Tejaswin Shankar added to his senior record-surpassing effort in the high jump at the 32nd Junior Nationals by also winning the gold medal in the triple jump event at the Nehru stadium in Coimbatore. But in a goof-up that neither the AFI (Athletics Federation of India) nor the Tamil Nadu State Athletics Association were willing to claim responsibility for, no gold medal was available for Shankar. The organisers of the junior nationals had run out of medals for the competition.In all there was a shortfall of 29 gold medals, 27 silver and as many bronze medals.AFI secretary general CK Valson said that while the medals had been procured from Delhi, he had only been made aware of the shortage in the last day of the event. There are 125 events in the junior nationals so sometime it becomes difficult to keep track of the number of medals. But if there were fewer number of medals that had been procured, we should have been told in advance. We could have brought more medals from Delhi, he says.Latha, the treasurer of the Tamil Nadu athletics federation - the event organisers - said that it was the AFIs job to get the medals from Delhi and the organisers role was to give what medals were available to the athletes.In an effort to address the situation, Valson said that the AFI would post the medals to the respective state associations which would subsequently disburse the medals.While long jumpers often participate in the triple jump event, a high jumper taking part in the triple is unusual. Shankar was taking part in the triple jump event for only the second time in his career. The 17-year-old won gold in the Delhi state championships held a couple of months earlier, which was just a few weeks since he took up the triple jump event.He cleared 15.21m, to better Tamil Nadus K Kamalraj who jumped 14.91. Shankar, though, was unable to get either the meet or national U-18 record which stand at 15.63 and 15.52 respectively.Shankars form had the refinement that can be expected of someone with just a couple of months of practice in an event known for its technical challenge. Former Long jumper Anju Bobby George who was present at the venue would say Shankar had a strong step and jump phase but was very weak in the initially hop jump and in his landing. Despite those limitations, Shankar was still far ahead of the field.While his flaws were noticeable, its not something Shankar is bothered by. I only take part in the triple jump because the drills are something that help me in the high jump as well. I was expecting to win a gold but I wasnt thinking of getting a record. The triple jump is just a fun event for me, he says.He, however, missed out on the best athlete award in the U-18 boys category. Considering that he had broken the senior national record, Shankar might have been expected to claim the award. Instead it went to Haryanas Dipender Dabas who won the U-18 shot put event with a meet record.It was a quirk of the system that decided it. The recipient of the award is calculated according to an IAAF points system. By jumping 2.26m, Shankar earned 1144 points as per the system. Dabas who threw the shot 20.65m, took 1159 points. However, unlike Shankar who was competing in essentially an open competition, Dabas was using a lighter shot put (weighing 5kg as against the senior shot that weighs 6kg). As such, Dabas had a distinct advantage when points were being calculated.Indeed, the best athletes in all the boys categories (U-20, U-18, U-16 and U-14) went to shot putters. Yes it seems like they have an advantage because of the implements they are using, but there is no way to calculate the points for a junior event where the equipment is lighter, Dr. Tony Daniel, Technical Committee chairman of the federation, said.?As it stands, Shankar will head home to Delhi with a medal and a national record. He will have to collect the second gold medal from the AFI office.? Authentic Andre Dawson Jersey .

Today, we look back at Boston Strong - a citys recovery from tragedy. Middleweight Gegard Mousasi (40-6-2) stunned Vitor Belfort (25-13) with a right-head kick in the second round, which eventually led to a TKO finish at 2:43 due to strikes on the ground. Mousasi ate two hard left hands in the opening minutes but emerged relatively unscathed otherwise. He immediately claimed the center of the Octagon and calmly stalked Belfort around the perimeter.Belfort, 39, defended Mousasis early attempt at a takedown and occasionally flashed the hand speed that has helped make him famous, but his activity was very low. According to Fightmetric, he landed just nine total strikes, compared to 65 for Mousasi.The Brazilian did not go down immediately from the right-head kick but was clearly stunned. Mousasi unloaded a flurry of punches near the fence before wrestling him to the floor and dropping elbows. Belforts face was badly bloodied by the time referee Marc Goddard stepped in.Hes a legend, said Mousasi, who improves to 7-3 in the UFC. Fighting him is an honor. I like Vitor a lot. Hes a nice guy, besides being a great athlete.When asked whom hed like to fight next, Mousasi said someone ranked in the top four of the division or former champion Anderson Silva.Manuwa demolishes Saint Preux in Round 2Light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa (16-2) knocked Ovince Saint Preux (19-9) out cold with a left hook at 2:38 of the second round.

He threatened to take Manuwas back on several occasions in the first five minutes, although he did have to fight out of a late guillotine attempt.Manuwa, 36, seized momentum early in the ssecond round.ddddddddddddHe began targeting St. Preux to the body and trapped him along the fence.

Its a huge bounce-back win for the England-based Manuwa, who suffered a knockout loss to Anthony Johnson in September 2015.Struve scores 17th submission of careerHeavyweight Stefan Struve (28-8) has won consecutive fights for the first time since 2012, as he submitted Daniel Omielanczuk (19-6-1) via DArce choke at 1:41 of the second round. Struves advantage on the ground was clear throughout. He took Omielanczuks back in the first round and secured a body triangle but ran out of time looking for a finish.The tap came quickly in the second round, good for the 17th submission win of Struves 11-year professional career. It is the first time Omielanczuk has been finished.Bektic submits late replacement DoaneFeatherweight prospect Mirsad Bektic (11-0) submitted late replacement Russell Doane (14-7) via rear-naked choke at 4:22 of the opening round. It was the 25-year-olds first appearance since May 2015 due to a torn ACL.Fighting out of American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, Bektic looked sharp in opening exchanges before turning to his terrific offensive wrestling. He took Doane down and eventually took his back as he tried to stand up and break away near the cage. It is the third submission win of Bektics career and his fifth career first-round finish.Doane, 30, has now lost four fights in a row. He is now 2-4 in the UFC.
