After her electrifying performance at U.S. Gymnastics Trials in San Jose three weeks ago, it seemed as if 16-year-old Laurie Hernandez was poised for an opportunity to compete in the individual all-around in Rio.Upon learning Hernandez made the Olympic team, her coach, Maggie Haney, admitted the all-around was, in fact, their ultimate goal. That would be the best thing ever, Haney said in July.But during podium training Thursday night at Rios Olympic Arena, it became clear Hernandez will likely not be given the opportunity to compete for one of two U.S. spots in the individual all-around.I wouldnt say Im disappointed, Hernandez said after training. This is what the team needs. If the team needs someone that is strong and consistent and can help the team in bars, I say thats what we do. Martha is very smart and knows the right decision.Haney was slightly less diplomatic.Im disappointed at the possibility of her not competing in the all-around, Haney said. I have to respect the decision, but its hard when I look back and realize she was second both days at Trials and had the second-highest all-around score to Simone coming in. I dont know what to say. Ive cried a lot this week.During Sundays qualification round, each country will compete with four athletes on each apparatus, with the top three scores counting toward the teams score on that apparatus. In order to qualify for the all-around, a gymnast must compete in all four rotations and 24 women will make the all-around, with each country being limited to two gymnasts.During podium training, teams typically practice in the order in which they will compete during qualification, so the fifth athlete to perform on each apparatus is likely the athlete who will sit out of that rotation during qualification.When the U.S. team performed their bars routines Thursday night, Hernandez went last. And those paying attention realized the implications immediately. Three-time defending world champion Simone Biles is a shoo-in to make the all-around. Hernandez arguably would have been.But by sitting Hernandez out on bars instead of Aly Raisman or defending Olympic all-around gold medalist Gabby Douglas -- Madison Kocian was essentially brought to Rio for her bar routine -- Martha?Karolyi is allowing her two veteran Olympians to battle it out Sunday for the second U.S. all-around spot.The way the puzzle fit together, certain people have to fit in certain spots, Haney said. Martha knows what shes doing.Despite acknowledgement from Haney, Hernandez and Douglas that the decision appeared to be a done deal, Karolyi said the final lineup will not be turned in until Saturday, 24 hours before competition.We didnt decide 100 percent yet, Karolyi said. We will have the meeting tonight. We will analyze everything. But we have our tentative lineup. Air Max 90 Uomo Scontate .

Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. PHOENIX -- The Colorado Rockies already slim postseason hopes are fading fast.The Rockies lost 11-4 to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night and have allowed 23 runs in two straight defeats to lowly Arizona.The reason why is simple, says manager Walt Weiss.Weve just got to pitch better, Weiss said.Starter Jorge De La Rosa and reliever Eddie Butler did not pitch well, and the Diamondbacks took advantage. Jean Segura homered twice and Brandon Drury added his second homer in two nights.Segura hit solo shots off De La Rosa (8-8) in the first and fourth innings, setting a career high with his 13th and 14th homers. Drury homered in the fifth to give the Diamondbacks a 7-4 lead, and Paul Goldschmidt had three hits, scored three runs and stole his 25th base in support of winning pitcher Robbie Ray (8-13).The loss dropped Colorado to 7 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second NL wild card. But on Tuesday, things looked promising for a win early.The Rockies jumped on Ray quickly for three runs. Charlie Blackmon led off the game with a walk and scored on DJ LeMahieus double. Then Nolan Arenado hit a blooper just inside the right-field line that turned into a triple, and Arenado scored on a groundout by Carlos Gonzalez.The Diamondbacks answered in their half of the first against De La Rosa. Segura led off with a homer and Arizona sent all nine batters to the plate in scoring four runs. The first inning lasted 39 minutes.Ray pitched five innings and allowed four runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and a walk. He surpassed the 200-strikeout mark for the season.The first inning was like getting punched in the nose there, and we battled after that, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. It didnt seem like there weree any easy innings for (Ray).dddddddddddd. ... I thought the offense coming in scoring four gave him a lot of life. Gave him time to sit, kind of get it back together.Segura homered and Yasmany Tomas singled in a run in the fourth, giving the Diamondbacks a 6-3 lead. De La Rosa lasted only 3 1/3 innings and gave up five earned runs and eight hits with four walks.Blackmon hit his 25th home run to open the fifth, a solo shot. But Arizona scored five runs in the bottom of the inning to take control.I wasnt locating my fastball to my glove side. So it put me behind on counts when I was throwing that way early and because theyre in hitters counts, they get a little better piece than they probably should have on some of the pitches, Butler said. A jam shot, a couple of ground balls, all of which were possible outs but just didnt fall my way.Tomas added three hits and two RBI for the Diamondbacks, who have won two straight after losing six in a row.STREAKS ALIVELeMahieu reached base in his 30th straight game. ... The Diamondbacks, with 17 hits Tuesday, are the first team since the 1930 Brooklyn Robins to record 10-plus hits in 13 or more consecutive games against a single opponent in a single season. The Robins streak was 17 games against Philadelphia.UP NEXTRockies: RHP Jeff Hoffman (0-3) faces the Diamondbacks on Wednesday for the first time in his career.Diamondbacks: RHP Rubby De La Rosa (4-5) is set to make his ninth career appearance against the Rockies on Wednesday.
