HONG KONG -- Canada moved up two places to seventh in the IRB Sevens World Series standings after finishing tied for seventh Sunday at the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens. New Zealand brushed aside England 26-7 to win the event and reclaim top spot in the overall standings. The All Blacks, the defending World Series champions, won their third tournament this season in style, running four tries past England to claim their 11th Cup championship in Hong Kong and first since 2011. Canada finished runner-up to England in Pool C with a 2-1-0 record to reach the quarter-finals of the elite Cup competition for the fourth event in a row. And it led Australia twice in Sundays quarter-final -- 5-0 and 12-7 on tries by Harry Jones and Ciaran Hearn -- before giving up a converted try in the final minute. Canada then lost 31-14 to Wales in the consolation Plate semifinal. Wales led 19-0 before Canada got on the board. Jones and Sean Duke scored tries for Canada. The Canadians were without captain Nathan Hirayama, ruled out by injury. Canada finished 12th in last years series standings. In Sundays final, first-half tries from Ben Lam and Tim Mikkelson gave New Zealand a 12-0 lead but England hit back just before the break when Tom Powell burst through to touch down from a quickly taken tap penalty to reduce the deficit to just five points. But evergreen captain DJ Forbes, who had a huge impact on the final day with his bustling play at the breakdown, quickly put New Zealand back in command, stretching the lead after receiving a huge cut-out pass from Sherwin Stowers to score uncontested. "We were given a lesson by England last week (in Tokyo) but here we are on the podium. It feels good to win in Hong Kong again," said an elated Forbes. Despite a second try by Lam being overturned, and the winger being penalized for an off-the-ball offence, the men in black had too much firepower and sub Sam Dickson sealed victory with his sides fourth try. The victory allowed New Zealand to regain the lead from South Africa who had entered the Hong Kong Sevens holding a two-point lead. With two more legs remaining in Scotland and England in May, New Zealand top the standings with 136 points, seven points ahead of South Africa who stumbled badly after losing in the Cup quarter-finals to England, 14-7. Fiji are third on 112 while England fourth on 105. England had booked its berth in the Cup final with a 17-7 victory over Fiji in the semifinal. Fiji had looked impressive in the run-up and seemed on course for back-to-back titles after winning in Tokyo last week but came undone against a disciplined English side. New Zealands path to the final was a 28-5 win over Wales in the quarter-finals followed by a 19-7 victory over trans-Tasman rivals Australia. Japan became the first Asian team to win a core team spot on the World Series when it won the qualifying tournament defeating Italy 26-5. Japan will play in the remaining two legs this season in Scotland and England, and all nine legs in the World Series next season. Graham Gano Jersey . The deals were announced on Friday.

Subway workers in Rio de Janeiro, meanwhile, were holding an assembly to vote on whether they would strike to demand higher wages, threatening to disrupt transportation. By late Tuesday night there was no announcement of their decision. Cam Newton Jersey . Future Hall of Famer Ricky Ray is in his prime and back for a third season in double blue. The 34-year old was magnificent in 2013, throwing for just under 2,900 yards despite missing eight games, tossing an impressive 21 touchdowns against just two interceptions, completing 66 per cent of his passes in the process. Kelvin Benjamin Jersey . The Irish golfer, whose father Patrick died from cancer, says he underwent surgery for sun spots. The 42-year-old Harrington told Irish radio station Today FM: "Ive had a number of skin cancers removed off my face.Zola Budd and Mary Decker come together to tell the story of their infamous clash at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. American superstar runner Mary Decker was shoulder-to-shoulder with her rival, the rising South African challenger Zola Budd representing Great Britain during apartheid.Then they clashed. Decker went down and Budds race was all but over as boos from the home crowd echoed around the stadium. The tangle sparked weeks of debate around the world about who was to blame and the athletes have forever been defined by that moment.Now they have come together, almost 32 years later, for a documentary to tell their stories and set the record straight. Decker is comforted by a track official after falling during the 3000m final in Los Angeles Speaking ahead of their first viewing of the film, they both gave similar reasons for wanting to take part after years of refusing similar requests.To be honest, over the years its like why do I want to?. Its a difficult time of my life I dont want to be reliving, Decker said. New Sky Atlantic film The Fall tells the tale of Budd and Decker at the 1984 Olympic Games But if we do it and its a good enough product, it would put a lot of it to rest.Budd, who was famous for her bare-foot running before the Olympics and later ran for South Africa at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, faced a barrage of criticism after the race.She waas initially accused of tripping Decker and said the documentary was a chance to finally tell her side.dddddddddddd think in the past, Ive been labelled many things, she said. Decker and Budd at Wednesdays premiere of new Sky Atlantic documentary The Fall in London People have a certain narrative of me that they want me to live to. The approach of the documentary is not blaming, its telling your view.Both women now live in America. Budd continues to run and coach young athletes but Decker is no longer able to do the thing she loved. Decker, Budd and Maricica Puica (L-R) during the womens 3000m final at the 1984 Olympic Games They both now agree that the clash was an accident, but still blame the sports and mainstream media for building up their rivalry before and after the race.They were making a story out of Zola and myself before the games, Decker said. We were just two competitors trying to compete. I think the media had a lot to do with the frenzy. Budd poses next to her world-record time for the 5000m set at Crystal Palace in 1985 At the time, Budd was disqualified then reinstated, but the official verdict cut no ice with Decker, who refused her young admirers attempt at reconciliation.Dont bother, Budd was told when she approached Decker afterwards.The pair renewed their rivalry in 1985, Decker winning comfortably, while Budd set a world record for the 5,000m the same year.They admit, though, their careers have and always will be defined by that moment.I think a lot of the sports world, when they think of our names, think of that moment, Decker said.But our careers are so much more than that day. We do have quite good achievements but thats whats sticks in peoples minds.The Fall is on Sky Atlantic on Friday 29 July at 9pm and in cinemas nationwide from the same day.
