The loser cried too, after she finished her final event, floor exercise, with a routine that was done with some bent knees and maybe a turn that quite completed. The U.S. captured the second major gold medal awarded at the World Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo on Thursday when 16-year-old Jordyn Wieber of DeWitt, won the all-around gold medal by edging out 16-year-old Victo- riaKomova of Russia, who won silver.

The U.S. women already won the team gold medal and the U.S. men won team bronze. Wieber, the U.S. all- around champion, in her first senior world championship competition, finished with 59.382 points, .033 ahead of Komova.

It was an amazing Speaking to International Gymnast magazine, Komova, who had suffered an ankle injury last July, said, vault was not as fully ready as it should have been. My bars were not very well done. My floor routine was mediocre. Today, on a beam I did not make some connections.

Therefore, why the lower Yao Jinnan of China won bronze and another American, Aly Raisman, finished fourth and, like Wieber, had amajor mistake on uneven bars. Wieber, coached by John Geddert, became the sixth American woman to win a world all-around title, joining Kim Zmeskal, Shannon Miller, Chellsie Memmel, Shawn Johnson and Bridget Sloan. None followed up with an Olympic all-around gold. Johnson dominated the 2007 world championships and beat her American teammate Nastia Liukin. But it was Liukin who came back a year later and wowed judges in Beijingwith her elegance that seemed to trump more strength-based gymnastics.

The last reigning world champion to win the Olympic all-around gold was Lilia Podkopayeva in Atlanta in 1996. With results, Wieber and Komova become Olympic favorites along with another Russian, Aliya Mustafina, who won the 2010 world title but missed this competition because of an injury. Also, last week Liukin announced she was making a comeback. So is Olympic all- around silver medalist Johnson, who will show how far she has come this month in the Pan-American Games. Wieber almost came to a stop on a swing on the uneven barsandwas convinced she had lost the competition.

But she recovered with the best balance beam routine of the night to cut lead almost in half. But Wieber finished her floor exercise by taking a step out of bounds.

But it is what it Rosario, a senior, had three receptions for 120 yards against Washington State on Saturday, including a41-yard, one-handed catch that set up the first touchdown. But what Rosario heard about at halftime was the ball he get a hand on.

Rosario ran a fade in the end zone late in the half. The ball was thrown a little short and Damante Horton intercepted the pass. UCLA assistant Marques Tuiasoso- po intercepted Rosario before he reachedthe locker room at halftime and voiced astrong opinion.

AFTERNOON No. 2 Alabama (6-0) at Mississippi (2-3) 3 p.m., ESPN2 The speed limit on the Ole Miss campus is 18 mph (Archie number), but Alabama will be going twice that fast.

Many are coming around to the fact that Alabama, not Oklahoma, should have been preseason No. 1.

You might know that LSU won the BCS titles after the 2003 and 2007 seasonswhen the game was played in New Orleans, and that this titlegame also will be in New Orleans.

Indiana has improved enough this season to be only a 40-point underdog on the road. Wisconsin won last season, 83-20, in Bloomington and raised eyebrows when it continued to throw passes with the game well in hand.

Wisconsin is better this year with Russell Wilson at quarterback, and Indiana might be worse. A win by the Hoosiers would rank among the biggest upsets in college football history.
