导出博客文章RIO DE JANEIRO -- Katie Taylor trudged out of the ring with a white towel around
her neck, and needed time to compose herself and find the right words for her
stunning exit.The star of the London Games, the Irish fighters Olympics lasted
just one bout.Taylors rugged 2016 hit bottom on the brightest stage.The
top-ranked lightweight lost for the third time this year, with the latest one
ending her bid at a repeat gold medal bid. Taylor, perhaps the most popular
athlete in the country, was upset on Monday by Finlands Mira Potkonen via split
decision in a lightweight bout.Taylor had already lost in a Rio qualification
event and again at the World Championships.A very challenging year, suffering so
many losses, she said. Im sick of losing at this stage this year. I dont know
what Im doing wrong, really. I really felt like I was prepared for every
opponent here this week.The 30-year-old Taylor buried her face in a towel as she
left the ring, then fought back tears talking to reporters.She could not have
imagined this scene in London.Taylor collapsed to her knees after winning the
ninth gold medal in Irelands Olympic history, and wrapped a green, white and
orange flag around her shoulders. She later took a slow walk through the
overjoyed masses. Taylor was named the Olympics best womens boxer. She went
unbeaten for five years.Potkonen rocked Taylor in the second and won the round.
With the fighter on the brink of an upset, the Finnish coaches were going wild
at ringside and were nearly as entertaining as the fight.Irish fighter Paddy
Barnes, a two-time Olympic boxing medalist who also lost in Rio, criticized the
judges on Twitter. He wrote, there was no point watching and the judges are
terrible.Taylor, the flag bearer for Ireland at the 2012 London Games, took the
high road in her first career loss to Potkonen.I thought I had the fight won,
but it was a close fight, and congratulations to her, she said. But I should be
really beating those girls.One of Taylors pre-Olympics defeats was to French
fighter Estelle Mossely, who fights later Monday and has emerged as the
divisions gold favorite.The 35-year-old Potkonen, who had advanced to the
semifinal of this years World Championships, said she was scared in the ring
waiting for the decision.Ive lost so many times to her, so this is great, she
said.Taylors loss continued an awful Olympics in the ring for Ireland. Michael
Conlan is the last Irish fighter left from the eight who made the team. He
fights Tuesday.All three gold medal winners from the inaugural womens boxing
tournament in London were back to attempt to defend their titles. Taylor,
Britains Nicola Adams, and American middleweight Claressa Shields all stuck with
their sport, which has grown rapidly in prominence and quality since womens
boxing was added to the Olympic program.The Olympics will go on without Taylor.I
really feel like I should be winning those fights a lot easier, Taylor said. It
just didnt happen tonight, and Im not sure what the problem is yet.

bullpen session on Tuesday and is pleased with his progress.(We were) simulating
at-bats, sequences and not just throwing pitch after pitch, having a thought
behind it, he said. Thats a good step. My arm feels good. I feel the ball is
coming out OK. I think its time to see some hitters and make sure I can still
get guys out.Kershaw will play catch the next two days and then is expected to
