RIO DE JANEIRO -- Several swimmers were listed with the wrong qualifying times coming into the Rio Olympics.World governing body FINA was able to correct some mistakes, including that of a Kuwaiti swimmer competing under the International Olympic Committee flag because her countrys national committee has been suspended from taking part in the games.The Guardian newspaper in Britain reported that 17 swimmers from 16 countries still had qualifying times that didnt match the actual results from last years world championships in Kazan, Russia. All were admitted to the games under the universality rule, which is designed to spread the sport to developing countries that would not otherwise have qualified.FINA said the Olympic competition was not affected by the botched times, but there were renewed questions about the murky way swimming is governed and organized.For us, there is no question over the eligibility of the swimmers to compete and we have even gone slightly over the 900-swimmer quota, FINA said in a statement early Friday. The mistakes, if any, did not have any impact whatsoever to the outcome of the competition and to the athletes participation.FINA did change the qualifying times for several dozen swimmers, as well as some relay times for major teams such as Italy and Hungary. The times determine heats and lane assignments during the preliminaries.Further confusing matters, FINA hastily added seven Russian swimmers to its entry list just before the start of competition last Saturday, after they were initially barred from the games over their countrys massive doping scandal. No explanation was given for why the swimmers were allowed to compete, but the decision sparked heated criticism from several athletes, most notably American Lilly King.One swimmer initially listed without a time was Kuwaits Faye Husain, who is competing as an independent athlete in Rio because her countrys national Olympic committee was suspended by the IOC for alleged government interference in several sports federations.The 21-year-old Husain, who recently graduated from Williams College in the United States, competed last year at worlds and posted a time of 27.63 seconds in the 50-meter freestyle. But when that wasnt listed in her Rio entry, she was assigned to the opening heat with less-accomplished swimmers.The mistake was initially missed because she didnt have a representative at the team leader meeting held before the start of the games, where mistakes are supposed to be rectified. As an independent athlete, shes being coached by her college coach, Steve Kuster, who arrived in Rio after the meeting.She had gotten here a day or two before me and noticed that she was entered with no time, Kuster said. She was in the very first heat.From there, the coach said, it was a very long trek to get it right. Finally, the issue was resolved and Husain will be in the fifth of 12 heats when she competes Friday.Kuster believes the proper lane assignment will help her put up a much better time than she would have swimming against much-slower swimmers, even though shes got little chance of advancing out of the preliminaries either way. She tied for 64th at worlds.It was more about being where she rightfully belongs, Kuster said.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

UA Mens Under Armour Phenom Proto Training Shoes Orange White Black .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. http://www.currybasketballshoessale.com/ua-men-s-under-armour-scorpio-running-shoes-blue-grey-black.html . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Curry 2 High Tops . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. UA Mens Under Armour Scorpio Running Shoes White/Grey/Black . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. BOSTON -- David Ortiz celebrated two milestones on one hit and the Boston Red Sox survived two very close calls.Ortizs solo homer in the fifth inning Friday night was his 2,000th hit with Boston and 522nd career home run, moving into sole possession of 19th place on baseballs all-time list and breaking a tie he held with a trio of Hall of Famers including Red Sox great Ted Williams.The man did it all, Ortiz said of Williams after Bostons 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.Ortiz and Mookie Betts had three hits apiece for the Red Sox, who held on after a taking a 5-0 lead and handed the Angels their fourth straight loss and 10th in 11 games. Brock Holt had two doubles in his return to the lineup after missing more than a month with a concussion.C.J. Cron hit a grand slam for the Angels, who lost yet another game and a crucial ninth-inning challenge.Los Angeles nearly scored the tying run in the ninth but Mike Trout had to stop at third on Daniel Navas ground-rule double down the right-field line that bounced over the short wall. The Angels challenged, saying a fan touched the ball while it was still in play, but after a brief video review the call on the field stood.I dont know what theyre looking at in New York, but that ball is absolutely in the field of play when that fan touches it, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Absolutely. Its a joke.Craig Kimbrel finished up for his 17th save. Knuckleballer Steven Wright (9-5) got the win despite struggling with his control when the rain got heavy in the sixth. The rain delayed the game for 1 hour, 35 minutes.The Angels had the potential tying run on third in the eighth when Johnny Giavotella tripled to left-center with one out. The Angels tried getting him home with a safety squeeze that reliever Koji Uehara foiled with a great defensive play. Uehara scooped up Carlos Perezs bunt and flipped the ball with his glove to Christian Vazquez in time to tag Giavotella at the plate.Key play that takes you back to spring training, Boston manager John Farrell said. Thats something you do repetitively for 45 plus days and it showed up to be a pivotal play.Ortiz hadnt homered since tying Williams, Willie McCovey and Frank Thomas on June 17 against Seattle.dddddddddddd. Ortiz broke the tie with a line drive to right to put Boston up 3-0 in the fifth.Jackie Bradley Jr. followed with a single and scored on a double by Holt, who scored on a single by Vazquez to put Boston up 5-0.The rain started after Ortizs homer and was falling steadily by the top of the sixth, when Wrights shutout bid unraveled quickly. The knuckleballer struggled in the weather and the Angels loaded the bases with nobody out for Cron, who drove a 3-2 pitch over the Green Monster.Just looking for a pitch in the zone and I think I got it, Cron said. Its cool. Any first in this league is awesome.That was all for Wright, who allowed four runs on eight hits, walked three and struck out three.Jhoulys Chacin (2-5) allowed five runs on 12 hits in just 4 2/3 innings.NEXT UPNow alone at 19th on the all-time home run list, Ortiz trails No. 18 Jimmie Foxx (534) by a dozen and Mickey Mantle (536) for 17th. Ortiz, who is planning to retire at the end of the season, said he isnt looking at his statistics.One day I will, but right now I dont have time, he said.GOOD KIDBoston RF Beets had a much lighter outlook on Navas ground-rule double and the young fan who touched the ball.I think that ball was going to come back in play and obviously Trout is probably going to score on that ball, Betts said. Fortunately, he has pretty good hand eye coordination.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: LHP Andrew Heaney (torn ulnar collateral ligament) underwent Tommy John surgery in Los Angeles, likely sidelining him until the 2018 season.Red Sox: Holt was activated and start in left field, his first game since going on the concussion DL as of May 19. Holt had one of the defensive plays of the night in the fourth when he threw out Cron at second as he tried to stretch a line drive into a double.UP NEXTAngels: LHP Hector Santiago (4-4, 5.27) returns after getting tagged for six runs on seven hits and walks in a no-decision Sunday against Oakland.Red Sox: RHP Clay Buchholz (3-8, 5.90) is 0-2 in his return to the rotation after spending a few weeks in the bullpen.
