EUGENE, Ore. -- The first thing Alysia Montano thought was, Get up. Get up.By the time she finally did, everyone else was gone.The 800-meter runner who has been victimized more than once by the unseemly side of her sport got the cruelest break of all at U.S. Track and Field Trials.Cheated out of medal after medal by Russians who were later found to have been doping -- including at the London Olympics four years ago -- Montano saw her chance at an Olympic victory come up painfully short when she tripped over a competitors feet while lining up her last charge in Monday nights final.It doesnt really settle in in that moment where youre thinking, `This is it, Montano said about the split second when she hooked shoes with Brenda Martinez, who was stumbling after making contact with the leader and eventual runner-up, Ajee Wilson. And then, you get up and theyre really far away. Your heart breaks.Montano did get up. She jogged a bit, then stopped, fell to her knees and began to wail as she kicked her foot to the ground in disgust. She got up again and ran to the finish line, then collapsed to her knees, put her head on the ground, looked skyward, clutched her right hand to her heart and let out a primal wail.All of a sudden, they came around the corner and she wasnt there, said her husband, Louis, who was watching from the side with their daughter, Linnea, who turns 2 next month. It was heartbreaking.Officials reviewed the tape and deemed the smashup a result of incidental contact. They did not disqualify anyone. Asked if she would protest, Montano replied: What good would that do me?If anyone would know, it would be her.The woman who showed her devotion to the sport by running on this track two years ago when she was eight months pregnant made herself the poster child for all athletes whove been robbed over the past several years by what investigators say is a state-sponsored Russian system that encourages doping among the countrys athletes.Montano finished either fourth or fifth at 2011 and 2013 world championships, and at the London Olympics, behind Russians who were later found to have cheated. She may get medals for those races someday.She will not get one this year, and the fact that the sports governing body, the IAAF, has called for the Russian track team to be banned from the Rio Games comes as small consolation for her.Eight years of my life as a professional runner, and my entire professional career has been a farce, basically, the 30-year-old said. Now, people are saying Russians arent running in the Olympics, but theyre missing the whole point. The IAAF is a corrupt institution and its still running the games.She tried to set all that anger aside coming into trials, knowing she would have no platform, no way to get her fair due, if she didnt perform over three days of racing in Eugene this week.She cruised into the final and, for 600 meters, everything looked fine. Boxed on the inside in years past, she did what shed been practicing all spring -- moving out to Lane 3 to stay out of trouble and make her final push. She was vying for third place when the contact started.I saw tripping. Brenda start to trip and Alysia start to fall, said Kate Grace, who picked an inside route and coasted past the trouble for the victory.And Montano saw some dreams slip away.Theres a lot of healing, she said, that has to happen beyond this race.Other happenings at Day 4 of Olympic Trials:WANT FRIES WITH THAT?: Less than two years ago, Boris Berian was flipping burgers at a fast-food restaurant. In less than two months, hell be running at the Olympics. Berian finished second in the 800-meter final behind Clayton Murphy to secure his spot in Rio. Its been a long journey for the 23-year-old from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Last month, he didnt even know if hed compete here because of a lawsuit filed by his former sponsor, Nike, over what kind of gear he wears. Nike dropped the lawsuit and Berian made it.LUCKY 11th: They dont give any medals for 11th place. Javelin thrower Sean Furey didnt care. In his case, 11th was good enough to make the Olympics. Because Furey was one of only three throwers in the final who had reached the Olympic qualifying standard, he earned a spot on the team. So did fourth-place finisher Sam Crouser and, yes, the winner, Cyrus Hostetler.BROKEN DREAMS: Pole vaulter Joey Uhles chances for an Olympic spot all but ended when his pole broke on his first attempt. The pole smacked him on the kneecap and, though he lined up to jump again, he wasnt quite the same. It messes with your mind a bit, throws you off your balance, he said.RUPP ROMP: Galen Rupp, Bernard Lagat and Lopez Lomong all made it through qualifying at 5,000 meters. If Rupp qualifies at 5K, hell have to decide between that distance and the marathon. Hes already qualified for the 10K and plans on competing in that event.QUOTABLE: Its an unfortunate circumstance, and now I have to try to find some solace. -- Montano. Rock Ya-Sin Youth Jersey .

Devin Funchess Colts Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.officialindianapoliscoltspro.com/Devin-funchess-colts-jersey/ .

Rio de Janeiro - Deepa Malik, the first Indian woman to clinch a Paralympic medal says her F-53 shot put silver is a result of being daring enough to dream.Deepas best throw of 4.61m from her six attempts which was her personal best, was enough to clinch the silver medal behind Fatema Nedham of Bahrain, who threw 4.76m.I dared to dream and I have determination to work hard and the passion and perseverance to follow that dream. Women often lose that and I have ensured that my family is not neglected, my children are doing well too, Deepa said.A paraplegic, paralysed from waist down, Deepa is married to an Army man and is a mother of two. The 45-year-old, the oldest member of Indias contingent, was consigned to the wheelchair 17 years ago after being operated for a spinal tumour.She underwent 31 surgeries, which was healed after 183 stitches between her waist and legs.I am very happy to win this medal and I am so glad that I could do this for my country. I really want to thank my coaches and my trainers, Sports Authority of India, and the Sports Ministry for funding my training so beautifully.I also want to thank my husband for being my skill trainer and my daughters for being my strength and motivation.I am so eager to come back to India, she said.Deepa had won national and international medals in swimming, before switching to athletics in 2009.I was the first biker, first swimmer, first rallyist (rally driver) and I am going to be the first Paralympian medalist. This is huge. I give it to my daughters. I give it to my husband, my trainer, my country. I am so excited, she said.Deepa would have taken the gold, if not for a mighty third throw of 4.76m from Bahrains Fatema. In 2009 Deepa bbecame the first person with paraplegia to ride in one of the worlds highest and most difficult motor rallies in the Himalayas.dddddddddddd.Deepas success comes after two Indian men high jumpers Mariyappan Thangavelu and Bhati Varun Singh won gold and bronze respectively at the Olympic Stadium on Friday. Deepa hoped that her achievements would inspire others to beat adversity.This is very significant. I hope my journey and the medal can serve as an inspiration for differently-abled individuals to break out from their social boundaries and pursue their dreams, she said.I remember when I first had the tumour all those years back, people thought I would be restricted to my house throughout my life with servants looking after my daily needs, she added.Deepa said she always wanted to be independent despite her disability....I wanted to break out from that mould and took to swimming, motorsports and eventually javelin and shot put. My goal was to become independent despite my disability and today due to sport and the support of my family, I very much am an independent individual, she said.Although Deepas Paralympic performance will always be the pinnacle of her sporting career, shes no stranger to winning awards and accolades for her country.In 2012 she was the oldest recipient to be honoured with the Arjuna Award at the age of 42. She also clinched a Para Asian Games medal in 2014 in Incheon.In the run up to the games at Rio, she also won a gold medal in javelin throw at the IPC Oceania Asian Championships in Doha and a silver medal in Shotput at the same event.
