RIO DE JANEIRO -- Kaleigh Gilchrist is all about water polo right now. When surfing joins the Olympics in 2020, well, check back with her closer to Tokyo.The 24-year-old Gilchrist is a steady attacker for the U.S. womens water polo team, favored to win a second straight gold medal in Rio de Janeiro. But she plans to try for a pro surfing career after the Olympics.Surfing was among five sports approved by the IOC last Wednesday for the Tokyo Games, delighting Gilchrist even if she isnt quite sure what it means for her just yet.I knew they were going to announce that day. I just didnt know when, and my family texted me, `Did you hear the news? Its happening. The surfings in the Olympics. 2020. Gilchrist said. So I was kind of just overwhelmed with joy and you know it just made that long-term goal set and I am going to look for 2020.Asked if she was sure about the decision, Gilchrist left open the possibility of returning to the pool.Its tough to say. I love water polo for sure, she said after practice on Sunday. Its been a few years for me to admit it, but this is my passion. You know if things dont go as planned you never know whats going to happen. Just being a part of this Olympics is amazing, so well see.Gilchrists father, Sandy, swam for the University of Southern California and competed for Canada in the Olympics.Kaleigh Gilchrist grew up in the water, either in the pool for water polo or the beach for surfing. She starred in each sport, but began to think about surfing as a possible profession after she was selected for the USA Surf Team and then won the under-18 Surfing America USA Championship in 2009 and 2010.She played college water polo for USC, helping the Trojans win the national championship in 2013.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Brandon Morrow Cubs Jersey .

BOSTON -- Two teams extremely happy to see the calendar flip to July get together for three games at Fenway Park beginning Friday.One of the teams -- the host Boston Red Sox -- still has a chance to fix things and stay in the pennant race.The Los Angeles Angels, 8-19 in June, have lost nine of their last 10 and sit in last place in the American League West with a 32-47 record. That sounds, even this early, like a lost season.Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox -- 10-16 in June -- are still in position to contend and open a nine-game homestand that leads up to the All-Star break.Both teams have held team meetings in recent days, the Angels after being swept by the Houston Astros for the second straight week and the Red Sox after the Tampa Bay Rays ended an 11-game losing streak with a win over Boston on Monday.The Red Sox won Tuesday before losing Wednesday to end a 2-4 trip.I like this team, I like our guys, I like the way we come in here every day and the effort that we continue to put forth, Red Sox manager John Farrell said after his team was shut out for the third time this season Wednesday. Weve got some adjustments and some work to do in certain areas. But this is a group that doesnt roll over and Im firmly confident in them.The meeting came after Eduardo Rodriguez was shelled in the series opener as second baseman Dustin Pedroia shouting at the pitcher on the mound. Rodriguez was sent to the minor leagues after the game, and the Red Sox still havent named a Sunday starter against the Angels.Rick Porcello and the offense stopped the bleeding and ended a three-game losing streak -- the Red Sox still havent lost four in a row this season, but Matt Moore and two relievers stifled the Boston attack and David Price had another disappointing outing Wednesday.ddddddddddddHanley Ramirez left that game with a right side injury after taking a hard swing but after the game said hed be fine.Just my side got really tight, Ramirez said. I talked to John and were just trying to prevent something big. He told me that, Were not going to put your season on the line. Take care of that and be ready to go Friday.The Red Sox, who have already used six different players in left field, hope to get Brock Holt (concussion) back soon.They wont be getting any sympathy from the Angels, who have already used 43 players this season.The Angels gave up 37 runs in six losses to the Astros.I dont think these guys are taking losing in stride, and thats a positive, but it has to be tempered with filtering out some of the frustration that could easily creep into a clubhouse or a dugout, manager Mike Scioscia said Wednesday. Those guys seem like theyre playing free and giving it everything they have, but the results arent there.Bostons Steven Wright, coming off his first poor performance of the season, opens the series against right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, who beat the Red Sox while with the Atlanta Braves earlier this season but is only 3-6 overall. He was 1/3 with an 8.59 ERA in five June starts with 17 walks and seven strikeouts.Wright lasted 4 2/3 innings, yielding seven hits and eight runs (three unearned) in a loss at Texas last time out. He also surrendered only his second June home run in that game. ' ' '
