RIO DE JANEIRO -- University of Oregon multisport star Devon Allen finished fifth in the mens 110-meter hurdles final Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro in the first time the Americans have been shut out of a medal in the event.Omar McLeod, the world indoor champion, converted his season dominance of the 110m hurdles into an Olympic gold medal, a first for Jamaica in the event.Add the hurdles to the growing list of things the tiny Caribbean Island is dominating. McLeod said he fed off the medal-winning performances of Usain Bolt in the mens 100 and Elaine Thompson (gold) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (bronze) in the womens 100.You see them go out and represent themselves and represent their country, have fun -- and they win. They harness medals, McLeod said. You want to do the same thing. Its contagious. You want to feel how it feels. I felt how it feels.Could McLeod turn into the Bolt of the hurdles?Well see, he said. The feeling is indescribable. I dont know whats going through my mind right now. I need to go back and just recite it a couple times, saying, Youre an Olympic champion.McLeod, who was a track standout at the University of Arkansas before turning pro, gained the lead quickly and pulled away as he won in 13.05 seconds.?Cuban-born Orlando Ortega of Spain took silver in 13.17 seconds, and Dimitri Bascou of France won bronze in 13.24. Ortega gave Spain its first medal in track and field since 2004.I was just thinking, Come on. Go. Go finish, Ortega said. I see the [big screen] TV and see my second place. I cant believe this moment.Allen said he didnt run the technical race hed hoped for but was proud of a top-five finish.?For it being my first international competition, as well as my first Olympics, I think I did well, he said. In hurdles, there are barriers, and theyre in the way, and its about maneuvering and managing those barriers, and my body position wasnt as great as I would have wanted it to be, and thats why I wasnt as fast.The Ducks wide receiver said he plans to wind down and enjoy the last few days in Rio with his family before?he joins his?Oregon?football teammates on the practice field.Ill probably be the best-shaped athlete on the field right now, Allen said with a laugh.Allen had nine catches for 94 yards last season for the Ducks as he eased back into action after tearing a ligament in his right knee during the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015. He said it wont take him long to get up to speed on the football field, and hes already at his playing weight of 185 pounds (84 kilograms). Still, rest might be a good thing.Jumping back in, it could work, Allen said. But maybe resting will make for a better athlete in the long run. Eventually, Ill get back in there.During the U.S. Olympic track trials, Allens high school track coach, Tim ONeil, said the 21-year-old has the potential to break the world record of 12.80 seconds.?Asked about ONeils claim following his fifth-place finish Tuesday, Allen said the record is still in sight.?I think thats something I am going to be doing in the next couple years, he said. This is my fifth year hurdling, and you see a lot of guys -- it takes technique to hurdle, and that takes time. The world record gets broken at later ages.Aries Merritt was 27, and Liu Xiang was a little older. It takes time, and I got nothing but time.There were quite a few tumbles and falls in the hurdles Tuesday. Haitis Jeffrey Julmis smacked into the first hurdle in his semifinal heat, tumbled over it and took the hurdle right along with him. Then he got back up and finished to a roar from the crowd.It didnt make sense to go down as a sore loser, Julmis said. The Olympic spirit -- finish the race.Information from ESPNs?Alyssa Roenigk?and The Associated Press was used in this report.? Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic . By having more great seasons.

England have endured a tumultuous year, losing to Iceland at Euro 2016 and then seeing newly-installed manager Sam Allardyce depart after just one game at the helm.But there have been signs of promise under interim boss Gareth Southgate and the Three Lions powered into a 2-0 lead against Spain, before they were pegged back late on.

New QPR manager Ian Holloway doesnt hold back when hes asked about the England managers job Win, lose or draw Ill be happy, as long as we stick to a way of playing and believe in it 100 per cent.Gareth is the same way, I dont think anything should change for him. Its important that people dont change and stick to their beliefs.I think thats what weve been doing over these fourr games now and you could see it [against Spain] better than in the other three.ddddddddddddWe had a way, we stuck to it, and we got our rewards up until the end.I think at times you can be half-hearted. You play out [from the back] and then you lose the ball playing out so you want to go long. You go long and its why didnt you play out?.

I think weve been getting better at that.Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton came on for the second half against Spain to win his second cap and, while disappointed to concede late goals, he agrees with Dier that there were positives to take.It was obviously a sickener and theres no getting away from that, he said. Football can do that to you at times and its tough to takeBut, once the dust settles and we look back on it, I think therell be a lot of good stuff to take out.We shouldnt get away from the positives, having played some good stuff and contained things really well.Theres things to work on and look at but were pleased with aspects of the performances.Personally I enjoyed it out there, I felt great. Obviously it was a little bit more than the six minutes last time [on his debut].
