With friends like Brisbane, North Queensland sure dont need enemies.The Broncos insist respect - not revenge - will be the motivating factor in Friday nights NRL grand final re-match in Townsville.But Brisbane fullback Darius Boyd on Monday wasted little time messing with the Cowboys minds, saying all the pressure was on North Queensland in their sudden death semi-final.This week we are the underdogs and the Cowboys have everything to lose playing in their hometown, Boyd said.They are playing at home in front of all their fans and we dont want our season to end.On paper Brisbane dont look like underdogs.They are on a six-game winning run.Defending champions North Queensland have lost four of their last seven.Still, Boyd insisted the Cowboys would be the ones feeling the heat on Friday night - a sensation he admitted Brisbane were all too familiar with.Boyd said Brisbane had been expected to brush everyone aside in the fortnight since their shock round 25 win in Melbourne.Instead they faltered.The Broncos still somehow hung on to clinch wins in those two weeks against the Sydney Roosters and the Gold Coast in last weeks qualifying final.Its hard when you are expected to win games, Boyd said.Against Melbourne we were up for it and did a good job.But against the Roosters and Titans we were expected to win and it was tough.The last three Queensland derbies have been decided by one point - including the Cowboys famous 17-16 premiership-deciding triumph last year.And another classic looms on Friday night, according to Boyd.The Brisbane custodian insisted friendships forged in State of Origin were the reason why no derby was dull.It will be a case of mate against mate when a Brisbane side boasting six Queensland State of Origin stars line up against four Maroons teammates in Cowboys colours in the sudden-death semi-final.It brings the best out of you. When you play your mates you want to get one up on them, Boyd said of the close derbies.Its the respect between the two teams.Asked if ending the Cowboys title defence would provide a measure of revenge after last years grand final heartache, Boyd said: I dont know about revenge but it would be nice.Any time you beat a quality side at their home ground its great to get one up on them.Weve had some classic clashes the last 12 months with the Cowboys and I expect this to be no different.

The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period. Indias track and field campaign got off to a rather jaded start with all athletes, barring Manish Singh Rawat and Dutee Chand, putting up dispirited performances. Rawat finished a creditable 13th in the mens 20km walk with a timing of 1: 21.21, ahead of Olympic record holder Ding Chen, while Dutee put in a brave effort to finish seventh in her heat and 50th overall in the womens 100m qualifying event.Dutee clocked 11.69s to finish her heat, becoming the first Indian woman to represent the country in the event at the Olympics in 36 years. However, her timing wasnt enough to make her reach the next round.Jamaicas Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who previously won two consecutive 100m golds at the Olympics in 2008 and 2012, stood first clocking 10.96s.?Rawat, the 25-year-old from Uttarakhand,?was doing well initially, sitting at 10th spot after the 6-km mark. He dropped to 18th after the 8-km mark but recovered to be at seventh after the halfway 10km mark with a timing of 40:22.?But, after the 12km mark, he was at 18th again; he eventually finished the race at 13th.

Gowda, who holds the national record of 66.28m, had come into the Olympics without participating at any competitions this year due to a shoulder injury.Gowda had last taken part in an event in September last year. Gowda, the reigning Asian champion, began with a 57.59m throw and improved by more than a metre for a 58.99m second throw before producing a 58.70m in his third and final attempt.My performance was not very good today. Its frustrating. Ive just had a lot of bad luck this year and a lot of injuries.dddddddddddd I was not able to train until three or four weeks ago. Obviously, that was not enough time to prepare, Gowda said, I tore both quad-tendons of my knees. I had to take a break from training so did not get enough time.Female shot-putter Manpreet Kaur, who holds the national record of 17.96m, finished 23rd among 35 competitors with a best throw of 17.06m. She finished 13th in the Group B qualifying round.

World record holder David Rudisha of Kenya won the heat in 1:45.09secs.During the race, Johnson was hit on his legs by a fellow runner at the first bend and he struggled for a while before recovering and finished 25th out of 50 competitors. Johnson, the 25-year-old from Kerala, had clocked 1:45.98, the second fastest by an Indian after the legendary Sriram Singh, during the Indian Grand Prix in Bangalore last month.In the first round of the mens 400m event, Md Anas clocked 45.95s to finish sixth in his heat and 31st overall, failing to qualify for the semifinal. The top 3 performers in each heat, followed by the next three best performers advanced to the next round. The defending Olympic champion, Grenadas?Kirani James finished first, clocking 44.93s.In the long jump qualifiers, Ankit Sharma started off with two fouls. There is a foul line in the run-up area. If an athlete jumps anywhere beyond that specific line, he/she gets a foul. He followed it up by a score of 7.67 in his third and final attempt to finish 24th overall.As the top-12 athletes qualified for the final round, Sharma failed to make it through.
