MANAUS, Brazil -- Carli Lloyd is in her element.Known for making the most of big moments, the FIFA Womens World Player of the Year has picked up right where she left off when she scored a hat trick in the World Cup final last summer.Lloyd has scored a goal in each of the U.S. teams first two matches to open the Olympics, helping the Americans advance to the quarterfinals. Theyll play one more opening stage match on Tuesday against Colombia for position heading into the knockout round.I havent had a ton of chances in these games, but the chances I have had, Ive been ready, Lloyd said. Ive spent the last four years in front of the net just hammering away and shooting. And just kind of becoming a sniper in front goal.The United States, ranked No. 1 in the world, is vying for its fourth straight gold medal and fifth overall in the six Olympics since the womens game was added to the Games. The only other team to win gold was Norway in 2000 in Sydney.The Rio Games is Lloyds third Olympics. The first two helped establish her clutch reputation.At Beijing in 2008, she scored in overtime for a 1-0 victory against Brazil in the final.She was benched before the 2012 London Games by then-coach Pia Sundhage, who liked the combination of Shannon Boxx and Lauren Holiday in the central midfielder position. The demotion didnt last long, however, because Boxx was injured in the opener.Lloyd started the rest of the way and scored both goals in the gold-medal match against Japan.Shes the only player to score winning goals in consecutive Olympic finals. With two goals in Brazil, shes also the only American player to score multiple goals in three Olympics.Lloyd has eight career Olympic goals, second among Americans to Abby Wambach, who collected 10 before her retirement last year. Overall, Lloyd has 90 career goals.Of course, Lloyd is best known for the World Cup final last year in Canada when she scored three goals in the first 16 minutes of the final against Japan. The United States won the game 5-2 for its third overall World Cup title.She has been able to find success in the big international tournaments because of her renowned focus and playmaking ability, but also because of her conditioning -- when other players are fatigued after the grind of several matches in a short period of time, Lloyd is still fresh.Lloyd was sidelined for some 10 weeks earlier this year after she sprained her right knee in late April during a match for her club team, the Houston Dash.But she has looked in peak condition in Brazil. She scored within the first nine minutes in a 2-0 victory over New Zealand in the opener, and then scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over third-ranked France.True to form, Lloyd was already looking ahead shortly after the win against France.The thing about this tournament is you cant dwell on anything too long, she said. Youve got to move on and focus on whats next.The matches Tuesday in Manaus, in the countrys Amazon region, are already sold out. The other is between host Brazil -- with superstar Marta -- and South Africa. Brazil has also advanced already to the quarterfinals, along with Canada.Colombia has already been eliminated. On Monday, coach Fabian Taborda said one of the teams top players, Catalina Usme, had an injured left knee. Lady Andrade and Carolina Arias are suffering exhaustion.Theres no way to know if Tabordas comments were simply gamesmanship.In the other matches on Tuesday: Australia plays Zimbabwe and New Zealand plays France in Salvador. Second-ranked Germany plays Canada and China plays Sweden in Brasilia. The Olympic tournament is being held in stadiums across the country.Vapormax Großhandel .

Air Max 97 Schweiz Billig . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence.Geoff Ogilvy will carry a two-stroke lead heading into Sundays final round of the Australian Open, but he has a raft of big names including American superstar Jordan Spieth on his tail.Ogilvy expressed surprise after firing the low round of the tournament, a brilliant, unblemished eight-under-par 64 at Royal Sydney on Saturday.The former US Open champion is 11-under, with Spieth lurking ominously two shots back after grinding out a third-round 68 despite a shaky start.Two-time champion Aaron Baddeley is also at nine-under after carding a 67, as is Ryan Fox (70) in his bid to become the first New Zealander in more than a century to lift the Stonehaven Cup.In-form veteran Rod Pampling is three off the pace after a rollercoaster round of 70 vaulted the 47-year-old into contention for his maiden national championship.Adam Scott is a further shot back at seven under after salvaging a 71 with two late birdies.Ogilvy made the most of the favourable early morning conditions to go out in a red-hot six-under 30 courtesy of birdies at the first, second, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth holes.He didnt grab another birdie until the par-five 16th, where he moved into the outright lead.The 2010 Open champion iced his round with a stunnning approach on the 18th for a tap-in birdie three.ddddddddddddTo be honest, I didnt really see 64 on the first tee, Ogilvy said.But after going out so well on the front nine I kind of started seeing a score like that. Its always a nice feeling.

They call it moving day for a reason and its always nice being in contention.Nitties (74), along with Higginbottom (66), Jason Scrivener (69) and 20-year-old Lucas Herbert (71) all share sixth place with Scott.Two-time former champion Robert Allenby (68), teenage amateur Min Woo Lee (71) and fellow young gun Cameron Smith (68) are not out of it at six under and five in arrears of Ogilvy.
