RIO DE JANEIRO -- With just seconds to spare, Kaori Icho reminded everyone why shes the best womens wrestler in history.Icho became the first wrestler to win four Olympic gold medals on Wednesday, scoring a takedown with less than five seconds left to beat Valeriia Koblova Zholobova of Russia 3-2 in 58-kilogram womens freestyle.I cant thank my family enough, and everyone else who has supported me through this journey, the Japanese wrestler said.Icho is also the first woman to win an individual gold medal in four straight Olympics, having started her historic run at the inaugural womens tournament in Athens in 2004.Multiple men have accomplished that feat, including American swimmer Michael Phelps.Some wondered if Icho, now 32, still had what it takes to survive an Olympic tournament -- especially after Orkhon Purevdorj of Mongolia snapped Ichos 189-match winning streak this year.Icho rolled to the finals, though, outscoring her opponents 24-1.But Koblova Zholobova wouldnt go away so easily. She scored a takedown late in the first period for a 2-1 lead.Icho recovered at the last possible moment.I grabbed her from behind, Icho said. I didnt aim at counterattacking at all, it was just natural.Saori Yoshida, Ichos teammate, will try to win her fourth consecutive gold on Thursday.48 KILOGRAMS: Eri Tosaka stunned Mariya Stadnik of Azerbaijan 3-2 for her fourth consecutive world title. Tosaka, down to her final shot, got a hold of Stadniks leg with five seconds left for a two-point takedown and an improbable win. I tried to keep on concentrating on the match and I wanted to win so I just (kept going), Tosaka said. Stadnik took silver for the second Olympics in a row. Yanan Sun of China won bronze with a 10-0 blowout that lasted less than a period. Elitsa Atanasova Yankkova of Bulgaria also took third.69 KILOGRAMS: Sara Dosho beat fourth-ranked Natalia Vorobeva of Russia 2-2 on criteria to give Japan a sweep of the gold medals on the first day of the womens wrestling tournament. Dosho rallied from a 2-0 deficit, stopping Vorobeva from joing Doshos teammates, Kaori Icho and Saori Yoshida, as multiple Olympic champions. Dosho might be in line to be Japans next multiple gold medalist in wrestling, winning her first one at just 21.AUGELLOS DAY: Haley Augello, the only American to compete Wednesday, lost to Tosaka after a first-round win. Augello, 21, got a chance in the repechage because Tosaka made it to the finals, but her aggressive strategy failed to pay off as she fell 3-2 to Zhuldyz Eshimova of Kazakhstan. In the sport of wrestling, I like to look at it as a game of cat and mouse. If you want to be the mouse, thats fine. If you want to run, thats fine. I am young. I am not as experienced, Aguello said.THE PRIDE OF INDIA: Sakshi Malik took third at 58 kilograms to become just the fourth woman from India to win an Olympic medal -- all bronzes. I had hope at least that I could win a medal, thats why I attacked, Malik said. I was confident until the win. I earned this after a lot of hard work.

The former FIFA president is in the process of fighting a six-year ban from football over a 2011 payment to UEFA counterpart Michel Platini.Both men have failed to overturn their appeals at FIFA and are now in the process of appealing to the sports highest judicial body, the Court of Arbitration for Sport. And in the meantime Blatter says he will talk to the FBI, Swiss authorities or anyone else investigating corruption allegations which have snowballed since the arrests of several FIFA officials last May on the eve of the organisations annual conference.Asked if the FBI had been in touch he told SSNHQ: Direct contact? No, but they have asked the Swiss authorities to make some questions.I havent been questioned, neither by one nor the other organisation so far. I am willing to co-operate with all investigators in the US or here. Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter tells Sky Sports News HQ he did not pay Michel Platini to stop the Frenchman standing against him Asked whether he was guilty of any wrongdoing he said: I would not be as relaxed as I am.ddddddddddddIf I had in my conscience, really Sepp, you were a nasty man then I would have stopped it immediately. I would have taken my luggage and I would have gone, lets say, to Tasmania.There was a flat denial when Blatter was asked whether the £1.3m payment to Platini was a bribe to stop his long-time ally running in FIFAs presidential election.The Swiss also denied conspiring with disgraced FIFA vice-president Jack Warner to make money from the sale of television rights and said his father would rise up from the grave if he abandoned the fight to clear his name.I fight for me and my personal reputation and Im also defending FIFA in these different cases in different courts, he said.They have asked me in some cases for testimony and in other cases for information, and Ill do it because they think I can explain a little bit what happened in FIFA.
