RIO DE JANEIRO -- A launching ramp that collapsed at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic sailing venue is to be back in service on Friday -- the day the games open and three days before sailing begins.The head of World Sailing, the sports governing body, knows hes cutting it close.If it was absolutely necessary, we could still carry on the competition, Andy Hunt told The Associated Press on Monday. But it would just be logistically very difficult.The ramp partially collapsed on Saturday, adding to a list of problems in the host city that includes the Zika virus, water pollution and slow ticket sales. Local organizers blamed high tides and acknowledged design flaws.That ramp was maybe a bit too big, Andrada told AP. Andrade said the rebuilt ramp will be slightly smaller.On Monday, a half dozen shipyard workers were standing on top of the part of the ramp that survived the waves. Next to them, a crane held the damaged metal structure from sinking further.Sailors training at the Marina da Gloria used a second ramp at the venue, which is made of concrete and around three times smaller than the one built for the competition.Its unusual to see this. Something happened. It wasnt constructed properly, said Erik Stibbe, a Canadian coach.Rio has faced criticism for shoddy construction since April, when a bike path that was hailed as a top legacy project of the Olympics collapsed, killing two people.In another incident caused by strong winds in Rio over the weekend, water flooded TV studios on Copacabana Beach near the volleyball arena. Iron boards were used to block the waves.Australias delegation refused to move into the Olympic Village on the official opening day a week ago, citing electrical problems, gas and water leaks among other issues in the building. Athletes finally checked in on Wednesday, and then a small fire broke out on Friday, forcing an evacuation. There were no injuries.-----Associated Press Sports Writer Stephen Wade contributed to this report. Hyun-Jin Ryu Dodgers Jersey .

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Until a couple of months ago, Brandon Ingrams new locker at the Los Angeles Lakers training complex was occupied by Kobe Bryant.The 18-year-old rookie sees the daunting symbolism in literally taking the place of the most prolific scorer in franchise history, and he greets it with a smile.I did see where my locker was, and I definitely knew it was Kobes locker, Ingram said. (General manager) Mitch (Kupchak) told me I had some big shoes to fill when I came in here, but I liked it. I like the pressure thats on me right now. Of course its going to motivate me to do good things on the court. Its all good pressure for me.Ingram put on those shoes for the first time Tuesday at a practice for the Lakers Las Vegas summer league team. The No. 2 overall pick in last months draft then joined fellow Lakers selection Ivica Zubac in a tour of the complex, posing in front of owner Jeanie Buss collection of championship trophies before receiving their new gold jerseys -- No. 14 for Ingram, No. 40 for Zubac.The Lakers believe Ingram is a centerpiece of their next great roster. Theyre starting nearly from the bottom after the worst season in team history and the retirement of Bryant, who won five titles and became the NBAs third-leading scorer during his 20-year career.Ingram could be two decades away from approaching those achievements, but the smooth-shooting forward hasnt flinched under the weight of comparisons to Bryant -- or to Kevin Durant, another lanky shooter who transformed a struggling team. Just over a year after graduating from high school in tiny Kinston, North Carolina, Ingram is shouldering those burdens with apparent ease.He never talked about (being compared to Durant), said Ingrams father, Donald. He definitely has similar tools on the court, but hes never showed that he feels the pressure. Even here, with people talking about filling Kobes shoes, hes just going to pave his own way. Hes going to be Brandon.Ingram is already determined to build chemistry with Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and fellow No. 2 pick DAngelo Russell, the Lakers point guard. His primary goal is to become a more vocal player after Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski impressed the impoortance of communication on him last season.ddddddddddddI was ready for this first practice, Ingram said. Just getting on the floor with those guys, and just seeing how he (Russell) wants to play, and of course how the coach wants to play. Connecting with those guys is really important to see what they want to do to be a contender in this league.Ingrams cool is even impressing Zubac, the 7-foot Bosnian teenager chosen with the 32nd overall pick. Zubac grew up an enormous Lakers fan, but he wouldnt want Bryants locker.He can have that pressure, Zubac said, drawing a laugh from his new teammate.Ingram will have plenty of support in his rookie season, starting with Luke Walton and the Lakers new coaching staff. Los Angeles also signed fellow Duke product Luol Deng as a free agent, and Ingram intends to stick close to his fellow 6-foot-9 Blue Devil.Hell also have support from family and friends, including Jerry Stackhouse, his longtime mentor and fellow Kinston native.Donald Ingram is a veteran basketball referee who has also run a recreation center back home in Kinston. He raised his sons with a healthy respect for the games rules and fundamentals, putting Brandon into ball-handling drills as a child. Donald was determined to prevent his sons from falling into what he calls the AND1 mentality of flashy, highlight-driven play.Hes always been a player that listened, even when the adults were playing, Donald Ingram said. Thats part of being coachable, his ability to listen. Hes a kid thats willing to learn.Ingrams 25-year-old brother, Bo, played at the University of Texas before getting drafted by the D-League and playing professionally in Mexico. Bo will be out on the West Coast with Brandon after summer league, looking for a place to live before getting to work in September.Were from the East Coast, and hell be 19 years old, Donald Ingram said. We want to make sure he has somebody with him, and hes living as close to the facility as possible. Its a big concern, and that, to me, is more of a concern than his ability to make an impact with the Lakers. ' ' '
