RIO DE JANEIRO -- Venus Williams wont reveal where she keeps her Olympic medals. Its always my secret, she says. But underwear drawer or trophy room, the five of them -- four gold, one silver -- is a total that signifies something only one other player has ever done. More so, it highlights the longevity that has characterized Williams career.The only other player to win as many medals as Williams was Great Britains Kitty McKane, who did it over two Olympics in 1920 and 1924. It should also be noted that when the 36-year-old Williams, who first struck gold at the 2000 Games, was asked Sunday whether she might consider the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she did not spit out her water.God willing, I imagine if I really want to be there, I could, said the five-time Olympian. Tokyo is about if I really want to be there, and if I want to continue to work this hard. Its a lot of hard work, and I will want to have to do the work. So well see.Williams and her partner in the Rio event, Rajeev Ram, certainly did the work Sunday, despite losing the gold-medal mixed-doubles match to fellow Americans Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock, 6-7 (3), 6-1, (10-7), the latter score a 10-point tiebreaker, which is used in three of the four Grand Slam tournaments.Williams came into the tournament with a virus and lost in the first round of singles and doubles with sister Serena. Ram was summoned to join Venus just a few days before opening ceremonies, when defending mens doubles gold medalists Bob and Mike Bryan withdrew.It wasnt a tough choice to come to Rio, said Ram, who had to skip the Atlanta Open. No, the Olympics is something that only comes around every four years, and Atlanta comes around a lot. I was happy to skip that one.Ram, 32, who has known Venus throughout their careers and is coming off a Wimbledon semifinal finish in doubles, was happy to stick around Rio after losing with partner Brian Baker in mens doubles in the second round. Venus was equally as delighted to help the first-time Olympian win a silver medal.Its been an amazing partnership, she said. We really couldnt have asked for more. I mean we played a real good match. We faced a lot of great opponents. Its nice to be sitting right here with him.It was the second one-two finish in this event for the U.S. since 1924, when Hazel Wightman and Richard Williams defeated Marion Jessup and Vincent Richards.Mattek-Sands, like Sock, is a first-time Olympian. She talked about the goosebumps she experienced while waiting in the tunnel for the opening ceremonies to begin when the Americans began a USA, USA chant.We are with the greatest athletes representing your country, said Mattek Sands, a four-time Grand Slam titlist in doubles and mixed. It didnt matter if it was long-distance running, swimming, track or tennis, everyone was there chanting USA! You cant compare any Grand Slam to that. ... I dont think its even comparable.Sock came to Rio with a case of walking pneumonia. But before striking gold Sunday, he and Steve Johnson won bronze in mens doubles.Theres just something about being part of a team, Sock said. Tennis is such an individual sport, and the feeling that you get here is like no other.At 23, Sock was the only one of the finals participants who couldnt remember Venus earliest days on tour, but he did grow up watching her and received a few lessons Sunday.To be across the net from her was an incredible experience, Sock said. I thought my forehand was good before today. Some guys usually get intimidated by my forehand. And she was stepping up and smashing it with her backhand. So Im ready to go back to the practice court and work on some things.As for Venus, she can take a good amount of solace knowing how her Rio campaign ended.Its been an amazing experience, five Olympics for me, said Venus, who will move on to the US Open with a No. 6 world ranking in singles, her highest since early 2011. Its surreal that I even came out with any hardware at all. Its so well-contested here, every single one.All I can say is that its been beyond my dreams, she said. There is so much pressure, and when you can cross the line in any sort of way, it feels great.All those ruling out Tokyo 2020 might want to think again. Wholesale Jerseys Store .

Wholesale Jerseys From China . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.Peter Moores believes England will name their strongest side for their first one-day international against South Africa, and leave Jason Roy out. Roy is a doubt for the game as he is suffering from a back spasm, and current head coach Trevor Bayliss will leave his selection for the opening match at Bloemfontein until the last minute.Moores, who preceded Bayliss in the top England job, feels there is enough depth in the squad to compensate for the potential absence of Roy - and is not convinced the Surrey batsman should be selected anyway. Hell want (Jason) Roy fit and hes in a lovely position, which is also a hard position, of having one too many batsmen, Moores told Sky Sports News HQ. Bob Willis picks his strongest England T20 squad for next years tournament Roy and (Alex) Hales have done well up front, James Taylor has done well in the middle and (Joe) Root and (Ben) Stokes are definitely going to come back in, although they could rest those two.Theyve had a lot of cricket and Trevor will be thinking this is a good position for him. Youve had AB de Villiers left out of the South Africa team because he was fatigued.But on the other hand, Stokes and Root are definitely going to want to play, and theyre in your best team so I think theyre going to go iin.ddddddddddddf Jason doesnt make it then its going to delay making that decision until further down the line. Roy talks about his breakthrough hundred in the last ODI and keeping the momentum going into the T20s Moores also feels England have good depth in the bowling department, where he feels Chris Jordan of Sussex may miss out in favour of two left-handed seamers, and Adil Rashid should be given more match time to build his growing confidence.I think he (Jordan) might struggle to get in, said Moores. I think the two left-armers, (David) Willey and (Reece) Topley, will get in and then its whether they go for (Chris) Woakes or have a look at Stuart Broad, to get wickets at the top of the order.Adil will play, or at least I hope he will, then if Jason doesnt make it youve got the two spinners in the side with Moeen there too.He played very well in the Big Bash and hes a confidence player that is growing in confidence. Theyll want to see him keep going because he could be a key player for us in the T20 World Cup.
