With her lucky dinosaur lunchbox in her bag, Bryony Page produced a stunning routine to become the first British athlete to win a trampolining medal at the Olympics.Britain had never had a representative in an Olympic final before so when Page and Kat Driscoll broke that barrier, it appeared to be job done.But Page, whose previous best result was fourth at the world championships in 2010, was not finished there and her score of 56.040 was only beaten by Canadas Rosannagh Maclennan.The 25-year-old from Wrenbury in Cheshire only qualified in seventh place and had to wait and watch while a succession of more fancied athletes failed to surpass her.Page said: My target was to go out there and do my best and thats what I did in the final. Im just so happy about that.I wanted to get into a final and I knew I could do that because thats where I qualified a place for the country at a world championships where I finished fifth.Just getting into the Olympic final, going out the back and doing our warm-up, I was like, Im an Olympic finalist!After my performance I was just so happy because that was the best I could have done on that day, and then finding out Id got a medal, I couldnt hold my legs up, I collapsed and I was crying my eyes out.Then when I found out I got the silver I was just so shell-shocked, its just absolutely incredible.Page has been training full-time for a year after achieving a first-class degree in biology from Sheffield University.It is fair to say not many of her rivals will have split their time between bouncing and twisting on a trampoline and studying dinosaurs.I did my dissertation on dinosaurs and what sounds they made or what we think they made, she said.Ive got my dinosaur lunchbox that my little brother got me. Its a little good luck charm.What did Page make, therefore, of recent research indicating dinosaurs made bird-like noises?That disappointed me but they probably didnt have the vocal cords to be able to roar like they do in the movies, she added, before laughing.Clearly she had never expected to be discussing such matters with an Olympic silver medal hanging round her neck.Pages love affair with trampolining began in her back garden before her parents Sarah and Steve, who were in the stands at the Rio Olympic Arena, took her to the local gymnastics club at the age of nine.To the untrained eye it appears a terrifying sport, and Page said: You have to be a bit courageous or crazy to go up 10 metres in the air.The forces that you go through, you get the same G-forces as a Formula One driver or an astronaut. When you hit the trampoline you hit it with 10 times your bodyweight so you have to go through the conditioning and everything.But in a controlled environment I dont feel scared, Ive done these skills over and over. I love that feeling of spinning around in the air.I just absolutely love sport and I love trampolining so Ill continue as long as I can, Ill be there as an old lady with a walking stick, Ill be on a trampoline and coaching and getting people involved and hopefully inspiring them.World champion Dan Li of China sealed the final podium place with 55.885 while Driscoll finished sixth. The 30-year-old, who just missed out on the final in London four years ago, was left with mixed emotions.She said: Coming in the big aim was to make a final -- we have never had a British woman do that before. So to have two of us do it is amazing.But I am disappointed because I felt like my routine was a lot better in the final than it was in the prelims but it didnt really score much different.We are the little sport that no-one really knows about, we get a bit lost in the bigger sports, so its great that we got a medal. ATLANTA -- Jose Fernandezs midseason visit to Turner Field was highly memorable, but only partially in a good way.The Miami Marlins pitcher helped win a game against the Atlanta Braves with a pinch-hit, two-run double in the 12th inning, then had the worst inning of his career on the mound less than 24 hours later.Fernandez will try for some payback against the Braves on Wednesday night when he is matched against Julio Teheran in the final game of the series.Fernandez is coming off a 14-strikeout game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, when he threw seven shutout innings in a 4-1 win Friday in Miami. He is 11-2 with a 1.77 ERA at home this season as he continues to dominate at Marlins Park, but he is 3-6 with a 4.46 ERA on the road. Of course, that ERA difference is greatly inflated due to the July 2 outing against the Braves.The young right-hander allowed a career-worst nine runs (six earned) in 5 2/3 innings, giving up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning and a three-run shot to Jace Peterson as part of a seven-run sixth.Rough day, man, Fernandez said afterward. Baseball gets you back on your toes.The bad outing was a stunning outliner during a season in which Fernandez is 14-8 with a 2.90 ERA and has struck out 238 (the second-highest total in the majors) in 167 1/3 innings.Fernandezs 14 strikeouts Friday matched his career high. Three of the five times he reached that figure occurred this season.A 7-5 victory Tuesday in AAtlanta kept the Marlins flickering wild-card hopes alive.dddddddddddd However, they need wins from their ace almost every time out the rest of the way.We know how big every game is, how important they are, Fernandez said.Fernandez is 4-2 with a 2.96 ERA in eight career starts against the Braves, but he has a no-decision and a loss this year.Teheran also has been out of character when facing the Marlins, going 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in two meetings this year. He is 5-3 with a 3.16 ERA for his career against Miami.Overall, the Braves ace is 5-9 despite a 3.01 ERA that ranks in the National Leagues top 10. He is 10th, while Fernandez is eighth.Teheran struggled in the middle of the season and had a stint on the disabled list. However, he is coming off three strong outings that included his only home victory this season. He allowed just 15 hits and four runs over 19 innings in the two victories and one no-decision.Everything is working like it was working at the beginning of the year, Teheran said. Whenever I have everything, everything goes good.Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said, Right now, hes back where he needs to be.The teams split the first two games of the series in the Marlins final visit to Turner Field, and the Braves lead the season series 9-5. Atlanta will play four games at Miami in late September. ' ' '
