The men’s 4x100m relay was tight between Jamaica, Japan and the U.S. heading into the anchor leg. Then Bolt took the baton. He blew past the field and secured his ninth Olympic gold medal and completed triple-triple he’s been talking about (three consecutive gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay). The U.S. men were disqualified after an exchange outside of the box. MORE: Best images from Day 14 | Full medal count...

The company had already stated no new Assassin’s Creed games were coming in 2016, but it seems it’s more than a mere break. Ubisoft is instead taking time to improve the series, to make it fresh again. While no specific changes were mentioned, Guillemot seems confident that time was the most important catalyst for those changes. How much time that requires, however, is a mystery even to Ubisoft. When asked if the next Assassin’s Creed might be ready in 2017, Guillemot responded by saying, “It will be back when it’s ready....

It is that normally understated demeanor that made Reyna’s words even more eye opening as he sounded off on what he sees as a systemic problem in American soccer. With the stunning disappointment of the U.S. men’s national team failing to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986 having occurred just a week earlier, Reyna didn’t mince any words. “Our approach and our behavior to the sport here — to coaching, to everything, is just wrong,” Reyna told Goal on Tuesday....
The causal relationship between cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis is complex and appears to be related to several factors, including traditional cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, obesity, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol) as well as the severity of the RA. Cardiovascular Risk and Rheumatoid Arthritis For many years, researchers have been studying the association and whether enough attention is paid to cardiovascular risk factors in people with inflammatory types of arthritis. Research now points to rheumatoid arthritis itself being an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease....
Rhomboid Muscle Anatomy The rhomboids are upper-back muscles that connect between your spine and each of your two shoulder blades (scapulae). When they contract, they pull your shoulder blades together. The muscle fibers comprising the rhomboids run on a diagonal. The function of the rhomboid muscles is mainly to affix the scapula against the torso to allow a stable base from which the arm can move. Clinicians look at muscles in terms of their origin, insertion, nerve, and action....
Reus: I’m completely different after injury The 33-year-old agreed fresh terms last month, tying him to the German champions until the end of 2018. And Ribery has no intention of playing for any other team in Europe, suggesting he could even renew beyond the expiry of that deal if the next 18 months go well. “In Europe, Bayern is my last club - 100 per cent,” Ribery said to Eurosport....
Klopp: My Liverpool future’s on the line Ribery has not played since the 2-1 win at Werder Bremen on January 28 as a result of a muscle strain, although he was on the bench for last Saturday’s 8-0 thrashing of Hamburg. Bayern face a hectic first week in March, with Wednesday’s DFB-Pokal quarter-final followed by a Bundesliga trip to Cologne and the Champions League last-16 second leg with Arsenal in the space of seven days....
Bayern put on a spirited display at Real Madrid on Tuesday but were ultimately denied a place in the final, drawing 2-2 to lose the tie 4-3 on aggregate. Ribery played the full 90 minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu, where he was left disappointed in his bid for a second European crown. The Bavarians wrapped up the Bundesliga title at a canter and could complete a domestic double when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt – the team managed by incoming Bayern boss Niko Kovac – in the DFB-Pokal final on May 19....
The actor told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that coronavirus “wants to beat you,” in a sobering recount of his experience where he was required to go on oxygen to help his breathing. “It gets into your system and it feels like wherever you think you can get a breath in, it’s going to go there—and that’s where the cough is going to go,” he said. “It wants to stop you from breathing....
Guys like Richard Sherman, though — they're not on the list. The Seattle Seahawks cornerback, as you've seen in a billion places, freaked everyone out on Sunday night when, literally minutes after the biggest play of his life, he spent a hilarious, honest, harmless, unhinged few seconds with Erin Andrews. Pearls were clutched. Code words were used. Racism, as always, was publicly displayed. There are plenty of places you can go to find small and big-picture context for Sherman vs....

Both Kavanaugh and Thomas were accused of sexual assault around the time that they were nominated to the Supreme Court and those allegations became a focal point in both of their confirmation hearings. Neither controversy, though, blocked Kavanaugh nor Thomas’ dreams of serving on the court as both justices went on to be confirmed by the Senate. Scott’s defense of Walker comes after a bombshell report from the Daily Beast revealed that the Senate candidate from Georgia had paid for a former girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009, despite his vocal anti-abortion stance....

Ponting slammed CA for forcing Langer to resign despite the former Australia opener wanting to continue. Under Langer, Australia won their maiden T20 World Cup last year and won the 2021-22 Ashes 4-0 last month. “It’s been a really poor six months” - Ricky Ponting Speaking to ABC Radio about Langer’s resignation, Ponting said: Ponting was expecting skipper Pat Cummins to openly back Langer during this tumultuous period but expressed his understanding of the skipper’s situation at this juncture....
The Timberwolves have three point guards on their team. Ricky Rubio, the starter, is not a scorer. Nor is recent acquisition Andre Miller, the 39-year-old veteran who will likely see the majority of the backup minutes at the point. Tyus Jones, a late first-round pick this summer, has scoring ability but is about as balanced on the shoot-pass scale as you can get — and probably not ready to contribute yet....

To put these sales into context, this was Avenger’s first week after a long, hype-filled ad campaign that seemed promising. And selling nearly 43,000 units certainly isn’t something to sniff at.
