RIO DE JANEIRO -- World-record holder Usain Bolt did not have nearly the fastest time in the preliminary rounds of the mens 200-meter dash, but that was partly because he slowed down so much near the finish line while leading his heat that he could have been pushing a grocery cart. Plus, the heats were relatively early, starting around noon as opposed to the late-night finals.I was a little tired, but it was a morning session and Im not a very good morning person, Bolt said. I just came out to qualify.Not surprisingly, he did so, winning his heat with a time of 20.28.That was well off his world record of 19.19 as well as the days top time of 20.09 by Canadas Andre De Grasse. It also was the 15th-fastest time of the day.The heats are not about records, though, especially for those who are fast enough that they can be confident they will advance without running their absolute fastest race.Its not about time right now. Its about getting to the straightaway, holding your form and getting to the finish line, said Justin Gatlin, who advanced to the semifinal round with a time of 20.42. If you think about time, that will get into your head too much.The scheduling of the track events has been a little odd here. The turnaround between the 100-meter semifinals and final was not much more than hour, which both Bolt and Gatlin said caused them to have slower times than they had hoped. The triple-jump final was held in the morning Tuesday, starting at 10:50 a.m., which gold medalist Christian Taylor of the U.S. said he had never experienced before.It required early-morning starts for the Olympians.Its not just the run thats tiring -- its the transportation getting to and from the athletes village to here because of the traffic, Gatlin said. You cant stay up too late, but how could I not stay up to watch the womens 400 final last night? I had to make sure I watched that, and then got right back upstairs to go to bed.Bolt, who won his third consecutive gold in the 100 on Sunday, is the favorite in the 200, and he will try to win his third gold in the 200 as well. The semifinals of the 200 are Wednesday and the final is Thursday.American LaShawn Merritt, who won bronze in the 400 on Sunday, also qualified for the 200 semis with a time of 20.15 (the fourth-best of the day), as did American Ameer Webb with a time of 20.31.China Jerseys Stitched .

China Jerseys Wholesale . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.Roy Hodgson does not believe Jamie Vardy dived at the weekend and has sympathy for the striker following his angry outburst that could see him miss yet more of Leicesters title run-in.Vardy was shown a second yellow card after going to ground under pressure from Angelo Ogbonna during Sundays 2-2 draw with West Ham, with referee John Moss judging he tumbled too easily, prompting a furious reaction from the England striker that has left him with an FA improper conduct charge.The 29-year-old has until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge, which could extend the existing one-match ban that currently rules him out of the home clash with Swansea on Sunday, live on Sky Sports. Vardy (L) reacts angrily after referee Jonathan Moss shows him his second yellow card But Hodgson insists he has no problem with Vardys attitude, saying: You take everything that the player brings with him. You take Wayne Rooney - he, in my recollection, was pretty hot-headed, often getting himself into scrapes on the field, but you take what the player brings. Vardy got sent off at the weekend, but once again I will go out on a limb: I dont see that. I dont see that as a dive. I just dont. I think he was unbalanced. I dont think it was a penalty either, I think he was unbalanced, running at that speed.I think there was a very slight sort of contact with the defender, who was trying to cover. I think he went down, he lost his balance. I dont think he was trying to dive. Vardy tangled with Ogbonna But of course all the pundits I hear they say, He dived, look how he dived.dddddddddddd I dont see it. I really dont, Im sorry. I wouldnt blame him for that. I sympathise with him, I think he was very, very unlucky.When you get sent off for something where he obviously feels like I feel - there is no doubt he is of that opinion. Roy Hodgson has no worries about Vardys discipline But now he has had to swallow the fact that he has been made to leave the field and then, unfortunately, he has reacted like sometimes human beings react.He hasnt just said to the ref, Thanks very much, I understand. He has called him a few names, but he is a human being and that can happen. The Leicester striker had earlier put his side 1-0 up But I think our disciplinary record over the last few years has been pretty good. I think it will remain good, but I cant guarantee you that a Vardy, a Rooney, or a Dele Alli, or anyone else for that matter, is not going to do that.Also See:Leicester videoLeicester statsLeicester statsGet a ￡10 free bet!
