Max Litchfield has set himself a medal target after qualifying for the Rio Olympics by winning his first British title. The 21-year-old City of Sheffield swimmer recorded a time of 4:12.05 to clinch the mens 400m individual medley on day three at the British Swimming Championships in Glasgow - which double as Great Britains Olympic trials.That was inside the qualifying standard of 04:12.08 and Litchfield immediately set himself the target of going a few seconds quicker. I have dreamed of this day for years and years, he said afterwards, I always said when I was younger that I would make that Olympic team and that has become a real experience since then.It is a bit weird really but I am really, really happy.I have made the team now and, come Rio, if I get the chance to go there then obviously we can look to make the final and then kick on and get a medal.There is no reason why I cant. 4:08 won the worlds (World Championships) last year so there is no reason why I cant drop another few seconds. Fran Halsall was disappointed despite winning the Womens 50m Freestyle There were mixed feelings, however, for several other title winners who failed to meet the Rio qualifying times, including Fran Halsall and Aimee Wilmott.Halsall stormed to the 50m freestyle title in 24.48 but was shy of the qualifying time of 24.37.The 26-year-old Loughborough University swimmer said: Trials are hard for me, it is me against myself.I have been doing really well, training has been going well and to come here and only swim that time is quite disappointing. Aimee Willmott is all smiles after winning the Womens 200m Butterfly Wilmott, the 23-year-old from Middlesbrough who competed at the 2012 Olympics, won the Womens Open 200m butterfly with a time of 2:08.82, outside the Rio qualifying time of 02.06.51.Jazz Carlin won the womens 800m freestyle in 08:27.49 but was more than four seconds outside the Rio benchmark.The Welsh swimmer, who won 200m freestyle gold on Monday and will race again in the 400m later in the week, said: It is difficult. I want to be at my best and get on that Olympic team.It has been a bit of a tussle for a couple of weeks. I have really put a lot of pressure on myself to not miss out on the Olympics, four years ago it was heart-breaking for me.Duncan Scott shocked himself when he won British gold for the first time in the Mens Open 100m freestyle, breaking a Scottish record he had broken earlier in the qualifiers.Scott finished ahead of Englishman Ben Proud in the final in a time of 48.66, albeit outside the Olympic qualifying time of 48.16.It was a shock to me. But Im absolutely delighted, the 18-year-old University of Stirling swimmer said.Its my first full year at Stirling and its showing. Its a great facility and a great place to train.

It was the second consecutive win for the Pacers (2-5), who lost their first five preseason games. Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds.

Soukalova missed only one target and completed the 15-kilometre course in 40 minutes, 32.6 seconds for both victories in this seasons individual discipline. Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. Harold Landry Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. Rashaan Evans Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. GLENDALE, Ariz. -- When the NFL schedule was first released, Sundays game against the Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints figured to be a Week 15 classic NFC matchup with plenty on the line for both franchises as the playoffs approached.Now?With each team out of the running -- the Cardinals limping along at 5-8-1 and the Saints at 5-8 in danger of their third straight losing season -- there isnt a whole lot on the line when the two clubs collide at University of Phoenix Stadium.It holds about as much drama as one of those throw-in bowl games in college football, the ones with the funky names and below-average teams.Unless, of course, you factor in this underlying little factoid: It will be a matchup of the NFLs top-ranked defense of the Cardinals, who are allowing just 285.5 yards per game, against the leagues No. 1-rated offense of the Saints, who are averaging 418.3 yards per game.I guess thats kind of exciting, isnt it? Saints quarterback Drew Brees said sarcastically.No, it will be a great challenge for us in a lot of different areas, our ability to execute. We look at the statistical categories of this defense, and theyre tops in the league in just about every category.When you look at that, you say, Wow, its a big challenge for us to run the football, its a big challenge for us to protect, to get open and to make plays and get points. At the end of the day, its our team against their team, but our offense against their defense just poses a great challenge for us.The Cardinals, NFC West champions a year ago when they went 13-3, have only won two of their last seven games (2-5-1) and not only have they been besieged by injuries to key personnel across the board but they also cut No. 2 wide receiver Michael Floyd this week, just two days after his arrest on suspicion of DUI.Floyds departure puts that much more pressure on veteran Larry Fitzgerald, who ranks second in the league with 91 receptions. It also means the Cardinals need more from J.J. Nelson and John Brown, the latter of whom has dealt with leg cramping issues most of the season brought on by complications from sickle-cell trait.Were not going to change, quarterback Carson Palmer said. Were not putting in new plays, taking out plays. Were running our stuff.So will the Saints, although it hasnt worked very well the past two weeks in back-to-back losses to the Lions and Buccaneers. Brees had zero touchdown and three interceptions in each of those games.Stafford last went two straight games without a touchdown in 2008 and never before in his career had he been intercepted three timess in consecutive games.dddddddddddd He did have two potential touchdown passes dropped during the loss to Tampa Bay, and the Saints were flagged 13 times for 104 yards.It was just like one thing after another, Brees said. All the bad things that could have happened, happened. Im a confident guy. I know how to correct things when they occur. A lot of its just with my process and how to prepare, and then how I take that to game day. I know Ive got to be better in certain ways. Ill do that.Saints head coach Sean Payton has no doubts about that. He knows his star quarterback, who turns 38 next month, will bounce back.I think hes one of those guys thats extremely competitive, Payton said. Just like we do as coaches, when you watch the tape, you feel like there are things that certainly we could do better and put him in better positions. It angers you. It frustrates you.To be at this stage of the season, you always want to be playing for something. I think that those are the things that drive the guys like him, and I think youll see that.Arizonas defense will be playing short-handed, as starting inside linebacker Deone Bucannon (ankle) and safety Tyvon Branch (groin) have both been placed on season-ending injured reserve. Safety Tyrann Mathieu, however, will play after missing four of the last five games because of a nagging shoulder injury.Still, the Cardinals know theyll have their hands full against Brees and a pass rush that could expose Arizonas patchwork offensive line, which seems to change from week to week.A loss would guarantee the Cardinals their first losing season in head coach Bruce Arians four years in Arizona. All the adversity his team has faced this year would seem to be a full plate for any coach, but Arians brushed it off.No, there are guys that have it a whole lot worse than I do, Arians said. Its just part of the job. You embrace it and you go on. Injuries or whatever it is, you have to get a game plan and go until the season is over.One of the consistent positives in the Cardinals disappointing season has been the continued production and versatility of running back David Johnson, who stands a chance to become only the third player in NFL history to finish with more than 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards.Johnson already has 1,085 rushing yards and hes 255 receiving yards from 1,000 with three games to play. Marshall Faulk (1999) and Roger Craig (1985) are the only players to accomplish the feat.
