RIO DE JANEIRO -- In a flash, the Jamaican sprinter with her hair dyed green and yellow flew down the track, through the interview room and out of the stadium.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce can only hope to be that fast in the 100 meters when she goes for a third straight Olympic title Saturday.Make room, Usain Bolt, youre not the only one trying for a little bit of history on the track in Rio de Janeiro.Fraser-Pryce is often overshadowed by her famous teammate, but really takes a backseat to no one. Shes the unquestioned favorite, too, even if shes been dealing with a sore toe. Fraser-Pryce had the fastest time in the first round Friday in 10.96 seconds.But dont hand her that crown just yet. She still has to make it out of the semifinals and hold off a talented field in the final.Anybody can be beat. Anything can happen on any day, said American sprinter Tianna Bartoletta, one of five women to crack 10.8 seconds this year. You dont go into a race thinking about how to beat a specific person. You go into a race thinking about how to conquer yourself and execute your perfect race.The 29-year-old Fraser-Pryce, who was the flag bearer for the Jamaicans at the opening ceremony, won the 100 at the world championships in Beijing last August.When you have five girls who can run 10.7 and better, its going to be a good race, American sprinter English Gardner said. I definitely foresee a fast time in this final. If I could take a wild guess, Id say someones going to run 10.6 and hopefully its me. I have one job, and thats to stop the clock, and not let any other girl do it before me.Here are a few women who can give Fraser-Pryce a run for her title:ELAINE THOMPSON: She has the worlds fastest time this season (10.70 seconds) and beat Fraser-Pryce at the Jamaican trials. In her country, Thompson is considered the next big thing.GARDNER, BARTOLETTA: Finished 1-2 at the U.S. Olympic Trials last month. Gardner always talks about wanting to shock the world, and this would definitely qualify. Bartoletta will get another chance at a gold medal next week in the long jump, where shes the reigning world champion.DAFNE SCHIPPERS: The former heptathlon standout is known more for the 200 meters. But the 24-year-old Dutchwoman finished second in the 100 at the world championships last August in Beijing.TORI BOWIE: Taken in by her grandmother as an infant after she was left at a foster home, Bowie was coaxed into track as a teenager and has shined ever since. She won a bronze medal at last years worlds.MURIELLE AHOURE: Carried the flag for Ivory Coast in the opening ceremony. Could be carrying away a medal as a dark horse. Born in the Ivory Coast, she moved to Paris when she was 2 and the U.S. at 12. She has a degree in criminal law from the University of Miami. Comprar Vapormax Plus Baratas .

Vapormax Flyknit Rebajas .com) - The Calgary Flames aim to bounce back from their first regulation home loss of the campaign on Friday night when they host a Detroit Red Wings club that they swept in three meetings a season ago. DETROIT -- An offensive lineman who played back in the 1950s, Dick Stanfel didnt have a lot of stats floating around to help his Hall of Fame case.What he had was people like Marv Levy who were willing to stand up on his behalf.I realize he played so long ago that a lot of the people that are voting now dont even remember the time, but this guy is so deserving, said Levy, the Hall of Fame former coach of the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. I remember going back to Hall of Fame meetings where guys like Gino Marchetti and Artie Donovan would tell me he was the best offensive lineman that ever played.Nearly six decades after the end of his playing career, Stanfel is being enshrined posthumously into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week. In a class of inductees headlined by more recent luminaries Brett Favre and Tony Dungy, Stanfel offers a history lesson -- a chance for fans to learn about and appreciate one of the games standouts from the pre-Super Bowl era.Stanfel played seven seasons with Detroit and Washington, leading the Lions to NFL championships in 1952 and 1953. He earned All-Pro honors five times in his relatively short playing career.You hate to use the word technician, but he was, Hall of Famer Mike Ditka said. Dick was a hell of a football player.Stanfel would eventually work for Ditka, serving on his staff with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints as part of a coaching career that spanned 40 years.Stanfel died last year at age 87. Hed come close to making the hall in 1993 and 2012, falling short as a finalist.After dads death, we pretty much had resigned ourselves that he would just be forgotten, Stanfels son Rich said.Instead, Stanfel was selected as a finalist again last August by the seniors committee, a couple of months after his death. He was voted in last February and will be enshrined Saturday in Canton, Ohio, with the rest of his class.Rich Stanfel said the family has been ecstatic that Dick finally made it in.Were really happy to be a part of this, he said. Its been pretty much an amazing ride for us right now.After being drafted by the Lions in 1951, Stanfel missed that season with a knee injury. He recovered from that setback and played the next four years with Detroitt.ddddddddddddAfter three seasons with Washington, he ended his playing career at age 31; Redskins coach Joe Kuharich left to go to Notre Dame, and Stanfel went with him as an assistant coach.That type of move would be unusual nowadays -- and the early retirement might have hurt Stanfels Hall of Fame chances -- but Rich Stanfel said the financial ramifications of going from playing to coaching were different then.Im glad dad took that opportunity, Rich Stanfel said. He might not have gotten another opportunity to coach, and he made an entire career of it.Levy, who was the coach at California from 1960-63, hired Stanfel as a line coach. Stanfel had played at the University of San Francisco and was born in the area.He blew me away with how well he taught, said Levy, who will be Stanfels presenter for his enshrinement. I recall one instance when he wasnt happy with how a guard was pulling and trapping an outside linebacker, so he stepped in -- no pads, no helmet -- to demonstrate, and Ive never seen anybody do it better than he did.By the mid-1980s, Stanfel was with the Bears, coaching their offensive line. He was part of Ditkas staff in 1985 when Chicago dominated the league en route to a Super Bowl title.He was the most consummate line coach Ive ever been around, Ditka said. He was a great teacher, and he related to the guys.Stanfel was on Ditkas staff in New Orleans before retiring from coaching after the 1998 season. He could have easily dropped off the radar as a Hall of Fame candidate after that, but Levy in particular wouldnt let it happen.Marv Levy would always come back to that committee when they asked him, `Who do you think should be in? Rich Stanfel said. And hed always, you know: `First and foremost, Dick Stanfel.Levy insists he wasnt alone in the push to help Stanfel reach the Hall of Fame, an effort that at long last has succeeded.I and so many other current Hall of Famers are really elated that this so-well-deserved honor is finally taking place, Levy said. Ive been among many whove campaigned for him.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
