Rio Olympics 2016: Santiago Lange wins gold with Cecilia Carranza Saroli

作者：


Argentine sailor Santiago Lange, who lost part of a lung to cancer last year, teamed up with Cecilia Carranza Saroli to win gold at the Olympics.
The 54-year-old, the oldest sailor competing in Rio, and his compatriot won the Nacra 17 mixed category.
Lange was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and believes he owes his early diagnosis to the sport.
"Probably if I wasn't travelling so much and wasn't so tired it wouldn't have been found," he said.
"I was very lucky to find it.
"My philosophy and what I learned through the sport helped me a lot. With sailing you learn to suffer in a certain way, to go through hard times and stand up and keep pushing."
Lange teamed up with Carlos Espinola to win Olympic bronze in the Tornado in 2004 and 2008.
His sons Yago and Klaus will compete in the 49er skiff class in Rio.
Australia were second behind Lange and Saroli, with Austria third.
British pair Ben Saxton and Nicola Groves finished ninth in the medal race, and ninth overall.

  After suffering its first defeat in the Google DeepMind Challenge Match on Sunday, the Go-playing AI AlphaGo has beaten world-class player Lee Se-dol for a fourth time to win the five-game series 4-1 overall. The final game proved to be a close one, with both sides fighting hard and going deep into overtime. AlphaGo is an AI developed by Google-owned British company DeepMind, and had already wrapped up a historic victory on Saturday by becoming the first ever computer program to beat a top-level Go player.   The win came after a "bad mistake" made early in the game, according to DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis, leaving AlphaGo "trying hard to claw it back." By winning the final game despite its blip in the fourth, AlphaGo has demonstrated beyond doubt its superiority over one of the world's best Go players, reaffirming a major milestone for artificial intelligence in the process.   It was "the most mindblowing game experience we've had so f...
