SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- While Formula One leader Lewis Hamilton expects to swallow a severe grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend, Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg hopes to take advantage.Hamilton won six of the past seven races to turn a 43-point deficit into a 19-point lead heading into the summer break.But, after being hampered by mechanical woes during the early part of the season, the British driver has used up his five allotted engine component parts, including the turbo charger. That means he must take on new components, either here or at the Italian GP next weekend, leading to a grid penalty and demotion to the back of the grid.As far I am aware we will be taking the penalty here. I have no engines left, Hamilton said on Thursday. We already discussed engine penalties before and that will come into play, but I will do everything I can to minimize the damage.Mercedes has yet to confirm whether the penalty will be taken in Spa, where a win for Rosberg would give him 25 points and, depending on Hamiltons result, even out the championship standings.Of course Im aware of Lewis misfortune having to get the grid penalty, and thats going to make the weekend less difficult for me because hes my biggest rival, Rosberg said. It doesnt change the pressure I would put myself under.Although starting from the back of the grid all but rules out the chance of a 50th career win for Hamilton in Spa, the nature of the track -- one of the best for overtaking -- gives him a better chance of points than he would get in Monza next week.Hamilton started from the back in China and finished seventh. Two years ago in Hungary, he started from the back and finished third. But he thinks rivals Red Bull and Ferrari are faster than they were back then.Its going to be harder than it was last year or the year before to climb through the field, Hamilton said. Honestly, I really dont know how far I can get. I started last in Hungary a couple of years ago when the gaps were much bigger. Sunday is going to be a lot harder.Chasing his first F1 title, Rosberg has appeared to wilt under pressure over the past few races, handing the initiative back to Hamilton.A third straight year as runner-up to Hamilton -- his rival since they were racing karts as teenagers -- would be unbearable for Rosberg, after winning the opening four races of the season.Last year, Hamilton won here from pole -- five years after his other win -- and Rosberg was second after recovering from a poor start.Stretching through the Ardennes forest, the Spa circuit is the longest of the year at just over seven kilometers (four-plus miles), features famed corners such as Eau Rouge and Blanchimont, an incredibly steep hill, and moody weather that can leave one part of the track damp and another part dry.These ingredients make it arguably F1s most pure test of drivers pure skill, and is regularly cited alongside Japans Suzuka as the race they enjoy most.Unlike another iconic track in Monaco, which is twisty, sinewy, notoriously slow and tough to overtake on, Spa is incredibly fast with more than 70 percent of the race at full throttle and average speeds around 230 kph (143 mph).That will give Hamilton hope of scoring some significant points, even if he does start last.With a bit of luck and safety cars at the right moment, theres no reason why he cant come back through the grid, Rosberg said. Especially on a track like here. New Balance Shoes Ireland . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0).

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Italian Daniele Garozzo stunned top-ranked American Alexander Massialas to win the gold medal Sunday in mens foil fencing.Garozzo beat Massialas -- who was seeking to become the first American man to win at the Olympics in the modern version of the sport -- 15-11 to give Italy its second gold of the Rio Games.Massialas rallied from six points down in the quarterfinals, but he gave up six straight points to Garozzo in the final as the Italian ran away with the match.Still, Massialas is the first individual Olympic medalist the U.S. has produced in mens fencing since Peter Westbrook won a bronze in 1984, and the first U.S. mens foil medal since 1960, when Albie Alexrod won the bronze.Russias Timur Safin took bronze.Few seemed as shocked to see the 11th-ranked Garozzo topple the American more than the fencer himself. Garozzo ditched his mask and ran the length of the piste to salute a Brazilian crowd that had decided to back the underdog.Officials forced a jubilant Garozzo back to the strip before awarding him the 15th and final point.In retrospect, what happened in thee final wasnt terribly surprising, since Massialas needed one of the biggest rallies in recent Olympic history simply to reach the semifinals.ddddddddddddHe cruised to victory in his first two matches before running into Italys Giorgio Avola, who got on a run and jumped ahead 14-8 in a sport in which 15 points clinches victory.Massialas rallied with seven straight points, drawing the crowd to its feet with his winning touch.The highly anticipated semifinal matchup between Massialas and teammate Gerek Meinhardt failed to materialize when Meinhardt lost to Great Britains Richard Kruse 15-13.Garozzo beat Safin 15-8 to earn a shot at the gold medal, while Massialas rolled past Kruse 15-9.Massialas, Meinhardt, Race Imboden and Miles Chamley-Watson, who lost his first match, will compete again Friday as one of the favorites in the team competition.Well all be able to recover and get refocused, Meinhardt said.
