Rio 2016s organisers have been forced to resort to Plan C for the marathon swimming event which starts on Monday.Britains Keri-Anne Payne and her 25 competitors will begin the 10-kilometre swim from Fort Copacabana by walking into the water from the beach and then starting in a line.This is because the original starting pontoon was swept away in the waves and ended up on the beach on Friday night, and organisers have been unable to secure their replacement pontoon over the weekend.Given the uncertainty, world swimmings governing body FINA asked Rio 2016 to make the change on Sunday afternoon.Starting from the beach is what Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada described on Saturday as Plan C, when he said even the best laid plans are vulnerable to acts of God and nature.The 28-year-old Payne won a silver medal in the first Olympic open-water event in Beijing but finished an agonising fourth in London.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan each scored as the U.S. womens soccer team defeated New Zealand 2-0 in its debut at the Rio Games on Wednesday, getting off to a solid start in its attempt to win a fourth straight Olympic gold medal.Lloyd put the Americans ahead with a header in the ninth minute and Morgan added to the lead with a low shot from inside the area less than a minute into the second half at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.That was the best way we could have started, said Tobin Heath, who made the cross that led to Lloyds goal. We came out with a lot of energy and a lot of determination. I think in that regards we put our best foot forward and got that goal and I think that helped propel us throughout the game.The U.S. dominated from the start to earn the convincing victory and remain unbeaten in 2016, with 14 shutouts and only one draw in 16 games.I was really pleased that we got the clean sheet, U.S. coach Jill Ellis said. I thought we moved the ball against a very determined team.Near the end of the game, many of the nearly 10,000 fans at the stadium chanted Zika, Zika at goalkeeper Hope Solo, who before coming to the Olympics upset some Brazilians by tweeting a photo of herself wearing a hat with mosquito netting in a reference to the virus. The chants were repeated after the final whistle.Im glad the fans had fun, Solo said. And if they had fun at my expense, more power to them.The Americans are trying to become the first team to win the Olympics after succeeding at the World Cup. The Olympic tournament is the first major competition for the U.S. since the retirement of key players such as Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday following last years world title in Canada.The revamped Americans next play France on Saturday, again at the Mineirao.France and Colombia play the other Group G match later Wednesday, also in Belo Horizonte.New Zealand, playing in its third consecutive Olympics, barelyy threatened the U.ddddddddddddS. at the Mineirao, which holds more than 60,000 spectators.Lloyd opened the scoring after Heath beat a couple of defenders just outside the area before making a cross to the far post, where the U.S. captain outjumped a defender to head the ball into the other corner and score her seventh Olympic goal. Lloyd has scored in three straight Olympics, including in the finals both in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London.It was the 89th goal in 225 appearances for the midfielder, who is the most-capped player at the Olympic tournament. She has 13 Olympic appearances, tied with Solo for the most on the team.Morgan scored the second goal with a low shot by the near post after receiving a pass by Morgan Brian inside the area. It was Morgans 12th goal of the year, and fifth at Olympic tournaments.The U.S. is trying to win its fifth gold medal since womens soccer became an Olympic sport in 1996 in Atlanta. The only time it didnt win the Olympics was in 2000 in Sydney, when it lost the final to Norway.The Americans have a fresh team with 11 Olympic newcomers, although many who made it to Rio were in the World Cup-winning squad in Canada last year.In addition to playing with a younger team, the U.S. arrived in Rio with some players recovering from injuries, including regular starter Megan Rapinoe, who was on the bench the entire match on Wednesday.Mallory Pugh, 18, started the game to become the youngest American womens player to start in an Olympic match.The U.S. announced earlier Wednesday that its first two friendlies after the Olympics will be against Thailand on Sept. 15 in Columbus, Ohio, and against the Netherlands on Sept. 18 in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку!.
