Francois Hollande. Christophe Fagniez, the tournaments director of operations, said: "The situation is under control, its in the hands of the police." A male streaker wearing nothing but tennis balls and sneakers ran onto the centre court and hurdled the net during the 2003 final where Juan Carlos Ferrero beat Martin Verkerk. In the 2009 final won by Roger Federer, a man jumped over the photographers pit and ran on the court, went up to the Swiss player and tried to put a red hat on him. Federer brushed the man aside before security guards got close enough to intervene. After hopping the net, the man was tackled and jailed for questioning. The worst incident involving an on-court intruder came in 1993 when a man reached over a courtside railing in Hamburg, Germany, and stabbed top-ranked Monica Seles between the shoulder blades. Seles returned to tennis in 1995, and won the 1996 Australian Open. ' ' '
