Both the Indian mens and womens 4x400 relay teams have sealed their Rio spots by virtue of finishing among the worlds top 16. Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Triple Black .The Indian mens 4x400 relay team put up their season-best performance and scripted a new national record in the third Indian Grand Prix at the Sree Kanteerava stadium in Bangalore on Sunday.The quartet of P Kunhu Mohammed, Mohammed Anas, Ayyasamy Dharun and Arokia Rajiv clocked 3:00.91s and moved from 18th to 13th place in the qualifying order. The timing was an improvement upon their national record mark of 3:02.17 set in Eruzum, Turkey in June.We have practised very hard for the last one and a half years, Rajiv said. We kept trying and it finally clicked.While the womens 4x100m team anchored by Dutee Chand put up a rather off-colour show with a timing of 44.34s, the womens 4x400 quartet of Nirmala Sheoran, Tintu Luka, M R Poovamma and Anilda Thomas clocked 3:27.88 to move back into the 12th position after having slipped to 14th spot earlier.Their timing went past that of Indias 2014 Asian Games record of 3:28.68. The national record stands at 3:26.89.While the teams that finished in the top 8 at the 2015 IAAF World Relays earned an automatic qualification, the remaining eight spots are determined by the average of the two fastest timings that teams clock between January and July 11 this year.The top 16 position of the mens and womens 4x400 relay teams were confirmed after the conclusion of the European Championships in Amsterdam on Sunday.With July 11 being the Olympic qualifying cut-off for track and field athletes, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) had organised the Grand Prix in Bangalore to allow Indian athletes one last attempt at qualification. Some athletes will get another chance to cement a Rio berth on Monday.In the mens shot put, barring Inderjeet Singh, none of the others even managed to breach the 19m mark. The Olympic qualifying norm for the event is 20.50. While Inderjeet, who has already qualified for Rio, heaved a throw of 19.85, way below his personal best of 20.65, Tejwinder Turs 18.66 was the farthest throw the rest of the field put up.Om Prakash and Jasdeep Singh finished with 18.64m and 18.58m respectively. In the womens triple jump too, both Shilpa Chacko and NV Sheena, were way off the qualifying norm of 14.15m. With 2010 Commonwealth Games bronze medalist triple jumper Renjith Maheshwary set to make his final bid for an Olympic berth on Monday, things could get interesting.The only silver lining among the remaining competitions was V Neenas wind-aided leap of 6.57m in the long jump, the required norm being 6.70m in the womens long jump event.

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen embraces Sundays game against Houston.Yes, he and his teammates realize the winner takes control of the AFC South and has the inside track to the playoffs. He also knows the loser could spend the rest of the season playing catch-up.To Allen, this is football at its finest.A lot of people came up to me before the Monday night game and asked me if it was exciting to play on `Monday Night Football. Its an exciting stage to be on, but its just another game, he said.Now this game, its exciting. Its like (receiver) T.Y. Hilton said, its a Game 7 atmosphere. You win this one, you take first place and you control your destiny so to speak.While the Colts and Texans are tied with Tennessee (6-6) for the division lead, nobody understands the significance of these late-season matchups better than Indy and Houston.Each of the past four years, the winner of the mid-December game won the AFC South title.Because of the tiebreakers, it could be more of the same this season. Indy has already swept the Titans, Houston won Round 1 with Tennessee and the Texans used a frenetic comeback to beat the Colts in overtime in October.So although this may be the next chapter in a growing rivalry, the players on both teams acknowledge this week will have a different atmosphere.It certainly feels like a playoff game. I know personally our football team knows how important this game is, said Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler, who played on Denvers Super Bowl-winning team last season.We know that its a must-win game if we want to accomplish the goals that we set out.But the Colts may actually have more at stake.Theyve been chasing everyone since starting 0-2 and finally got back into contention by winning three of their past four.If they intend to stay in the playoff hunt, they cant afford to get swept by the Texans and cede the head-to-head tiebreaker, especially against a team that has lost three in a row.We know how big of a test this Houston game is, said Andrew Luck, who attended high school in Houston.We know how stingy of a defense, I think they are top five in the league, No. 1 against the run annd at least the last four weeks have been playing really good football. Air Max 95 Neon 2018. We will have our hands full.Here are some other things to watch Sunday:THE HILTON EFFECT: Hiltons success always seems to be a big factor in these games. In his first five games against Houston, Hilton had 31 catches for 611 yards and six TDs. In the past four, his numbers dropped to 15 receptions, 216 yards and no TDs.In 2016, Hilton is having the best season of his career and leads the AFC with 1,088 yards, but the Colts need him to revert to the early form he had against Houston.TAKING A PASS: Perhaps Osweiler hasnt had the kind of season the Texans anticipated. Hes thrown 14 TD passes and 13 interceptions, and the Texans are ranked No. 30 in yards passing and still dont have a 300-yard game.Perhaps facing a Colts secondary that has been battered most of this season will be the cure.THE INSIDERS: With inside linebacker DQwell Jackson suspended for the final four regular-season games for violating the NFLs performance-enhancing substance policy, the Colts need to replace their top tackler. Indys depth chart is short on experience. Edwin Jackson, who did not play in an NFL game until this season, and rookie Antonio Morrison will call signals.The other options are Josh McNary, who has played primarily on special teams; Deon King, who was claimed off waivers Nov. 15; and Luke Rhodes, who was promoted from the practice squad earlier this week.INJURY WATCH: Even the Texans arent sure which defensive players will be on the field. Former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney (elbow and wrist) missed Sundays game and, similar cornerback Jonathan Joseph (ribs) is considered day to day.Linebackers Brian Cushing (back and ankle) and Bernardrick McKinney (thigh), cornerback Kareem Jackson (hamstring) and nose tackle Vince Wilfork (groin) all were limited in practice earlier this week. Getting some or all of those players back would certainly help.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .
