RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Luik triplets have already encountered some strange looks at the Olympics.The Estonian sisters, who will compete in the womens marathon, say they have gotten some funny faces from security guards who believe they have already waved one of them into the athletes village.On Sunday, Olympic spectators will face the challenge of trying to tell the 30-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed sisters apart from afar.Their coach, Harry Lemberg, had some advice for those who cant read the bibs.I think the first part of the race, Leila and Lily run together, Lemberg said. After 25-30 kilometers they follow together or see who is (to) go in front ... I think Liina (will be) a little bit behind.While the Olympics have seen twins competing together, triplets are a first, according to Olympic historian Bill Mallon, who keeps a database of athletes.According to Lily, it is Leila who is maybe the toughest of the trio.But Liina is the easiest to spot when her arms arent covered because she has a three-swan tattoo which, naturally, symbolizes the three of them.Its an amazing feeling, I think its better to run with sisters, Liina said. I feel good support, a mentally good vibe and good energy from my sisters also.I think I have two supporters in the race. We are supporting each other very much and I think we feel that kind of energy with each other.The Luiks, from the medieval city of Tartu, only turned pro at the relatively late age of 24.We saw that we cant now ... do the shorter distances, to do so much speed work, Leila said. We love to be (with) nature or do the long training and we love running. Because of (that) we decided to do marathon running.The dream would be finishing on the podium together in Rio de Janeiro but they know that is unlikely.We are happy, Leila said, if we finish together.

The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. Saint Marys College begins the most promising season in school history with a challenging opener, a Friday night (11 p.m. ET) home contest against Nevada, another team with high hopes.The Gaels are ranked in the Associated Press preseason poll for the first time, coming in at No. 17, and they are picked to finish second behind Gonzaga in the preseason West Coast Conference coaches poll.Its easy to see why expectations are high.The Gaels return all five starters from a squad that last season tied for the WCC regular-season title, beat Gonzaga twice and set a school record for wins while going 29-6.Despite all that, St. Marys failed to get an NCAA Tournament bid, something that seems well within reach this season.Dealing with such high expectations is something new for the tiny school located in rural Moraga, Calif., and its new for Randy Bennett, who is beginning his 16th season as the Gaels head coach. He is trying to avoid the big-picture possibilities and focus on the little things that got St. Marys to this intersection.Even as attention multiplies, the Gaels are going with their we first mantra.When asked to name his No. 1 goal, Bennett said, I think just be who we are, try to be better all the time. Were trying to stay focused as opposed to worrying about rankings.The Gaels must stay true to their reliance on patience, sound fundamentals and excellent three-point shooting. They are not going to overwhelm anyone with athleticism.That identity will be tested in the opener against an athletic Nevada squad that made remarkable progress last season in Eric Musselmans first year as the Wolf Packs head coach.Musselman, who had been the head coach of two NBA teams (Golden State and Sacramento), transformed a Nevada team that had won just nine games the year before he arrived into a 24-win team that won the College Basketball Invitational postseason tournament last season.dddddddddddd With four starters returning, the Wolf Pack were picked by the media to finish second in the Mountain West Conference this season, behind San Diego State.Nevada has one player who could present major problems for the Gaels -- sophomore forward Cameron Oliver, who was named to the Mountain Wests preseason all-conference team after averaging 13.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.61 blocks as a freshman.Obviously he had an unbelievable freshman season, said Musselman. Cam is a great, great shot-blocker. Hes an elite floor-runner. He proved last year he can knock the three down.Sometimes Cam doesnt know how good he can be in the post. We want to continue to throw the ball down to him in the post like we did in the CBI (when Oliver averaged 19.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.5 blocks in six games).Musselman is concerned about his teams defense, and that could be a problem against a St. Marys team that last season led the nation in field goal percentage (50.4) and was ninth in three-point percentage (40.6).Nearly every St. Marys starter can shoot from long range, and Stefan Gonzalez returns after hitting 52.6 percent of his threes (40 of 76) while coming off the bench a year ago.Three St. Marys players -- Emmett Naar, Dan Pineau and Joe Rahon -- were named to the WCCs 10-man preseason all-conference squad. Naar and Pineau are two of the seven Australian players on the Gaels roster, which is perennially filled with players from Down Under.
