The face at the top of U.S. womens gymnastics will change next month when longtime national team coordinator Martha Karolyi retires following the Summer Olympics.The address that doubles as the programs heartbeat will not.USA Gymnastics has reached an agreement with Karolyi and husband Bela to purchase the training facility the couple owns in Huntsville, Texas. Financial terms were not disclosed, but a closing date of Aug. 24 has been set, just three days after the closing ceremony in Rio de Janeiro and five days before Martha Karolyis 74th birthday.It has everything we could possibly ask for, USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny told The Associated Press. Along with what it represents to our heart and soul, as a physical facility, we couldnt go out and build it. Its been custom made what for what we want and need. You add up all the elements and its like `Dang, what an easy decision.The Karolyis established the rustic estate in Sam Houston National Forest about an hour north of Houston in 1983, eventually expanding it to 2,000 acres. USA Gymnastics is buying 36.2 acres, including three training gyms, housing for up to 300 athletes and coaches as well as a dance studio, dining hall, medical and rehab facilities and recreational areas. The facility will also get a new name: the USA Gymnastics Athlete Development Center at the Karolyi Ranch.The Karolyis will keep their residence, a hunting lodge Bela Karolyi built and the remaining acreage. USA Gymnastics will have right of first refusal if the Karolyis decide in the future to sell off other parcels of land.The USA Gymnastics board of directors unanimously approved the sale, pointing to the amenities, the location and the unique aspects of the ranch -- which includes a vast array of wildlife from camels to peacocks -- that have helped turn the womens national team into an international powerhouse. The five-woman team Karolyi will lead to Brazil next month is heavily favored to back up the team gold medal it won with ease in London four years ago.This place has stood the test of time, Penny said. There are things we have to make sure we do a little bit differently, we have to fix some things. Nothing that is going to require significant work. Its sturdy. Its a sturdy place to be.Karolyi announced her decision to step down after the Rio Games last summer. The Karolyis are expected to maintain a presence at the ranch, and USA Gymnastics is considering turning an older portion of the main gym -- one lined with pictures, medals and trophies from major competitions dating back to the 1980s -- into a museum to honor the Karolyi legacy.They are still a part of us, Penny said. They will always be a part of USA Gymnastics. Theyre still both going to play vital roles for us in the future. Martha will always want to drift into the gym and well always want her to do that.Bela Karolyi joked the sale means freedom for him to do as he pleases on the ranch while his wife of 54 years travels to visit family in her native Romania. Though the deal has been in the works for a while, the formal exchange of power will mark the end of an era. The Karolyis defected from Romania to the U.S. in 1981 and the ranch played a vital part in the U.S.s rise from also-ran to dominant force.The Karolyis have pledged to donate $250,000 to USA Gymnastics after the sale.Its very nice to see that once Im finishing my job, USA Gymnastics will take over and continue, Karolyi said Monday. I think thats the best way to preserve the system which proved itself as very efficient and able to produce world-class gymnasts and world-class teams. Adidas Ultra Boost Norge .

SAN DIEGO -- Being just one of the guys is one of the things that?Joey Bosa missed during the 31 days that he remained unsigned because of a contract impasse with the San Diego Chargers.One day after he signed a four-year deal on Monday, Bosa was on the field working with his teammates and posing with some of his fellow defensive linemen for the long row of cameras on hand to watch his first appearance on the field since June at Chargers Park. Veteran defensive tackle Brandon Mebane hatched the idea of the impromptu photo shoot to help loosen things up for Bosa.It means a lot that theyre all welcoming me back with open arms like that, Bosa said. They all understand the business of the NFL and why I wasnt here. So theres no bad blood between any one of us, and theyre just excited to have me out here, and Im excited to be out here.Bosa missed more than a month and three preseason games during a contentious contract stalemate that included haggling over the payment of Bosas $17 million signing bonus and whether the contract would include offset language. He signed Monday and said he could play in the opener Sept. 11 at the Kansas City Chiefs.Bosa and the rest of the Chargers worked out in just helmets, jerseys and shorts as the team prepared for San Diegos final preseason game againnst the San Francisco 49ers in two days.ddddddddddddWere just happy to have him out here, defensive lineman Corey Liuget said. And I just look forward to working with the guy.Bosa likely will not play against San Francisco. Chargers head coach Mike McCoy said hell take a wait-and-see approach to determine if the Ohio State product will play in the regular-season opener on the road against the Chiefs. The Chargers have just one padded practice in the next two weeks to get Bosa ready for the season opener. But so far, McCoy has liked what he has seen from his rookie, first-round pick.He looked as we expected, McCoy said. He was in shape and ready to roll. He looked the way he did when he left.Bosa said hell spend some extra time with defensive line coach Giff Smith on Tuesday and throughout the week to get up to speed on the playbook in general and specifically San Diegos plans for him defensively.Its was nice, actually getting to run some plays, Bosa said. Its just going to take a little bit of time to get back into a rhythm of things and get all of the plays. I still havent put pads on, so Im sure thats going to be the hardest thing to get adjusted to. ' ' '
