Widnes end their losing streak, Warrington show their ruthlessness and Summer Bash feature in Set of Six. Ruthless WolvesWarrington showed no mercy as they took full advantage of a low-in-confidence Leeds to destroy them 52-18. It was a definite return to form from Warrington who bounced back from consecutive defeats by Wakefield and Castleford to return to the top of the table.Chris Sandow made a welcoming return and was superb and if the Wolves can keep on producing these performances consistently then they would be hard to bet against for an Old Trafford appearance.Back to winning ways Highlights of Widnes Vikings victory over Huddersfield Giants in the First Utility Super League Well done to Widnes who ended their eight-match losing streak with a very tough win against Huddersfield on Sunday.The Vikings trailed 16-0 until just before the break but then ran in five tries to the delight of their coach Denis Betts.We were the better team, even when we went 16-0 down, said Betts. We just couldnt get over the line but showed plenty of character, fight and desire and we needed a win, its a relief.We havent been playing badly but losing games. Now it will put some belief in our bellies.Bouncing back? Highlights of the Super League game between Salford and Wakefield Wakefield host Hull KR this Friday, live on Sky Sports, and it will be interesting to see how the Trinity Wildcats respond.After their tremendous run they came undone against a rampant Salford who sent Wakey crashing to only their second Super League defeat in nine matches.It will be intriguing to see how they react and if that loss to Salford would have done any damage to a side playing with such confidence and success.Summer BashThe Championship certainly entertained us down in Blackpool with some fantastic games. It was a weekend for fightbacks as Swinton fought back from 20-0 down to beat Oldham 25-24 as Matty Beharrell squeezed over a last-gasp drop-goal to seal the dramatic turnaround.Leigh also had to fight hard for their win as they extended their unbeaten run to 14 matches with a thrilling 24-20 victory after coming back from 10-0 down against Bradford.Is Cronk crocked? Cooper Cronk gestures during a Melbourne Storm NRL training session Cooper Cronk faces a race against the clock to be fit in time for the State of Origin opener on Wednesday.The Queensland captain has been icing his ankle round-the-clock since rolling it in training on Friday and will still be considered even if he misses the captains run.A vital cog in the Maroons side, Cronk has missed a game in each of the past two series through injury, with Queensland losing both of those matches, their only other loss in the last eight games came in 2014 when Cronk left the field with a broken arm in the opening minutes.However, it seems not everybody is convinced by the 32-year-olds injury, with New South Wales coach Laurie Daly accusing his opponents of playing mind games to earn the underdog status.Troubles for Wigan? Highlights of Castlefords First Utility Super League match against Wigan On the field, things are going great for the Warriors but it looks like there may be trouble brewing off the field.Wigan Warriors say a player could face disciplinary action following an incident on Friday night.Bosses are investigating reports of fighting outside a gym, which were said to have involved at least two Warriors players.Earlier in the day, several Wigan players posted pictures on social media from Haydock Races, but so far the club are yet to make an official comment on the rumours.The incident came just a day after Shaun Wanes men beat Castleford 33-26 to keep the pressure on at the top of the Super League table.

Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions. Jurrell Casey Jersey .C. United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft. Amani Hooker Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. RIO DE JANEIRO -- When Simone Manuel touched the wall to clinch a gold medal Saturday night, it was a moment 120 years in the making.The U.S. womens 4x100-meter medley relay team of Kathleen Baker, Lilly King, Dana Vollmer and Manuel -- winners at the Rio Games on Saturday night -- is being recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee as delivering the nations 1,000th gold medal in Summer Olympics history.By their count, anyway. Keeping count of the gold total is not as exact a science as one might think.The count accepted by the U.S. Olympic Committee coming into the Rio Games was 977 gold medals, and even that was adjusted a bit in recent weeks over a debated medal from the 1904 St. Louis Games. That means the gold medal in the womens eights on Saturday morning was the 21st for the Americans in Rio, and No. 998 overall. Some sites say theres a few more, some say a bit less. The USOC count is the accepted one.And the relay win was No. 23 in Rio, so by the USOCs count that made it official.A gold medal is like a newborn baby, said long jumper Jeff Henderson, who put the U.S. on the brink with gold No. 999 earlier Saturday night. Its just lovely.Lovely, 1,000 times over now for the Americans.A remarkable achievement made possible by the culture of sport that is the fabric and foundation of Team USA, USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said Saturday night.James Connolly won the first for the U.S. in 1896, and of course no one has added more to the total than Michael Phelps, a 23-time gold medalist. Illustrating how not-so-simple this medal-counting business is, the official info portal for the Rio Games even has a different number than the USOC, saying the one the Americans will recognize as No. 1,000 is really No. 1,001.Whatever the real number, the U.S. is the first to reach four figures -- in a landslide. The Soviet Union remains No. 2 on the all-time summer gold list, and no other nation has even reached 500.Heres the significance: The next four best nations had 1,004 gold medals coming into Rio, said Bill Mallon, an Olympic historian. You add up the next four and they barely have more than we do.At its current rate, China wouldnt reach 1,000 golds until 2100. Germany wouldnt get there until 2204.But there have been some very interesting story lines on the U.S. road to 1,000. Consider some of them:THE DEMONT CASEIf Rick DeMont had his way, gold medal No. 1,000 would really be identified as gold medal No. 1,001.Or maybe even No. 1,002.DeMont was 16 when he won gold in the 400-meter freestyle at the Munich Games in 1972. But he tested positive for ephedrine, which was part of his asthma medication, and stripped of the medal days later along with a chance to compete in a 1,500-meter event.His saga, however, doesnt stop there.DeMont tried for decades to get the medal back, saying he was wronged because the USOC did not properly disclose to Olympic officials that he was on medication -- and that if they had done so, his ephedrine level would not haave led to his ban.ddddddddddddIn 2001, the USOC recognized DeMont for his achievements and said it was bringing him back into the Olympic family.But the International Olympic Committee -- in part out of concern for setting a precedent that could lead to enormous numbers of athletes contesting results -- declined later that year to consider restoring DeMonts gold over the USOC paperwork mix-up. So the gold remains awarded to Bradford Cooper of Australia. Cooper now owns a swimming school in his homeland while DeMont is the swimming coach at Arizona.It was so long ago that it almost seems like it happened to another person in another life, DeMont said Saturday. I dont carry it with me.THE ST. LOUIS GAMESNo matter how well the U.S. does in these Rio Games, the medal count this year wont come close to the St. Louis Games in 1904.Officially, heres the count from that Olympics for the U.S.: 79 golds (it had been 78 until recently, when one medal that was counted as being won by a mixed-nationality team was added to the U.S. total because five of the six members were Americans, along with one Austrian), 78 silver and 79 bronze -- 236 medals in all.Germany was second in the medals standings, with 13.There is no wrong or right, Mallon said. Its an interpretation.The Olympic website describes those St. Louis Games as being lost in chaos. They lasted nearly five months, had a marathoner disqualified for using a car on the route, saw gymnast George Eyser win six medals despite having a wooden leg and featured events such as dumbbells and tug-of-war.About half the official competitions in those games had only American entrants, and some historians have suggested that even some of the athletes who are listed as part of the U.S. team likely were newly arrived immigrants who either hadnt become citizens yet or never actually completed that process.THE 1906 GAMESYou might not know about them, since they dont count.Held in Athens, Greece, they were considered an Olympics at the time -- though arent now recognized by the IOC, so the medal counts appear in no official lists. Though unlike the St. Louis Games two years earlier, this had more of a normal Olympic program.There were 78 events and medals were awarded; there even was a true opening ceremony. The U.S. was second to France in the medal standings, winning 12 golds to their 15.So while little debates and differing counts will likely continue, the U.S. dominance isnt in question. And maybe it was fitting that Phelps, the most decorated Olympian ever with 28 medals helped start the march toward the next milestone Saturday night, when the final swim of his career -- part of a win in a relay -- delivered gold No. 1,001.Its the Olympics, said U.S. swimmer Katie Ledecky, a five-time winner of Olympic gold. Its the pinnacle of our sport ... and we feed off of each other. Cheap Jerseys [url=http://www.cheapauthenticnfljerseys.net/]China NFL Jerseytart the march toward the next milestone Sarl] ' ' '
