RIO DE JANEIRO -- Usain Bolt rarely complains about going too fast.After the rushed road to Sunday nights 100-meter final, he had to make an exception.Faced with a turnaround time of barely over an hour between the semifinal and final, Bolt had trouble gearing up to be at his best for the marquee event of the Olympics.He won his record-setting third straight gold medal, but his postrace comments were tinged with slams about the scheduling.I dont know who decided that, Bolt said. It was really stupid. So, thats why the race was slow. Theres no way you can run and go back around and run fast times again.It was a decision made with broadcasters in mind more than runners. In the recent past, 100-meter sprinters have been given more than two hours between semifinals and finals.Its the first time Ive had to jog to the warmup area to get ready for the final, Bolt said.He said after the semifinal, he felt great. I was like Yo, I probably could run a fast time, he said.For him, fast often equates to something in the world-record range of 9.58 seconds.And slow would qualify as the 9.81-second time he ran to win Sundays gold medal. It wasnt among the 10 fastest times hes ever put on the board.He wasnt the only one complaining.American Justin Gatlin, the silver medalist, said the quick turnaround sapped his strength so much that he couldnt even think about winning.I didnt because I was tired going into the finals and I was just like, Let me focus on what I need to focus on, he said. We really only had 30 minutes to get ready for the finals.Tracks governing body, the IAAF, sets the schedule, and the International Olympic Committee signs off on it.If theyre happy, were happy, said IOC spokesman Mark Adams.In the most widely cited case of schedule shifting, the opening round of the womens 200 was moved from Monday evening to the day session at the request of one of Americas best-known athletes, Allyson Felix, who wanted to try for gold medals in both the 200 and the 400. The 400 final is Monday night.It was considered a win-win for the Olympics and NBC, which pays the most sizable chunk of the $4.1 billion in worldwide broadcast rights the IOC received for the 2014 and 2016 Olympics.Felix hurt her ankle in the spring and was not at full health at the Olympic trials. She made the field for the 400 but not the 200.Less publicized was the decision to push the starting time of the night sessions back to 8:30 p.m. local time, which, in turn, put Bolt & Co., on TV smack in the middle of prime time in the United States. A late start also means a compressed schedule.Asked whether NBC had a role in the scheduling, communications vice president Chris McCloskey said the IOC and international federations make the schedule.Chris Turner of the IAAF said the tight schedule has been used in the past -- most notably, at the Atlanta Games in 1996, when Donovan Bailey won gold and set a world record.Well, of course, take the athletes views on board, Turner said. In fact, we will actively seek them at every major championship.They didnt have to look too hard in this case.I wasnt pleased, Bolt said, answering the first question he was asked at the winners news conference. Thats never good. You need time to recover, especially as Im getting older. Im not happy with the schedule, and hopefully theyll change it back.Some good news for those looking for records: Theres no back-to-back racing in the 200 meters, which has its first round Tuesday, semifinals Wednesday and the final on Thursday. And Bolt says hes feeling so good, hes looking to lower his world record, which stands at 19.19 seconds.If I can get [a] good nights rest after the semifinals, its a possibility I can do it, Bolt said. Thats something I really want. Vapormax 2019 Blanche . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. Vapormax 2019 Noir Pas Cher . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Vapormax Flyknit 2 Noir Pas Cher .

The Queensland Oaks is a long-term goal for Benfica Princess who takes on older horses when she runs at Eagle Farm.Benfica Princess has won her past two starts with the latest a last-to-first victory at the Sunshine Coast over 1600m.She will drop back slightly in distance to the 1500m of Saturdays Tattersalls Plate at Eagle Farm.Benfica Princess is trained at the Gold Coast by Kelly Doughty who has a big opinion of her as a future middle distance horse.Doughtys husband Gary said the stable didnt usuallt like to start three-year-old fillies ouit of their age group but the race fitted perfectly into Benfica Princesss program.We usually like to keep them to their own age group. But she beat older horses at the Sunshine Coast and she did it well, Doughty saaid.ddddddddddddThere are not many horses who could do what she did there. She really does have a big finish.Doughty said Benfica Princess would step back up to the 1600m in a fortnight before having a summer spell.We are then thinking about a Queensland Oaks campaign. It is a fair way off but she does show potential, Doughty said.Leading jockey Jeff Lloyd has stuck with Benfica Princess after winning on her at the Sunshine Coast.She does show plenty of ability and can pick up when you urge her along. he said.Benfica Princess is one of only a few starters to date for her sire Benfica who now stands at Aquis Farm at Canungra.
