Wales win three golds, Adam Peaty & Yohan Blake denied

Swimmer Alys Thomas, Para-athlete Hollie Arnold and Wales' men's bowls pair triumphed on day five of the Games.But Peaty was narrowly beaten in the men's 50m breaststroke by South African Cameron van der Burgh.

Another favourite - Jamaica's Yohan Blake - stumbled at the start of the 100m, allowing Akani Simbine and Henricho Bruintjies to make it a South African one-two.Elsewhere, injury ruled http://www.officialwinnipegjetstore.com/authentic-13-brandon-tanev-jersey.html England's Adam Gemili out of the men's 100m, while team-mate http://www.authenticyankeesstore.com/Authentic-Alex-Rodriguez-Jersey Asha Philip came fourth in the women's 100m, which was won by Trinidad & Tobago's Michelle-Lee Ahye.

But Van der Burgh, 29, claimed gold in a time of 26.58 seconds as Peaty clocked 26.62. Peaty's team-mate Vince Coleman Jersey James Wilby was third in 27.37 to claim his third medal of the Games."It was a great race. Credit to Van der Burgh," Peaty Authentic Jakub Voracek Jersey told BBC Sport. "I've been off my best all week.
"In April I'm never this fast so I'll take it as a positive and move on to the Europeans."The 27-year-old swam a Games record of two minutes 5.45 seconds to finish ahead of Australian duo Laura Taylor and Emma McKeon.
"I bet my coach if I did this I could shave his head," Thomas said.
"I'm 27 and this is my first major international medal. I'm finally breaking through now. It says something about being patient when you're young."
Wales team-mate Jazz Carlin, 27, surrendered her 800m freestyle title, finishing sixth as Australian teenager Ariarne Titmus won gold.
England's James Guy, 22, took silver in the men's 100m butterfly final behind South African Chad le Clos, who made it gold in the 50m, 100m and 200m butterfly, and clinched the 16th Commonwealth medal of his career.
Host nation Australia won 15 swimming medals on day five to make it 60 overall in the pool and push their overall total past 100.The Jamaican tried to recover but finished third in 10.19 seconds, behind Bruintjies (10.17) and Simbine (10.03), who claimed his first global title.
Ahye, 25, ran 11.14 in the women's final while Jamaicans Christania Williams (11.21) and Gayon Evans (11.21) took silver and bronze respectively.England's Philip, 27, just missed out on the http://www.buccaneersshopofficialfootball.com/Doug_Martin_Jersey medals in 11.28. Both she and Gemili clocked semi-final times that would have earned a medal in their respective finals."I came fourth in Glasgow, fourth in Australia, it seems to be my favourite number," Philip told BBC Sport."I'm better than this. That's just Trae Waynes Youth jersey shocking to be honest, I should Ryan Hewitt Youth jersey have done better than that."
Earlier, Arnold, 23, set a new world record to win the women's F46 javelin gold. cheap jerseys china wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys from china cheap jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys from china cheap jerseys free shipping wholesale jerseys from china

Matt Ryan expresses relief about health of wife, newborn twins

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan expressed relief about the health of his wife, Sarah, and their newborn twins following complications related to the pregnancy.

"Like Womens Davonte Lambert Jersey any parent, obviously you want everything to go well,'' he told ESPN on Monday at a celebrity golf event for charity. "We're not alone in having gone through this. I know other families, parents, children go through things like this all the time. You just want things to shake out well, and we're fortunate that they did. Obviously your mind really never leaves there because that's the most important thing in your life -- your family.''
Ryan missed the Jan. 9 practice leading into his team's divisional playoff matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles to be by his wife's side. Despite the circumstances, Ryan said he was able to focus upon returning to the team. The Falcons lost that weekend's game against the eventual Super Bowl champions by a score of 15-10.
"It was one of those things, my mind was there,'' Ryan said of not letting the situation weigh him down. "Even in the week we were playing in the playoffs, it was there. I felt like I was really well prepared http://www.officialjaguarsfootballshop.com/YOUTH+LERENTEE+MCCRAY+JERSEY for that game and played well.
"Yeah, it's tough [missing practice]. At the same time, perspective is key. In the grand scheme of things, there's more important things in life. I think we'd all agree that health and family are No. 1.''

When asked about the tense moments related to the health of the babies, Ryan admitted he was nervous without revealing details of what doctors told him could have happened.
"I mean, everybody is [nervous], I think, in those situations,'' he said. "You want everything to go smooth, and sometimes it doesn't. But it was OK.''
Asked if he's relieved now, Ryan responded, "I imagine you never feel like that as a parent. You're always worried about something. Obviously things have went really well for us. I'm just happy that they're home and healthy. And my wife is doing great, too.''
Marshall Thomas Ryan, who carries his mother's maiden name, was born first and followed by Johnny Matthew Ryan, named after family members named John on both sides. Marshall was sent home after five weeks in NICU while Johnny was sent home http://www.rangersteamonline.com/Nick_Holden_Jersey a week later, Sarah Ryan said in her post.
Matt Ryan, the 2016 MVP, is focused on making a return trip to the Super Bowl. He is in the final year of his contract, and the Falcons said extending him is a top priority without giving Womens Dorian Johnson Jersey an exact timetable on completing the deal.
"I think things are good,'' Ryan said of the contract talks. "Obviously, I've been through this before.

KL Rahul's fastest IPL fifty floors Universe Boss Chris Gayle

L Rahul created a new record of scoring the fastest half-century in the Indian Premier League and guess who he credited after the match? None other than 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle.

Rahul's 14-ball fifty saw Kings XI Punjab open their IPL 2018 campaign with a resounding win against Delhi Daredevils in Mohali on Sunday. And it came as no surprise that Rahul took inspiration from the big-hitting West Indies, who was left out of the playing XI.
"I have realized over the years playing with you (while being part of the RCB squad),and I have spoken to you over the last couple of years about how to pace the innings and you always keep telling about getting into good positions and then http://www.authenticsandiegopadresshop.com/Chase-Headley-Jersey body reacts. That's http://www.ramsfootballofficialproshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_TYRUNN_WALKER_JERSEY.html all I was trying to do and I'm really happy that it came off today," Rahul added.
Chasing 167, KXIP owed their sensational start to Rahul, who hammered six fours and four sixes. He eventually perished for a 16-ball 51 but KXIP were so far ahead in the game that even after slowing down in the middle overs the team was matching up with the required run rate. They eventually reached the target with 7 balls to spare.
Rahul is no stranger to records in the shorter formats. He had scored a hundred on ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2016. A few months later, he Authentic Rodger Saffold Jersey became one of Logan Couture Womens Jersey only three Indian batsmen to score a T20 International hundreds.

But on Sunday he did not even realise that he had scored the fastest fifty and only got to know about the record when Yuvraj Singh reminded him about it after joining him in the middle during the run chase.
"It is great to have records under your belt. Yes, I didn't really realize that I had got a record, I had got to fifty because, like I said, I was just waiting for the ball to leave the bowler's hand and strike it. So once I got there and everyone started clapping I realized I got Authentic Ryan Murray Jersey to fifty," the 25-year-old explained his delayed reaction and acknowledgement on reaching his half-century.
Gayle himself was mighty pleased with what he saw from the dugout and congratulated the Karnataka opener on the record.
"Fastest fifty, you seemed a bit surprised when you saw everyone was clapping, like you didn't realise that you actually reached fifty, but you hit the fastest fifty in the IPL history. That's a great record and zI think you will have many more to score in this format," the 38-year-old Jamaican said.
Left out of India's ODI and T20I squads for the South Africa tour, Rahul was itching to make a statement. He could not assert himself in Sri Lanka during the Nidahas Trophy but he was determined to do exactly that in the IPL. wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys

Wasn't F1 in 2018 meant to be the Lewis Hamilton show?

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton started the season as the hot favourite to beat his rival Sebastian Vettel to the achievement, but the Ferrari driver now has a 17-point lead after victories in the first two races of the season.

Vettel's win in Bahrain on Sunday demonstrated both the size of the task facing Hamilton and the incredibly high level of competition at the front of the field between these two all-time greats.
Hamilton was pleased to rescue a podium finish in third place from a race he started ninth, survived a collision with Red Bull's Max Verstappen and pulled off a spectacular overtaking move that saw him pass three cars in almost one manoeuvre.
But the 49th victory of Vettel's career was right up there with the very best he has ever achieved, a masterclass in control and calm under intense pressure brought about by a cunning attempt by Mercedes' strategists to overcome what, at least before the race, appeared to be a faster car.
Vettel looked in complete control of the race until Mercedes put his pursuer Valtteri Bottas on the same one-stop strategy as Hamilton. It was a devilishly clever move and it left Ferrari with an agonising decision. Stick to their plan of a two-stop or try to make the tyres last?
Pit again, and Vettel would have to pass both Mercedes out on track. Stay out and Gary Harris Authentic Jersey he would be asking 'soft'-compound tyres to do 39 laps - 30% longer than the recommended Detlef Schrempf Authentic Jersey maximum life.Vettel said: "By them going on to the medium, I thought: 'That's checkmate.' Because [at that point] we had to come in again. It was a great strategy and put us under a lot of pressure."
Ferrari said they were always open to the idea of keeping Vettel out, but the unlikelihood of it working can be judged by the fact that it was their http://www.footballredskinsprostore.com/Kendall_Fuller_Jersey_Cheap 'plan D' - their fourth-best pre-race strategy.Vettel made his first and only stop on lap 18 and fitted soft tyres that were expected to last only 30 laps. There were 39 to go.
On softer tyres, he should have been much faster than Bottas behind him on mediums, but the pace differential was not that big and by lap 30 there was nothing to choose between them on lap time.Ferrari kept their options open as long as they could, but the final turning point was team-mate Kimi Raikkonen's second stop from http://www.officialmlbonlineshop.com/t-shirts-houston-astros third place on lap 35, when something went badly wrong.
The left rear was stuck. Raikkonen was given the 'go' signal before the wheel had even been taken off. He bowled over a mechanic, who suffered a nasty leg fracture, and was forced to stop in the pit lane.
That meant the pit lane was out of use for Ferrari for a key period of time, by which point the opportunity to pit Vettel and give him sufficient time to have a realistic chance of chasing down both Mercedes was effectively gone. He had to make staying out work.

PH Malditas eye FIFA Women's World Cup berth against China

The Philippine women's national football team's bid for qualification to the 2019 FIFA Women's World http://www.bengalsonlineofficialauthentic.com/Vincent-Rey-Jersey Cup continues on Monday night when they play powerhouse China at the King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman, Jordan.

Kick off is at 4:45 p.m. in Jordan, or 9:45 p.m. in the Philippines.

The Filipinas are trying to build on their remarkable 2-1 upset of hosts Jordan last Friday night (Saturday morning in Manila), with a win over China propelling them to the World Cup in France in 2019.
An own goal from Jordan's Yasmeen Khair and a Sarina Bolden strike gave the Philippines their first three points of the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup."We started with a win against the hosts, and in our plans before we came to Jordan we had always envisaged taking three points from our first match," said Philippine head Mitchell Trubisky Womens Jersey coach Rabah Benlarbi.
"It is very important to have a balance, something which I believe we have along with the fact that we live together, we win together and we die together," he added.
Benlarbi, however, is well aware of the challenges posed by China. He was an assistant coach of China during the 2016 Rio Olympics, and saw how the Chinese routed Thailand, 4-0, in their first assignment of the tournament.
"I know China's players, and I know their strengths, and their weaknesses," said Benlarbi. "They have changed some players, but they are still a very strong team."The Malditas are once again the underdogs against China, which has won the AFC Women's Wilmer Flores Womens Jersey Asian Cup eight times.
However, Benlarbi said the Filipinas are "very http://www.avalancheofficialauthenticstore.com/Aj_Greer_Jersey_Adidas motivated."
"If we can beat China, it would be excellent for us as it would virtually assure us of a place in the World Cup," he Stephen Tulloch Womens Jersey said. "For us, reaching the FIFA Women's World Cup would be a great achievement."
If the Malditas lose to China on Monday night, they can still secure qualification against Thailand in their last match of the group round.For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN Sports http://www.jaguarsofficialnflprostore.com/Nike-Lerentee-Mccray-Jersey.html website.

NFL players have succumbed to protest pressure

From Robinson to Ali, the power of player http://www.montrealcanadiensofficialonline.com/Adidas-Mark-Streit-Jersey activism has always http://www.officialauthenticcardinalsstore.com/womens_haason_reddick_jersey been rooted in its moral imperative. The recent wave has been no different, motivated by moments like in August 2014, when Ferguson police shot Michael Brown dead and left his body on the street, baking in the http://www.authenticoilersshoponline.com/authentic-25-darnell-nurse-jersey.html summer heat for hours.

Or when police choked Eric Garner to death that same summer, or killed Philando Castile and Terence Crutcher in 2016. People filled the streets to protest the violence. Players like Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid joined them in on-field protests.

The sports world did its best to kill the protests, aided by a media that largely refused to understand the revolt and by the willful ignorance of owners and fans who never believed this part of America was a problem. The efforts appear to have succeeded. Kaepernick is still without a job. Reid, a free agent safety, said on March 22 that if signed by a team he would discontinue his two-year practice of kneeling during the anthem in protest of police brutality.
The next day, Malcolm Jenkins, Anquan Boldin and Devin McCourty -- three members of the Players Coalition, Dan Girardi Womens Jersey a group of activist players that in November negotiated with owners an $89 million partnership to contribute to social causes -- gave the keynote address at a Harvard seminar on criminal justice reform.
Speaking about on-field protest, McCourty told USA Today, "That was a vehicle that we used to draw attention, but doing some type of protest on the field every week is not going to stop an unarmed black kid from getting killed."
The players have clearly succumbed to the prolonged hostility to their cause and suffer a terribly absent sense of self. Their union is ambivalent toward protest, even as jobs are being threatened. Kaepernick, the hero to the people who never quite wanted to lead the people, is still an unquestioned inspiration to millions, but he hasn't spoken nationally in more than Ryan Kalil Womens Jersey a year.
In the void, his moral urgency has been co-opted. Unwilling to couple labor solidarity to protest, the players let Kaepernick die professionally, sacrificing their one strength management feared: the power of their numbers.
The coalition said their partnership wasn't a quid pro quo to end protests, yet that is what it has become. Players took ownership's money without asking for fairness. Kaepernick and now possibly Reid, who remained unsigned heading into April, have been the human cost -- and everyone seems all right with that.
Yet while the players were cutting deals with owners -- the same owners who have been historically dishonest with them about the dangers of their sport, men who have called them "inmates" and treat them as disposable -- children from Parkland to Chicago, tired of gun violence, many first inspired by Kaepernick, went precisely to the place the players negotiated to avoid:the streets.
The kids went out and marched, a million strong. They incorporated the kids from Columbine who are now adults, and the parents from Sandy Hook.
When black kids wrecked by gun violence felt omitted, they forced their way into the fight, made themselves be seen. The movement incorporated Steven Souza Womens Jersey military veterans who shared their gun-control views, a strategic alliance that obscured the violence of constant war but muted accusations that the kids were unpatriotic.
It was alliance-building the players ignored-hundreds of police officers lead anti-police brutality organizations -- and the result was being branded as anti-cop.
