RIO DE JANEIRO -- Usain Bolt glanced to his right once, twice, three times. No surprise: Nobody was there.Thats how the quest began for his final individual sprint gold at the Olympics -- a jog through the sunshine in the opening round of the 200 meters and a stress-free victory in the ninth heat of Tuesdays qualifying.He finished in 20.28 seconds, a time that means nothing. More importantly, he coasted into the finish line after triple-checking on Nigerias Ejowvokoghene Oduduru simply to make sure nothing crazy was happening.I know how to run the 200, Bolt said. Its all about just reminding myself. Tomorrow, Ill show up with much better progress. I have to run fast, and so Im looking forward to that.Everyone is.If Wednesdays semifinals go as expected, hell be lining up for gold medal No. 8 on Thursday night, where the biggest drama may not be whether he wins, but whether he cracks the once-thought-untouchable 19-second barrier. He already owns both the world record at 19.19, and Olympic record at 19.30.Among those who will challenge him include American Justin Gatlin and Canadian Andre De Grasse, who finished 2/3 to Bolt in the 100, along with LaShawn Merritt of the U.S. They all won their heats on a muggy, sun-splashed day in a stadium with huge swaths of empty blue seats.Most fans who did show were crowded along the opening curve, and they made plenty of noise when Bolt came onto the track. He flashed a big smile into the TV cameras and windmilled his arms, then raised them overhead to clap a couple of times. At one point, he looked toward the scoreboard, covered his eyes and squinted into the bright sunshine.Im not an early-morning person, said Bolt, whose race began at 12:45 p.m. local time.The fans went silent before the start. No, there would be no fireworks in an opening heat with no medal at stake and nobody lining up who could even give him a race. Only one other sprinter in his heat, Norways Jaysuma Saidy Ndure, had ever broken 20 seconds and he finished tied for last.Still, this was Bolt -- as big a star as there is at these Olympics -- so the silence made sense.He lumbered out of the blocks. His .177 reaction time was the slowest of the eight runners. That has turned every 100-meter sprint hes run into a come-from-behind affair, where his pure speed takes the day.He considers the 100 his hobby, and the 200 his real job. And as he starts working his way through the curve, its easy to see that his long-legged, 6-foot-5 frame was built for the longer race.In this case, it was over before Bolt even got to the straightaway. All those looks to his right werent so much taunting -- no sign of that smile seen around the world in his 100-meter semifinal -- but more a way of ensuring he doesnt waste a lick of energy.I came out here to qualify, Bolt said, and thats what I did.When it was over, Bolt walked over and hugged his closest pursuer, Oduduru, who finished only .06 seconds behind.By the time the 10th and final heat ended, Bolt had only recorded the 15th-fastest time of 77 sprinters who lined up. No matter. The Worlds Fastest Man is moving on, another gold and -- who knows? -- maybe another record in his sights. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Jalen-Collins-Jersey/ .

With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota.Kenyas participation at this years Olympic Games remains in doubt, despite its parliament passing a law last month to make doping a criminal offence. Although Kenya passed the act of parliament in April, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Thursday that the country needed to make changes to ensure compliance with the code, which sets a framework for consistent rules and policies around the world. WADAs ruling means Kenya, for decades a leading power in middle and long distance running, could be in danger of missing out in Rio where the Games are being staged from August 5-21.Kenyas Sports Minister Hassan Wario said WADA had written to him pointing out the areas of the act which they want to be rewritten or rectified for us to regain full compliance as soon ass possible.ddddddddddddAs soon as parliament reviews those highlighted bits of the legislation, we are fully compliant. No ban was mentioned in the body of the letter.WADA had given Kenya until May to enact the anti-doping law or be declared non-compliant. The president signed the new legislation into law on April 22.However, WADA president Craig Reedie said on Thursday that the act was not in line with the organisations requirements.He said: We have been working with Kenya for a number of years and thought we had agreed that the draft legislation and rules were entirely compliant.It would appear that during their parliamentary process changes were made that unfortunately werent code-compliant, so we will be in touch with Kenya to try and resolve that at the earliest possible moment.
