A day before her 23rd birthday, Dipa Karmakar became the first Indian to qualify for the apparatus finals in an Olympic gymnastics competition, after she finished eighth in the qualifiers of the vault event. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Larry-Allen-Jersey/ .?Im happy but wish I could have done a bit better, Dipa said. In practice, I perform way better than this.Dipa, who is taking part in her first ever Games, scored 14.850 points from her two vaults at the Rio Olympic Arena on Sunday afternoon, which temporarily placed her at sixth. She then had to wait for nearly five hours for 38 other competitors to finish their vaults, before her qualification was secure. There were some nervous moments towards the end of the qualifiers when Canadas Olsen Shallon pushed Dipa down to the eighth, the last qualifying spot.?As the Produnova vault was the first thing I attempted today and it did not go as expected, it immediately put me in a bad mood, Dipa said. It wasnt very good. I was hoping for a better score from the first vault and because it was low. I was really disappointed. My landing had been better in training. My hip touched the mat today which wasnt in the plans. That I have reached the final is an amazing achievement.USAs Simone Biles, the three-time world champion, topped the qualifying round with a score of 16.050. The top eight gymnasts will now compete in the individual apparatus finals on August 14.Simone Biles came up to me and wished me luck to do well in Produnova, Dipa said. She is like a star to me and difficult to think of standing beside her. Im so overwhelmed.At the Olympic Games, Dipa was to compete in exactly the same two vaults as she did at the worlds: the first being the front handspring double somersault (the Produnova) with a D-(difficulty) score points value of 7 and the second, a Tsukahara stretched double twist (also known as the Zamolodchikova) with a D-score points value of 6. Dipa scored 15.100 in the Produnova (7 for difficulty + 8.1 for Execution) and 14.6 in the Zamolodchikova (6 for difficulty + 8.6 for execution). During qualification, she was the only gymnast to successfully attempt the Produnova.?Dipa added that her coach, Bisweshwar Nandi, was very happy since she executed what he had taught her to do.Dipas total of 14.850 was better than her scores at the 2015 World Championship vault final in Glasgow where she finished fifth with 14.683, but could not nail as high a score in Rio off her first vault as she had done in Glasgow.In the all-round individual standing, Dipa finished 51st with 51.665 points in a field of 98 gymnasts. She did not enter the all-round competition. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Jourdan-Lewis-Jersey/ . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Daryl-Johnston-Jersey/ . "Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus. The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Chaz-Green-Jersey/ . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.CARLSBAD, Calif. -- After a near six-year absence, former world No. 1 Martina Hingis is back on the WTA Tour. But Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam singles champion, insists her return will only be in doubles and not singles. The 32-year-old Hingis began her second comeback to the tour Wednesday, teaming with Daniela Hantuchova for a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Julia Goerges and Darija Jurak in the Southern California Open. Hingis has retired twice previously, the first time in early 2003 at 22 and the last time in November 2007. "I always had it in the back of my head in the last six years," said Hingis, who has been coaching for the last two years. "Now, being so much closer to it, being closer to the game, closer to the matches, I was like lets try it again and see if I can have a great time." Her last WTA match was a second-round loss to Chinas Peng Shuai at an event in Beijing in September 2007. But recent comments made by current tennis commentator Lindsay Davenport, the three-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1 ranked player, that Hingis was using the doubles comeback to launch a full-fledge return to singles later this fall, has fueled rampant speculation. All of which the "Swiss Miss" swatted away like a weak second serve. "Its a different world," said Hingis, a recent inductee into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. "Even Team Tennis now, its brutal. Its only one set, but still like the next day I wake up and you have to put so much more effort into it. Playing tournaments, thats the easy part. Its all the grind behind it, behind the scenes that people dont see. The six straight hours of training. At 17, everything seemed to be so easy. Now. Im almost twice the age." Hingis just completed her second season of playing Team Tennis, leading the Washington Kastless to the championship and earning her second consecutive MVP award, all of which has her ready for her next return. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Ezekiel-Elliott-Jersey/. "Its kind of weird just to play doubles," Hingis said. "Team Tennis always gets you in great shape. Being the MVP, that helps, I guess, the confidence. I played a lot more the last two years than I did in the first three years when I stopped." Hingis schedule after the Southern California Open includes two more warm-up tournaments at Toronto and Cincinnati before playing the U.S. Open, all with Hantuchova. "I dont have any expectations," Hingis said. "Obviously, I wouldnt put myself in this position if I didnt feel fine enough to be able compete at this level. Well see. Team Tennis, it was good enough. Will it be good enough in this world? Its another question." Hingis, who won 43 career singles titles, was also an accomplished doubles player with nine Grand Slam titles, including a calendar-year Grand Slam in 1998, and 37 doubles titles overall. A chronic ankle injury forced Hingis into her first retirement in 2003 and she was sidelined three years before she launched her first comeback in 2006. But her return fell far short of the standard set by the woman who held the No. 1 spot for 209 weeks, fourth longest in WTA history. Hingis was nothing close to the player who was the youngest Grand Slam singles winner at 16 years, three months when she captured the Australian Open in 1997 and later became the youngest female player to ascend to the No. 1 ranking. Hingis ended her first comeback under a cloud of controversy after she revealed in November 2007 that she tested positive for cocaine after losing in the third round at Wimbledon that year. Although Hingis professed her innocence, she said she was retiring rather than fighting the charges.
