Youd have to look hard to find flaws in a team that has outscored its opponents by an average of 31 points per game, but Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim eventually found something he could use to motivate his team following a 71-50 blowout of Monmouth on Friday. Nike Air Max Sale Outlet .Boeheim, now in his 41st year at Syracuse, said the 17th-ranked Orange need to do a better job of protecting the ball when it faces South Carolina State in a Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational game at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday at the Carrier Dome.Syracuse committed 16 turnovers against Monmouth Friday, including 10 in the second half, after turning the ball over a combined 20 times in its first two games against Colgate and Holy Cross.We cant have our point guards just giving the ball up like that, Boeheim said. They didnt score any points in the second half except off turnovers.Actually, the Hawks scored only eight of their 21 second-half points off turnovers. But its true that Orange point guards Frank Howard and John Gillon, who combined for 27 assists and five turnovers in the first two games, were both a little shaky against Monmouth with a combined seven assists and four turnovers.Im not worried about John. Hes a good player and he went against a good kid (Friday) thats really good (Monmouth point guard Justin Robinson), Boeheim said. He made a couple of mistakes, Frank made a couple of mistakes. Thats why we play these games, to try to learn from those mistakes.The Orange will play another one of these games Tuesday against a South Carolina State team that fell to 1-2 Friday after a 92-50 loss to South Carolina. The Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational is a five-team, round-robin tournament that includes Syracuse, South Carolina, South Carolina State, Monmouth and Holy Cross.Last season, the Bulldogs enjoyed their best season since 2005 as they finished 19-15 overall and 12-4 in the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference and advanced to the title game of the MEAC Tournament. The leagues coaches and athletic directors picked S.C. State to finish second in the MEAC this year behind Howard -- the first time since 2003 the Bulldogs have been picked as high as second in the preseason.But with six new players, the Bulldogs are still finding their way as they were thumped by a strong Wichita State team 85-39 and defeated NAIA member St. Andrews University 93-76 before losing to South Carolina. The Bulldogs shot only 30.8 percent (16-for-52) and were outrebounded 47-24 against the Gamecocks, and theyll have to do far better than that if they want to stay in the game against Syracuse.It was a tough loss for our team tonight against a very talented and well-coached South Carolina team, but we have to learn from this and keep moving forward, said Bulldogs coach Murray Gavin, the 2015-16 MEAC Coach of the Year. They had 28 second-chance points to our four and that was the deciding factor down the stretch.The Bulldogs are led by All-MEAC Preseason first-team selection Eric EJ Eaves, who averaged 17.3 points per game last season and is scoring at a 15.3-point clip this year. Fifth-year transfer guard Andrew White is leading the Orange in scoring at 18 points per game and hes shooting 38.5 percent (10 of 26) from 3-point range.

NEW YORK -- Diana Taurasi and the U.S. womens national basketball team capped off their pre-Olympic tour with a dominant offensive show against Australia.Taurasi scored 15 of her 20 points during a 5-minute span in the third quarter to help the Americans beat Australia 104-89 on Sunday in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden.It kind of just happened, Taurasi said. On this team you cant force the issue that much we have so many talented players. It metamorphosed into something without even trying. Today it happened to me. Next month well take turns filling that role. Today it was just me.Elena Delle Donne added 19 points for the Americans in the final tuneup for both teams before they head to Rio for the Olympics that begin next weekend. The Americans won every game on their exhibition tour, starting with a four-point victory over a U.S. select team. They also cruised to wins over Canada and France. The U.S. will make a brief stop in Houston to meet up with the mens team before flying to Rio on TuesdayThis was the first time in a long time that the U.S. played a pre-Olympic tour on home soil.Its been awesome, Taurasi said. To be on this team for this long and it most likely be my last go. The last three games in front of Delaware fans, Connecticut and then the Garden where theres a different feel, different electricity. ... Its given us a lot of confidence going into Rio.The U.S. and Australia are the top two teams in the world and are expected to face off for the gold medal in Rio at the Olympics. The Americans have won the last five Olympic gold medals while Australia has won either the silver or bronze at every one since 1996.Even though we lost we got a lot of confidence out of this game, Australia coach Brendan Joyce said. We have a bit of a rougher road to a potential rematch with them for a gold medal in Rio.The Australians got off to a strong start hitting six of their first 10 shots, including three 3-pointers to build a 17-11 advanntage early on. Air Max Sale Outlet. But just as they normally do, the depth on the U.S. team wore down the Opals.Delle Donne rallied the Americans scoring 11 points in the first quarter, hitting all four of her shots.The U.S. scored the first 13 points of the second quarter, including eight by Angel McCoughtry, to build the advantage to 41-25 that capped off a 30-8 burst.Australia wouldnt go away. Penny Taylor, who told the AP over the weekend that she was retiring after the WNBA season ends, and Leilani Mitchell got the Opals to 54-48 at the half.Taurasi took over in the third quarter. She got hot from the outside, hitting three 3-pointers during that 5-minute span to help the U.S. extend its lead to 77-58 and got the crowd of over 13,000 fans on their feet and chanting U-S-A. Australia, which won its first two games in the exhibition tournament, could never recover.Liz Cambage led Australia with 22 points despite being saddled by foul trouble. Mitchell finished with 18 points for Australia.They are the best team in the world for a reason, said Cambage, who played her first-game ever at MSG. We have some things we need to work on.The U.S. honored former Olympians Teresa Edwards, Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley, Gail Marquis and Juliene Simpson. The national team stayed for the ceremony cheering on the former greats. Marquis and Simpson were on the 1976 team and Edwards, Leslie and Staley helped get this run of five straight gold medals started. After the former greats were introduced to the crowd, the current team ran over and hugged and high-fived them.The Americans have won 41 consecutive Olympic contests with the last loss coming in the 1992 semifinals. They also have never lost to Australia, going 19-0 in exhibition games, world championship contests and the Olympics.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Nike Baseball Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Authentic Cheap NHL Jerseys Canada Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys China NCAA Jerseys Cheap Nike NHL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Football Jerseys Store Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Jerseys NCAA China Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys ' ' '  

NAPA, Calif. Nike Air Max Wholesale Australia . -- Bill Haas, Max Homa and Harold Varner III have something in common at the Safeway Open.They were fill-ins for Tiger Woods.Another PGA Tour season begins Thursday at Silverado in what was billed as the return of Tiger Woods, right up until the point that Woods decided his game was vulnerable and not where it needed to be for him to compete. The announcement at the start of the week spoiled the plans of the Safeway Open to make the golf course -- and not the vineyards -- the place to be.Woods was going to play the pro-am on Wednesday with Stephen Curry, the two-time MVP for the Golden State Warriors. Then, he was to be in the same group as Phil Mickelson and defending champion Emiliano Grillo for the opening two rounds.Varner took over as the pro in Currys group, with both going to college in North Carolina (Varner at East Carolina, Curry at Davidson).Got to thank Tiger, Varner said. If it wasnt for Tiger, I wouldnt be here. I had a good time.Haas is a six-time winner on the PGA Tour. One of those victories was at Congressional for the AT&T National where Woods was the host.As for Homa?The former Cal star made it back to the PGA Tour and was an alternate for the Safeway Open. He got into the tournament when Woods withdrew. Homa tweeted later that day, Thanks Tiger. Next time we hang out, dinners on me. Get back out here soon plz. Sincerely, Your biggest fan.In the meantime, the 2016-17 season begins without him.MICKELSON RIDING HIGH: Mickelson has played 24 times in 35 weeks this year, and the 46-year-old was full of energy when he arrived at the Safeway Open. Attribute that to the Ryder Cup, were Lefty was the vocal leader for the Americans and turned in the top performance on the final day of an American victory. He made 10 birdies and needed them all for a halve against Sergio Garcia.Mickelson hasnt won since 2013, but that team victory at Hazeltine filled a void.Im still on an emotional high, and even though Ive been running around this last week, my energy level is up and Im optimistic about having a good week, Mickelson said. I love the golf course and the feel. Its in California and Im excited to play.The first tournament of the new season is also the last tournament for Mickelson this year.THE COMEBACK: One player dressed head-to-toe in Nike has chosen the Safeway Open to return from a back injury.And yes, Nick Watney is playing.Watney had a herniated disc and last played at Torrey Pines in January. Instead of surgery, he opted to take eight months off for rest and therapy. He began chipping and putting in August. His back specialist put him on what amounted to a pitch count so he wouldnt overdo. Watney was excited to be back on the tour, and several players did a double take when they saw him head to the practice range Wednesday. It had been a long time.THE SHOW: Curry brought some star power to the pro-am, and he put on a show with a birdie on his final hole.But the biggest shot came from Varner.Someone set up a makeshift basketball goal in the bleachers, and Curry and Varner took turns heaving shots into the grandstand at the hoop. None came particularly close until Varner let one fly and banked it in.I dont know if he was really trying, Varner said.THE ROOKIES: The players who make their PGA Tour debuts as card-carrying members can seek inspiration from the defending champion.A year ago, Grillo won the Web.com Tour Championship, and two weeks later began his PGA Tour career with a playoff victory at Silverado. He wound up making it to the Tour Championship and finishing 11th in the FedEx Cup.The previous two winners since the tour went to a wraparound season in 2013 also reached the Tour Championship -- Jimmy Walker and Sang-moon Bae.

GOING, Austria -- FIFA President Sepp Blatter said Brazil might have been the wrong choice as host of the 2014 World Cup if the tournament is affected by social protests like those as at the Confederations Cup last month. Clearance Air Max 720 . Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets during the warm-up tournament in June, demanding better public services and expressing their anger over the costs to stage the World Cup. "If this happens again we have to question whether we made the wrong decision awarding the hosting rights," Blatter told German press agency DPA on Wednesday. FIFA spoke with the Brazilian government after the Confederations Cup, and Blatter said hell discuss the issue again with Brazil President Dilma Rousseff in September. "We didnt do a political debriefing, but we did emphasize the fact of this social unrest being there for the entire duration of the Confederations Cup," he said. "The government is now aware that next year the World Cup shouldnt be disturbed. "To me, these protests were like alarm bells for the government, the senate, the parliament. They should work on it so that this is not going to happen again. Though protests, if peaceful, are part of democracy and therefore have to be accepted ... we are convinced the government, and especially the president, will find the words and the actions to prevent a repeat. They have a year to do so." Blatter was speaking at the start of a two-day conference on sports, media and economy set up by German great Franz Beckenbauer in Austria. FIFA later verified the comments were accurate. The Confederations Cup, which was won by Brazil, angered citizens who are upset with the billions of dollars spent on the tournaments while they endure underfunded schools and hospitals. Protesters aired a wide spectrum of grievances, including the high cost of hosting the 2016 Rio Olympics. The protests were originally organized by university students before spreading across the country, including tournament host cities Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza and Belo Horizonte. "Its not we who have to learn lessons from the protests in Brazil -- politics in Brazil have to do that," said Blatter, adding that "FIFA cannot be held responsible" for social discrepancy in the country. Without FIFAs executive committee having to vote, Brazil won the right to host the tournament in October 2007. That was six months after the only other candidate, Colombia, withdrew its bid. "The decision for Brazil was the best decision we could make. It was the correct decision, we stick to this decision," Blatter said. Blatter said the success of next years tournament will be instrumental in his decision whether to stand for president for a fifth time in 2015, adding that not all of the governing bodys tasks have been fulfilled yet. "First we have to complete the reforms, which are three-quarters done. Ill then have to deliver the World Cup ... the way the world looks now, Ill say yes or no (to standing again) at the next congress in Sao Paulo in 2014," he said. "FIFA should be taken over by someone who can take over a FIFA which is not just financially healthy, which it is now, but which also has credibility." Air Max 720 Outlet Sale . PAUL, Minn.

Kerry,  Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?  All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. LOS ANGELES -- After eight seasons and two Stanley Cup titles as the Los Angeles Kings captain, Dustin Brown thought he deserved better.Brown doesnt agree with the Kings decision to strip him of their captaincy this summer, and he aired his differences with team management Thursday in a phone interview.I felt like Ive done a very good job leading this team, he said. The last couple of years have been really disappointing for all involved, and we all have a lot of work to do to get back where we want to be.But I just remember when I was named captain, where we were at as a team. It was not a pretty picture. So what Ive been able to accomplish with the help of a lot of my teammates has been pretty great, and I felt Im still able to do that.Anze Kopitar was appointed the Kings captain two weeks ago after a series of meetings among Brown, coach Darryl Sutter and general manager Dean Lombardi. Brown said the decision was made several weeks before that, but the team waited to announce it until well after news of the plan leaked to reporters.Ultimately, I understand the decision and I respect the decision, Brown said. Part of my problem was how it was handled. It just put me in an awkward spot.Brown also said he believes the Kings have tried to trade him. When asked to describe his current relationship with Kings management, he replied: Im not going to say its rosy.His declining offensive production and his $47 million contract through the 2021-22 season make him practically unmovable, but Brown isnt interested in leaving, anyway.Brown hasnt scored 30 points in any of the Kings past four seasons. The U.S. Olympian is no longer widely considered one of the NHLs top power forwards, and Lombardi said he hopes Brown will rediscover his game with the burden of leadership lifted.Brown didnt want to be rid of that burden, however.It was a tough pill to swallow, Brown said. There are a lot of emotions that go through it. But at the end of tthe day, it was really out of my control because this is a management decision, not the players voting on it or anything like that. Cheap Air Max 720 Sale. . To be quite honest, it wouldve been a lot harder had it been my teammates doing this.Brown acknowledged he has had differences with Sutter, who became the Kings coach in late 2011, more than three years after Brown became captain. Brown said their recent clear-the-air meetings probably should have happened a year ago.Sutter and Brown led the Kings to two titles and 10 playoff series victories from 2012-14, but Los Angeles missed the playoffs entirely in 2015. The Kings led the Pacific Division for most of the past season, but were eliminated by San Jose in five first-round playoff games.Los Angeles struggles in the past two seasons -- and Browns shortcomings on the ice -- ultimately led to the change.I enjoyed the responsibility, but whether I have a `C on my chest or not, Im going to put pressure on myself to be better, because Im not OK with just being OK, Brown said.If you are, then youre out of this league pretty quickly. I think this is maybe them trying to get me to a place where Im not worried about the young guys, or all the stuff you kind of have to worry about a little bit more when youre the captain, and now I can just focus on my game a little bit more.Brown still threw his support behind Kopitar, his teammate and close friend for the past decade. Kopitar has led the Kings in scoring for nine consecutive seasons, and he won the Selke Trophy last week as the NHLs top defensive forward.I think Kopi is going to be a great captain, Brown said. Ive been with him since he came into this league, and hell be fine in this situation. I have all the faith in the world in Kopi in being the guy now, but from my perspective, I wasnt happy with this decision.

Our experts weigh in on four of the biggest questions in NASCAR as the Sprint Cup Series braces for Chase race No. 6 Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway:Turn 1: Are you excited about Talladega or dreading it?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: Im looking forward to it ... a complete contrast to my view as a driver. This type of racing is a difficult pill to swallow for competitors with championship chances. Drivers do not control their own destiny -- at least not the same way they can in the other nine Chase races. From a fans perspective, its very entertaining, edgy, unpredictable, and it sells. People spend big money to purchase a seat at Talladega, but seldom use it.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: Totally excited. Im always excited about Talladega. Ive never been one to complain about that place. What I do dread is the possibility of experiencing what we did one year ago, when we were all standing on pit road a full five minutes after the checkered flag having no idea where anyone finished. But Im one who has always dug the idea of a plate race being a Chase cutoff event. I like that each elimination race comes on totally different types of tracks -- Richmond, Dover, Talladega, Phoenix and Homestead.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: I generally tend to dread the prospect of a nail-biting restrictor-plate race, but for some reason, Im kind of looking forward to this one -- and not just for Pork Chop Friday in the media center. I just have a feeling were going to have a compelling and mostly clean race to determine the six additional drivers who will advance in the Chase. Hope Im not wrong ...Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Intrigued and dreading it. Its just the nature of Talladega: watch with some excitement but with a pit in the stomach. It will be exciting when its all over -- to see if all the drivers are safe and if there are no controversies about teammates and whether they helped someone to win or advance. Thats asking a lot. But it could happen.Turn 2: NASCAR will cut the number of tires Sprint Cup teams get next year -- mostly on intermediate tracks -- by two to three sets. Good or bad?Craven: Good, because it brings another element to the race and creates more strategy. Thats why I like the decision. If theres any suggestion this was created to save teams money, forget it. Teams will spend the money on more software!McGee: If it adds another wrinkle of strategy, Im all for it. I just hope they did their due diligence with simulations and talking to crew chiefs to ensure that strategy change will be the lone effect and not some sort of cataclysmic sorry about that disastrous finish but everyone ran out of tires and we didnt see that coming scenario.Oreovicz: Good, unless Goodyear has a bad day. Cutting the number of sets available will increase the importance of tire strategy, both in terms of on-track management by the driver and smart decision-making on the part of the crew chief for when to try to double-stint or take just two tires. But it also reduces Goodyears margin for error, because if there is a repeat of the 2008 Brickyard 400, the field wont be able to finish the race.Pockrass: Good. Tire strategy and management can make for good racing. Despite the persuasive argument that the top series shouldnt have limits, this could help the show and also could alllow for teams without pure raw speed to possibly have a better chance. Air Max Baratas Outlet. Turn 3: What do you think about Martinsville Speedway adding lights? Should it have a Cup race under the lights?Craven: Im a traditionalist when it comes to short-track racing, and short-track Saturday night racing seems synonymous. But for this to happen, a Martinsville race would need to be in June or July? Never say never ...McGee: I think its cool, especially that theyre LED lights. But this will be cool only if they are smart in how they use those lights. If this is a step toward creating something unique and running a midweek event like weve all wondered about, thats awesome. If this helps ease our minds about getting races in without having to worry about outrunning the sunset like the situation we were in last year, thats also great. But if this is going to be just another night race for the sake of having another night race, that does nothing for me. The allure of night racing was exhausted long ago. The old-school essence of Martinsville will always be at 1 p.m. ET on a Sunday afternoon.Oreovicz: Im of two minds. Why break with tradition at one of NASCARs most historic tracks? On the other hand, short tracks are the best venues for night racing. The best compromise is probably to run only Truck series or maybe Xfinity races at night, because the area may not have the infrastructure to get 60,000 people out of Martinsville Speedway at midnight after a four-hour race in a timely manner.Pockrass: A Monday night Sprint Cup race in the summer sounds great. Seriously, why does NASCAR go there when the weather can be cold and play roulette on whether the race can get in because of rain?Turn 4:?Will Joe Gibbs Racing get all four (or five if you count Martin Truex Jr.) cars into the next round?Craven: I have no earthly idea ... its Talladega!?All hell could break loose on the final lap, knocking three JGR drivers out. Im going to guess. Lets say four of five advance.McGee: I think at least one will be left standing when the music stops. I have been on the Truex train all year, but were at that point in the season where hes had some sort of issue in 23 of 31 races is no longer a quirky stat -- its a killer of championship chances. Still, though, Ive felt like something has been off-center all season for Denny Hamlin. If someone is going to not keep up and keep on into the next round, its probably him.Oreovicz: My best guess is that three of the five will advance -- and maybe four, because I do expect Truex to make the cut. Denny Hamlin is the least likely to move on -- not just because hes in the worst position heading in, but because hes the most mistake-prone, with more pit-lane penalties than any other driver this year. Its Talladega, so anything can happen. Even Matt Kenseth, points leader among winless drivers in this round, could be vulnerable if he gets taken out early.Pockrass: All the Toyota drivers but Denny Hamlin appear to be in decent position, but for Toyota to earn five of the six available spots, a lot would have to fall into place in this game of musical chairs for that to happen. One is going to get unlucky at Talladega.

Murray wins on debut as No 1 Andy Murray beats Marin Cilic in ATP World Tour Finals opener Again, Cilic lifted his game early on in the second set and then Murray went on from strength to strength so a great start to these championships.Fleming said: It was most certainly tough for him. He started off very slowly and certainly appeared to be nervous, as did Cilic. But thankfully for Cilic, Murray never quite got it going. He won the first set and then rolled him in the end. Mark Petchey invites Murray to guess a shot during his win against Cilic Although Rusedski thinks Nishikori will be a tough opponent for him, he does feel the top seed will come through the encounter with the crowd right behind him again.Nishikori will be tough for him - he lost to him at the US Open where Murray had a good chance to beat him, but lost in five sets, he said. I just feel like Murray, the number one, playing the big points better, full of confidence and the reception he got was unbelievable.Hes got more time on the return of serve. Hes going to be able to be more aggressive than Stan The Man was and I think hes going to find a way to get through and top this group. Reaction from Cilic and Murray as the world No 1 wins his first match at the ATP World Tour Finals Murray said the court surface slowed up due to the full capacity at the O2 Arena causing more humidity in the air during his post-match interview, but Fleming doesnt think it is a factor. Air Max 720 Outlet. I dont think the court surface is a big deal to be honest with you, he said, All the players here move very well and enjoy this court surface. As Andy said tonight, the court was slower with all the people in it. Might have been more humid, but I dont think its a big factor - its about who brings it on the day. Murray explains his match tactics to Mark Petchey after he beat Cilic in his first game on home soil after he was crowned world No 1 And looking ahead to Wednesdays match against the Japanese star, Rusedski said: Wednesday is huge for him against Nishikori, but I think he will top his group and we will get the dream final - Djokovic and Murray for the world number one.But Fleming wasnt looking too far ahead, adding: The Nishikori match is as close to a 50-50 match as were going to have this week, so first things first.Check our game-by-game coverage from all group matches at the ATP World Tour Finals in London - including Andy Murray - on skysports.com/tennis, our app for mobile devices and iPad and our Twitter account @skysportstennis.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says Roy Hodgson should consider including Jermain Defoe in his England squad for Euro 2016. Nike Air Max Køb . Defoes 15th Premier League goal of the season helped defeat Chelsea 3-2 on Saturday and victory over Everton - live on Sky Sports on Wednesday night - would secure the Black Cats top-flight status.The former West Ham and Tottenham striker has proved instrumental in guiding Sunderland towards safety and, with Danny Welbecks place on the plane to France now in doubt, Allardyce believes 33-year-old Defoe deserves to be considered by Hodgson. Allardyce believes Defoe deserves another chance at international level I just think that, if Roy needed anybody to go along with the experience Jermain has when he needs a goal - maybe not from the start sometimes - Jermain would be your man if he felt he needed it, because he has proven that this year, said the Sunderland boss.Hes had a big run of games that he has not had for a few years and he has been a consistent performer at the highest level again and scored 18 goals in all competitions. That leaves him around the third or the fourth highest scorer in the Premier League in all competitions this year, which is pretty miraculous in a team thats been sat in the bottom three or four all season.Defoe has won 55 caps for England to date, scoring 19 goals. His last cap came as a substitute in the 2-0 friendly home defeat by Chile at Wembley in November 2013. Sam Allardyce looks ahead to Wednesdays match against Everton Allardyce added: For the first time for a few years, hes consistently played week in and week out for us at Sunderland and delivered, and delivered in a position that people questioned that he could deliver in, which is as a central striker on his own. Defoe has been in fine goalscoring form in recent weeks Hes done all that in whats been a struggle for us for most of the year, so its a great credit to him and his professionalism and dedication, and his ability in front of goal.We couldnt have asked for the ball to drop any better than it did for that third goal [against Chelsea] to Jermain. Hed be the one on the pitch we would have all wanted it to drop to, and he didnt disappoint us.

When the final penalty kick left the right foot of Brazil forward Neymar on Saturday night, swimmer Yusra Mardini clutched her older sister Sarahs hand. Air Max 720 Wholesale Free Shipping . In the moment, Yusra was torn. Since she was a young girl growing up in the Syrian capital of Damascus, she has been a fan of Spanish football club FC Barcelona, which Neymar joined in 2013. She calls him her idol and says he, along with her other idols Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, made her believe she, too, could one day become an Olympian.But tonight, she said, I am cheering for Germany. Germany, now, is my home.One year ago on this day, Mardini, 18, and her sister became heroes to 18 people and symbols of hope to refugees around the world. Since being named to the 2016 Refugee Olympic Team, a first-of-its-kind team comprised of 10 refugees from four nations who competed at the Rio Summer Games under the Olympic flag, Mardinis story has garnered international attention. In Rio, she met swimmers Missy Franklin and Conor Dwyer and was overcome with emotion the first time she dove into the Olympic pool and realized she was swimming in the same water as Phelps.My life has changed completely, said Yusra, who competed in the 100-meter freestyle and 100-meter butterfly. It is incredible.No. It is unbelievable, Sarah corrected. One year ago today, we were in the boat. She looks down at her white iPhone, then picks it up and lights up its display. Yusra, look what time it is: 8:16 p.m. One year ago at this time, we are still in the water.The Mardini sisters story is as improbable and inspiring as any to come out of these Games, yet one that likely would never have been told if not for Yusra being identified as a candidate for the Refugee Team. After the war in Syria destroyed their familys home and the swimming facility where they trained, their parents agreed to allow Yusra and Sarah to flee the war-torn nation with two of their fathers cousins and a friend.They flew to Istanbul, Turkey, took a bus to Izmir with a group of about 30 refugees and smugglers and waited for four days before boarding a dinghy with 18 other refugees, including a 6-year-old boy, bound for the Greek island of Lesvos.On their first attempt at the crossing, they were stopped by border agents and turned around. On their second trip, the engine on their dinghy broke and the boat began to take on water. It was dark, the waters choppy and only the Mardinis and two men on board the boat knew how to swim.In the beginning, Sarah told me, Dont help anyone. Just go. Swim with me. If we drown, we drown, Yusra said. But then she was the first one who got out of the boat to push.For three-and-a-half hours, the sisters swam, fighting the current and the weight of their clothing, pulling and pushing the boat to help it remain on course. The two men also jumped into the water to help and took turns pushing the boat, but they eventually gave up, too exhausted to continue.They couldnt handle as much because they are normal people, Yusra said. We can handle more because we are sports people. At first, no one wanted us to jump in the water because we are girls. When we get in the water, the guys from Somalia were like, My god, you are brave. I was like, Shut up now. Please shut up. Dont tell me Im courageous. When we arrive safely, then say whatever you want.Throughout the swim, the Mardinis said there were times they werent sure theyd made the right choice to leave Syria, when they didnt believe they would make it to Lesvos alive.We missed home, Sarah said. You think, I dont want this trip. You are in the middle of the sea. No one is hearing you and no one is helping you. So you keep going.Around 10 oclock that night, the group arrived on the shores of Lesvos, safe but staring down months of grueling travel on foot and by bus. The Mardinis eventually arrived in a refugee camp in Berlin, where an Egyptian interpreter connected them with a swim coach who agreed to train the girls who had saved a boatload of people. It had been months since that night in the Mediterranean Sea, and the sisters wanted nothing more than to return to the water and to once again train in the sport they loved.In the water that night, I thought it would be a shame if we die in the water and we are swimmers, Yusra said.No, Sarah corrected. That it would be a shame to let the people with us die and we are swimmers. We didnt care about ourselves.For both sisters, swimming has been their passion and competing in the Olympics a childhood dream. Now that Yusra is an Olympian, they say their work has only begun. On Monday, Sarah, who speaks multiple Arabic dialects and English, will return to Greece, where she is volunteering to greet refugees upon their arrival and provide them with food, water and guidance. She has also started her own human rights organization in Berlin, which she named RTR, for Refugee to Refugee.I hurt my shoulder that night in the water, so for months I could not train with my sister, Sarah said. I decided to do something with my mind. Now I am a human rights activist. I want to give something back to others like me and my sister, not just from Syria but from all over the world. We have our papers and our family in Berlin. We have everything, so I want to give back to the others. I will be the wall they will rest on.Yusra, too, wants to help refugees, and she wants to become an activist who fights for the right for girls to participate in sports. She says already, she has received many emails and Twitter messages from women and young girls from around the world who say theyve been inspired by her story, and she makes a point to respond to every message.In Syria, the girl who does sport, she is called a whore by people, Yusra said. This is how closed their minds are in how they think. We fought all the time to swim. But we were lucky. We came from a good family. My mom and dad, they support us. But now we are still fighting and doing our best to rise women up in any way we can.One year ago, it would have been impossible for Yusra and Sarah to imagine their lives today, to believe they would be watching the final football game of the Rio Olympics from white leather chairs at a party thrown by Visa, Yusras Olympic sponsor, at an opulent hotel overlooking Copacabana Beach.One year ago, it was difficult for the Mardini sisters to imagine a future at all.

It was a great match for me and I was the favorite to win, so its important for me.There was no repeat upset this time for the 24-year-old Schwartzman, who saved two match points when he beat top-seeded David Goffin in the semifinals.I am happy because the week was really good for me, Schwartzman said. I played a great first set and fought back. Richard improved a lot in the second set and playeed really well. Cheap Air Max 720 Sale.

Ive improved a lot. Its really nice for me.
