Triple jumper Renjith Maheshwari, sprinter Dharambir Singh, and Jinson Johnson became the latest Indian athletes to qualify for the Rio Olympics. Maheswari and Dharambir set new national records in their respective events on the concluding day of the Grand Prix in Bengaluru on Monday, while middle distance runner Johnson qualified for the mens 800m event after clocking 1:45.98.With 38 (20 men + 18 women)?athletes qualifying till July 11, the cut-off date for entry, this will be the countrys largest-ever track and field Olympic contingent.Maheshwari, who will be making his third straight Olympic appearance, made the Rio cut with a leap of 16.93m in his third attempt, the qualifying norm being 16.85m. Egged on by a raucous bunch of spectators, he took his performance several notches higher, with a jump of 17.30 in his final attempt to shatter the existing national record of 17.17 set by Arpinder Singh at the 2014 National Inter-State meet in Lucknow. This, incidentally, is the first time in six years that Renjith has breached the 17m mark. His last 17m showing being at the Commonwealth Games 2010 with a leap of 17.07.Though I was under pressure, I was confident of qualifying for the Olympics. I havent been participating in too many competitions and there were minor flaws in my technique which I have been working on. In the run-up to the Olympics, I think I need to train abroad, said Renjith, who recovered from a lower abdomen injury only two weeks before the Inter-State meet earlier this month in Hyderabad.His previous two Olympic performances, however, have been far from encouraging, with three consecutive fouls at the London Games and a 35th place finish in Beijing in 2008.Dharambir, clocked 20.45s, bettering the national record of 20.66s to become the first Indian athlete since Perumal Subramaniam at the 1980 Moscow Olympics to qualify for the mens 200m event. The qualification norm for the event was set at 20.50s. Dharambir was slapped with a two-year suspension for evading a dope test in 2012.Putting up a creditable show, the second-best by an Indian male athlete since Sri Ram Singhs 1:45.77 show in the 800m at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, Jinson said he came within touching distance of qualifying at the inter-state meet in Hyderabad with a timing of 1:46.43 earlier this month. The Olympic qualifying standard for the event is set at 1:46.00. A steady but notable improvement in his performance over the last two years - 1:47.80 in 2014 and 1:47.56 in 2015 - also paid off.I was mindful of Srirams show and glad that I could dip below 1:46 today. The weather and track also helped, said Jinson, who won all three legs of the Asian Grand Prix in Thailand last year. The last Indian athlete to qualify for the mens 800 event was Charles Borromeo at the Moscow Olympics in 1984.Promising female long jumper V Neena leaped 6.66m, falling short of the Olympic qualifying standard of 6.70m by four cms.

Cheap Authentic Jordan 4 . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. The North American League Championship Series (NA LCS) quarterfinals continued on Sunday evening with Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) and Team Liquid (TL) meeting in the playoffs for the second straight split. CLG, the defending North American split champion, was the favorite for the matchup and looked strong coming into the playoffs. TL was inconsistent and entered the knockout stages as a question mark. The question was not about talent but rather whether an inconsistent team could put it all together and show up in a big series. When the dust settled, CLG moved on to the semifinals.CLG showcased its understanding of the new patch and abused the correct champions for aggressive pushes, rotations and ganks. It would lead to a dominating 3-1 set and help establish plenty of intrigue for CLGs next matchup against Team SoloMid. CLGs current macro-intensive play and swift decision-making will prove a tough taskk for the North American juggernaut dream team.ddddddddddddTL showed glimpses of hope throughout the set. In its lone victory, TL snowballed a victory after a rather slow and solid laning phase. From the 12-minute marker on, TL correctly pushed the ignition and forced advantageous fights. It would lead to an overall kill score of 22-8. But the biggest victory was how TL sustained the lead and controlled the map. It could be a preview of how Team SoloMid attacks CLG: Isolate priority targets and force difficult fights.Overall, CLG played incredibly well and won convincingly, with Game 4 producing the teams most lopsided victory in the set. If the defending split champions continue their consistency and adaptation, it could be another North American title for the teams mantle. ' ' '
