RIO DE JANEIRO -- Just like four years ago in London, Alistair Brownlee grabbed a British flag, slowed to a trot and then walked across the finish line to win the gold medal in the mens Olympic triathlon.
Matt Pryor Jersey .He dropped to the ground in exhaustion again.Only this time, moments later he got celebrate with his little brother.Jonathan Brownlee upgraded his bronze from 2012 to silver on Thursday. Plus, he didnt need medical attention after finishing the race at a cloudless Copacabana Beach like he did after his run through Hyde Park, which delayed both his celebration and the medal ceremony.The pair broke away halfway through the 10-kilometer run and Alistair Brownlee finished in 1 hour, 45 minutes, 1 second, ahead of his brother, whos two years younger, by six seconds.They stayed on the ground for a long time, then embraced each other.That was a lot more emotional that Ive ever been before, the younger brother said. In London, gold and bronze were incredible but it wasnt gold and silver. And to achieve that ... you literally could do no better.They had already hopped to their feet by the time Henri Schoeman of South Africa came in 42 seconds later for bronze.Sibling rivalries arent usually played out like this on the Olympic stage, but its actually a moment they thought they might have a chance at four years ago.It was flipping close in the end and then Javier Gomez Noya got between us, Alistair Brownlee said. Today I knew if it went right we could do it.The silver medalist at the London Games, however, wasnt in the field after breaking his left arm two months ago while training for Rio, opening the way for this 1-2 finish by the Brownlee brothers.Alistair Brownlee said he didnt plan out the replica finish with the flag and the slowing down to a trot. He said he visualizes everything else about the race, the one-loop ocean swim, the steep, hilly, 24-mile bike ride and the 6.2-mile run, but not the ending or the elation.I never allow myself to think about crossing the finish line, he said. You just do it.Ben Kanute of the U.S. got an up-close look at the Brownlees, staying with them coming out of the water and dismounting his bike before fading halfway through the grueling run and tottering across in 29th place.I put myself in a position to finish really well, but that was some of the hardest swimming and biking Ive ever done, Kanute said. and I think by the time I hit 5K on the run, the fireworks just started and it was just trying to survive.Polluted waters were a major concern leading up to the Rio Games, but Alistair Brownlee said he had no complaints.The water on the beach was absolutely fine, he said, and Ive seen nothing to worry about.Except maybe Schoeman, who reached the podium for the first time in a major race and said come Tokyo in 2020 he might be able to hang with the Brownlee brothers.Maybe in four years time, Ill give them a go for that gold.
Tommy McDonald Jersey . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say.
Jordan Mailata Jersey . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary.

The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. MADISON, Wis. -- Linebacker Vince Biegel attributes Wisconsins success in the face of injuries in part to a refrain familiar in college football locker rooms across the country.What makes the sixth-ranked Badgers stand out is that they have thrived with the next man up philosophy.Tough-as-nails defense has been a constant this season in Madison, helping Wisconsin seize control of the Big Ten West division. The Badgers (8-2, 5-2, No. 7 CFP) can ensure a trip to the league championship game by winning their final two regular-season contests, starting Saturday at Purdue .Weve had some unfortunate luck with players going down, but it goes down to the players that we have, and the mindset they have to step in, Biegel said.A senior leader, Biegel has played for three head coaches. Bret Bielema was still in Madison when Biegel arrived as a redshirt freshman in 2012. Gary Andersen followed for the next two seasons before current coach Paul Chryst took over in 2015.Biegel loves playing for Chryst, a Madison native who has restored stability. As a former Wisconsin player, Chryst embodies the grind-it-out, no-nonsense style on which the program prides itself.While Wisconsin would love to collect five-star recruits, the Badgers seem just fine with molding and developing lesser-regarded prospects.Ive overlooked at times the culture we have at the University of Wisconsin, because its just ingrained in you from Day 1, the precedent and standard we set here, Biegel said. Its not the five-star, the four guys we dont get. Its the hard work in the offseason, the dedication, the focus we have.That attitude, in turn, is handed down from each generation of Badgers, Biegel said, transcending coaching tenures.The Badgers are third in the FBS in scoring defense (12.7 points a game) and eighth in total defense (292.5 yards). Theyre tops in the Big Ten in rushing defense 101.0 yards per game. And theyve done it through a mix of injuries.Starting inside linebacker Chris Orr was lost for the season in the opener against LSU with a knee injury. Jack Cichy, a fellow starter inside, went down with a season-ending pectoral muscle injury lasst month against Iowa.
Bruce Hector Jersey. Biegel missed two games with a foot injury. The Badgers lost both games -- to top-five teams Michigan and Ohio State -- but the defense still performed well with Garret Dooley filling in for Biegel. The Badgers held Michigan to a season-low point total in the 14-7 loss . Dooley remains an important player in the linebacker rotation.Low-key like Chryst, defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox heaps the praise on how his players up and down roster get ready.The guys have done a really good job of understanding the importance of practice, how its their time of going over their craft, Wilcox said. All the components that give you the opportunities to have some success.Ryan Connelly and Leon Jacobs have both been more than capable replacements for Cichy, the leading tackler at the time of his injury.In the secondary, Lubern Figaro has improved through the year after taking over when third cornerback Natrell Jamerson went down with a leg injury early in the season. Jamerson is back, adding to the depth in what has been a solid secondary.Wisconsin had four interceptions last week against Illinois .Up front, Olive Sagapolu will miss the Purdue game this weekend because of a right arm injury. At 6-foot-2, 340 pounds, Sagapolu is a space-eating nose tackle who helps slow down the run.The Badgers turned to 6-4, 288-pound Conor Sheehy to play nose. Its a position that he had played before, and while the defense lost size without Sagapolu, it gained more athleticism up front.None of those D-linemen get enough credit. He might have a bad play now and then, but Conor plays steady football, Wilcox said. Conors a guy who will do anything for the team; very, very smart, well prepared and real good technique.Sheehy had figured to play more end this season, though he practiced at both positions.It doesnt matter to me, Sheehy said, Whatever they need me to play.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP
