RIO DE JANEIRO -- Isadora Cerullo got no medal at these Olympics. A ring will have to suffice.Cerullo is a rugby player for Brazil and her team finished ninth at the Rio Games out of a 12-team field, well out of medal contention. When the competition was over, a venue manager walked onto the pitch and eventually got around to asking her a question.The manager was her girlfriend, Marjorie Enya. The question was will you marry me? And as others surrounded them and held red heart-shaped balloons, Cerullo said yes.Unlike the Sochi Games two years ago, where gay rights were called into question over anti-gay laws enacted by Russias government, the Rio Games seem to be increasingly tolerant by comparison. It hasnt been flawless -- for example, homophobic slurs were shouted by some in the stands at a U.S. womens soccer match as the games opened -- but theres certain signs of progress on the inclusion front.Thats what I hope for and I feel like our society is going in the right direction, said U.S. womens basketball star Elena Delle Donne, who came out and announced her engagement last week. Thats not a story. Its normal.The new normal, perhaps.Gay marriage is legal in Brazil, though tolerance seems far from universal. One gay rights group says that on average since 2013, about one LGBT person each day has been killed in Brazil. The organization called Grupo Gay da Bahia calls Brazil the world champion of crimes motivated by homophobia and-or transphobia.I know all the prejudice that exists in society against homosexuals, said 2012 Olympic beach volleyball bronze medalist Larissa Franca of Brazil, who is competing again in Rio. We dont choose our feelings, let alone control them.So far in these Olympics, there seems to be far more cheering than prejudice.Whether it was a transgender model appearing in the athletes parade at the opening ceremony, two men kissing during their leg of the torch relay along Copacabana Beach or the British womens field hockey team including two teammates who are married -- an Olympic first -- it has already been a games unlike any other for the LGBTQ community.A lot of support, Delle Donne said.Thats as the International Olympic Committee intended, too. After Sochi, the IOC required future Olympic host cities to abide by rules that forbid any kind of discrimination, including with regard to sexual orientation.Its in the charter that we dont accept any discrimination on grounds of race or religion and sexuality is now included in that. But this kind of takes it even further, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Tuesday. Its a celebration of that and certainly made me feel good this morning when I heard about the story. So its excellent, excellent news.Cerullos engagement quickly made global headlines given the stage on which it occurred. Enya appeared, gave a rather impassioned and emotional speech about how Cerullo is the love of her life, and the couple sealed the moment with a kiss.That certainly made her very happy, said Brazil rugby player Rachel Kochhann, one of Cerullos teammates. We felt this joy in our group.Outsports.com reported that there are at least 46 publicly known LGBT athletes in the Rio Games, the highest number of any Olympics. British diver Tom Daley won a bronze medal in the synchronized competition, with his fiance in the stands to cheer him on -- and whatever buzz that created didnt seem to overshadow the medal accomplishment whatsoever.Daley came out in 2013 and said hes never been happier.Im at my most consistent, Daley said. I feel ready physically, psychologically, everything, so Im really excited.Daley said the support hes gotten has been empowering, and British racewalker Tom Bosworth can relate. When Bosworth revealed his sexuality publicly last year, he said he was blown away by the support from those who already knew and people he never met.Its actually spurred me on, Bosworth said. Its actually given me more motivation. ... Now I feel like Im doing it for even more people than before.For Cerullo and Enya, it was an Olympic moment theyll never forget.The stadium was largely empty when Enya walked onto the grass with a microphone, volunteers gathered around as she spoke about what Cerullo means to her. The ring that Enya gave Cerullo was a simple piece of ribbon.Gold ribbon, that is. After all, it was at an Olympics.I wanted to show people, Enya said, that love wins. Swell Water Bottle Flowers .

LONDON -- Andy Murray may have had a smooth run at these championships so far, but he is preparing for more of an adrenaline rush when he lines up against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga?in Wednesdays quarterfinal.The world No. 2 hasnt dropped a set or looked troubled at all. Even Nick Kyrgios, the player most likely to give him a fight in his draw so far, turned out to be a pushover on Monday.Tsonga, ranked No. 12 in the world and a two-time Wimbledon semifinalist, should be a different prospect, in theory; at 31 years old he is certainly more experienced than the young and emotional Kyrgios.Big matches against the best players turn on fleeting chances, and if you want to win Wimbledon, you have to relish those moments, Murray said in his BBC column.Adrenaline will kick in, and thats a good thing -- it helps you concentrate harder, move quicker and react faster.When youre feeling good out on court, its as though youre not going to miss and the other guy is going to have to find something special. Thats what the best players do; they make you play those extra balls.I like those moments, they help me focus better.Murray claimed Tsonga was one of the best grass-court players in the world, but his record against the tournament favourite on that surface hasnt been great.This will be their third meeting at Wimbledon; Murray won both their 2010 quarterfinal and 2012 semifinal. He has also trumped Tsonga twice at Queens and in a Davis Cup rubber at the same club last July.In fact, only once before has the Frenchman succeeded in their duels on grass, and that was 12 years ago at a second-tier Challenger tournament in Nottingham.Murrays wish for a real challenge is perhaps to avoid him going a little stale. If he reaches the semifinal he will play either Lucas Pouille, whom he has pllayed and beaten once,?or Tomas Berdych, and their head-to-head record is 8-6 in Murrays favour.ddddddddddddIt may well have crossed the mind of Murrays coach Ivan Lendl -- the player himself insists he only concentrates on his next match -- that he might not be seriously tested until the final. With Roger Federer looming, the danger of some real ring rust cannot be discounted.When nothings really going on in the match, like in the middle of the second set against Nick [Kyrgios], its much harder to concentrate than at 6-5, 0-30, Murray said.Ive played Tsonga a couple of times at Wimbledon and they both came down to a few points at key moments, so lets hope the adrenaline pulls me through again on Wednesday.Tsongas fitness might work in Murrays favour in terms of his progression, although probably not in his hope for an adrenaline charge.Tsonga has had injury problems, retiring in tears from a third-round match against Latvias Ernests Gulbis at the French Open after hurting his thigh.Tsonga also played a gargantuan third round against Americas John Isner?here which lasted for more than four hours. It was spread over Saturday and Sunday and culminated with a 19-17 final set, during which he had to save a match point.Luckily for him, he was extended for just 24 minutes on Monday against Richard Gasquet, who retired hurt with a back problem.John McEnroe suggested Tsonga should be primed for Murray as a result. This was just what the doctor ordered, the winner of three Wimbledon singles titles said on the BBC.He would have been extremely happy that he won like that. After the match against Isner, he wouldnt have had a lot left in the tank. ' ' '
