LONDON -- Two-time Olympic silver medalist Louis Smith apologized Monday for a video in which he and a fellow gymnast appear to mock Islam.Smith and Luke Carson are shown in a leaked video laughing and pretending to pray while shouting Allahu Akbar, or Arabic for God is greatest.I am deeply sorry for the recent video you may have seen, the 27-year-old Smith said in a statement posted on Twitter. I recognize the severity of my mistake and hope it can be used as an example of how important it is to respect others at all times. I have learnt a valuable life lesson and I wholeheartedly apologize.A British tabloid published a clip from the video that was taken at a hotel wedding reception.Smith won silver medals in the pommel horse at the 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. He also won bronze in the pommel horse at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a team bronze in London.Carson, who has competed for Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games and other international events, retired last year because of injuries. He also reportedly apologized.Britains national gymnastics federation said it would investigate the incident, with Smith and Carson both facing possible sanctions.British Gymnastics does not condone the mocking of any faith or religion and is appalled by such behaviors, the federation said. Members who break our code of conduct can face suspension or expulsion from our organization.The Muslim Council of Britain welcomed the federations move.This behavior by leading and decorated sportspeople is sadly a confirmation of how Islamophobia has become acceptable. It is therefore heartening that British Gymnastics has resolved to take swift and decisive action, the Muslim councils deputy secretary general, Dr. Omer El-Hamdoon, said.The supposed apology that has been issued by the two men falls well short of addressing the hurt caused against Muslims, he added. We hope they reflect upon their actions and realize the need for people to follow their faith with dignity. Air Jordan 4 Retro Ireland .

Fremantle veteran Matthew Pavlich has revealed he offered to quit earlier this season, only to be talked out of it by coach Ross Lyon and football operations manager Chris Bond.Pavlich offered to walk away after the shock round-five loss to Carlton, which left the Dockers nursing a 0-5 record and no hope of winning the premiership.Lyon and Bond were keen for Pavlich to play on, and the 34-year-old committed to seeing the season out.We obviously werent going that well and its certainly not in my character to step out and check out, Pavlich said.Its not in my DNA to flick the bails.But I said to them, Is it time for some other younger kids to play? And if thats the case lets shake hands and walk away.But amongst us all we committed to play on and were going to stick to that, and thats certainly to see the season out.Pavlich will notch his 350-game milestone in next weeks home clash with Sydney.The six-time All-Australian quashed speculation he would retire after reaching the milestone, saying he was now fully committed to playing out the season.Instead, Pavlich will be rested from this weeks trek to the Gold Coast, and the round 22 clash with GWS in Sydney.Im not entirely sure where some of the other scuttllebutt has come from.dddddddddddd But really keen to play the season out and see that through, Pavlich said.Pavlich will end his decorated career as one of the greatest players to have ever featured in VFL/AFL ranks.But hell leave without a premiership - not that its an overly sore point.No bad taste, Pavlich replied when asked about missing out on a flag.I mean everyone wants to win a premiership, thats the ultimate goal.Unfortunately it wont be the case. But Ive tried to never define myself by results, Im not necessarily defined by football.Ultimately the test for me will be as a father and a husband, and hopefully thats been pretty good up until this point, and I continue to do so.Pavlich has been a solid rather than spectacular contributor for the Dockers this season.In 14 games, the veteran forward has booted 24 goals and averaged 13 possessions.Its a far cry from what he produced in his prime, but Pavlich said it was just part of getting older.The Dockers currently sit 16th on the table with a 3-13 record, but Pavlich is optimistic they can bounce back quickly next year.
