He was watched closely by his coach and uncle, Toni Nadal, and Spanish team coach Conchita Martinez.Nadal declined to talk to reporters after the session, saying he would speak on Tuesday.

Organizers are blaming strong waves and poor design.Andy Hunt, the head of World Sailing, says if it was absolutely necessary, we could still carry on competition, but it would just be logistically very difficult.Rio organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada says the new ramp will be slightly smaller than the one that broke. He says that ramp was maybe a bit too big.---1:25 p.m.The United States will have a second member on the International Olympic Committees executive board.Former Olympic ice hockey gold medalist Angela Ruggiero was elected as chair of the IOCs athletes commission on Monday, a position which automatically gives her a seat on the policy-making board.Ruggiero will replace Claudia Bokel, a former Olympic fencer from Germany whose four-year term is expiring at the end of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Ruggiero will join Anita DeFrantz on the 15-member board.

Baserunning blunders shouldnt.Archie Bradley pitched seven solid innings, Yasmany Tomas hit two home runs and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Brewers 8-1 on Wednesday night.The Brewers looked like they had something going in the first.Jonathan Villar led off with a double over the head of left fielder Michael Bourn, Scooter Gennett followed with a walk and then Ryan Braun lined out to Tomas in right. Gennett hustled back to the bag trying to beat Tomas throw, but after a 1:55 review, the safe call was overturned.With two outs and Jonathan Lucroy up to bat, Villar tried to steal third, but Welington Castillo nailed him with a perfect throw.Counsell let Villar, who leads the majors with 36 stolen bases, go out for the second inning, but then pulled him when the Diamondbacks came to bat in the third.It was due to the baserunning situation, Counsell said. Thats just something he has to improve on. He understands he made a mistake. Well just move forward from it.Villar owned up to his mistake and said he apologized to the team before the clubhouse opened up for the media.I understand, Villar said. My bad. Im playing for the team.The Brewers season-high five errors -- three by right fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis and two by shortstop Villar -- contributed to the defeat.I think Nieuwy will tell you he had a bad night, Counsell said. He had a weird night. It wasnt carelessness. The two plays Johnny makes are tough shortstop plays you have to make. It was odd, certainly. But not carelessness.After Villars double, Bradley didnt allow another hit until Hernan Perez knocked a soft liner to right with two outs in the fifth. Perezs sacrifice fly in the seventhh spoiled the shutout.ddddddddddddAfter capping a five-run first inning with a three-run shot, Tomas produced his fifth multihomer game this season when he sliced an 0-2 pitch from starter Jimmy Nelson (6-9) over the wall in right for a two-run homer in the fifth that put the game out of reach.Every time he takes a swing, its dangerous, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. He swings with bad intentions. He looks confident. Hes getting pitches to hit late in the count and hes using the whole field.Nelson left two batters after Tomas shot in his shortest start since going 3 2/3 innings on June 15th against San Francisco.Nelson matched his career high of eight runs for the third time. He walked two, struck out seven and slipped to 1-6 over his last 10 starts.Bradley (4-6) allowed one run on four hits, walked three and struck out six in his longest start since going 7 1/3 innings in a 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on May 29.Randall Delgado took over for Bradley and pitched two scoreless innings of relief.STREAK SNAPPEDRyan Braun had his 11-game hitting streak snapped.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: RHP Jacob Barnes was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness. ... RHP Michael Blazek was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (5-9, 4.93 ERA) makes his first career start and appearance against the Brewers. Hes struck out five or more in 19 consecutive starts, tied with Miamis Jose Fernandez for the longest streak in the majors this season.Brewers: RHP Zach Davies (7-4, 3.64) looks for his 10th quality start facing the Diamondbacks for the first time.
