OMAHA, Neb.--?Michael Phelps?said he wanted his last competitive race on U.S. soil to be a victory.He did just that, and in dramatic fashion, on Saturday by rallying over the final lap to win the 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials and qualify in the event for next months Rio de Janeiro Games.The 31-year-old Phelps, swimming in Lane 7 and against opponents with an average age of 23, will now get a chance to win his fourth straight gold in the 100 fly at Rio.Sitting in fourth heading into the final turn, Phelps pulled ahead in the final meters, touching the wall in 51.00. Tom Shields also qualified in the event, finishing second in 51.20.When Phelps saw the 1 beside his name, he pounded the water and pointed toward his family -- including 7-week-old son, Boomer -- up in the stands.Overall, he made it three-for-three in Olympic qualifying at the trials.Missy Franklin will get the chance to defend her 200-meter backstroke gold medal in Rio after finishing second on Saturday in the event final at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.Joining Franklin is Maya Dirado, who won the final (2:06.90) after gaining a comfortable lead midway through the race.Franklin, who finished in 2:07.89, won gold and set the world record in the event four years ago in London. As a high schooler during those games, she took part in seven events, winning four golds and a bronze. She finished fifth in the 100 free in 2012 but wont be part of that race at all this time around.At age 21, Franklin hasnt been able to recapture the magic that carried her to such heights in London. Outside of a gutsy runner-up finish in the 200 freestyle, she finished seventh in the 100 backstroke -- a race she won in 2012 -- and that knocks her out of consideration for the 4x100 medley relay.One of the things Ive been trying to do this whole year is not compare myself to where I was in 2012, Franklin said. I think coming in a lot of people thought that ... I would have to do the same thing I did in 2012, and thats not what I came here intending to do. I came in here to be the best of who I am right now, not who I was four years ago. So to get two individual spots and a relay spot, Im so happy with that.Katie Ledecky also added to her Rio itinerary by qualifying for the 800-meter freestyle.For 32-year-old Cullen Jones, a quarter-of-a-second brought potentially the end of a career.Jones finished third behind Nathan Adrian and Anthony Ervin in the 50-meter freestyle on Saturday night, ensuring that he wont be part of the team the U.S. will take to Rio in August.After the race, Jones was the last one out of the pool. He lifted himself onto the pool deck and responded to the cheering fans by raising his arms high above his head. He admitted the outcome was extra frustrating, as he had put everything he had into making the Rio team.And to do that and not get the outcome you were looking for his tough, Jones said, though he added that he does plan on watching both the 50- and 100-meter freestyle races in Rio on TV.?Its going to hurt like hell, but Ill be watching, he said. Wouldnt miss it.Information from ESPNs Wayne Drehs and the Associated Press was used in this report. Adidas Derek Stepan Jersey .

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.

Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers.HAMILTON, Ont. -- If Chris Williams sits out the entire season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats might not have to look far to replace the dangerous dual threat. Canadian Sam Giguere is anxious to become a bigger contributor to the Ticats this year. "Its hard to take a lot of positives from a 6-12 season," the muscular receiver said recently about the 2012 campaign, which was his first in the CFL. "Personally, I wouldve like to help the team more and I dont think I achieved that. "So this year for me its real important to step up and be able to contribute more and make the big plays and get the wins." Thered be no better time than now for the six-foot, 215-pound native of Sherbrooke, Que., to step up. Hamilton, which missed the playoffs last year, is preparing for upcoming season minus Williams, the CFLs top special-teams player last season who is mired in a bitter contract dispute with the Ticats. The speedy receiver/kick-returner went to arbitration to have the final year of his CFL contract voided, reportedly to pursue NFL offers. But an arbitrator ruled last week that Williams deal was binding even though it was negotiated by an unregistered agent, a violation of the CFLs collective bargaining agreement. Williams was a no-show for both Hamiltons mini-camp in April and training camp. Its unclear if hell report now or sit out 2013 then pursue an NFL deal. The five-foot-eight, 175-pound Williams has arguably been Hamiltons best player the last two seasons. The 25-year-old native of Fort Worth, Texas, was the CFLs top rookie in 2011 after registering 70 receptions for 1,064 yards and six TDs. He also had 12 kickoff returns for 252 yards and a touchdown while returning 12 punts for 81 yards. Williams was even better last year, with 83 catches for 1,298 yards and 11 TDs. He also led the CFL in punt returns with 78 for 1,117 yards and five touchdowns while adding five missed field goal returns for 256 yards and a TD. Williams six combined return TDs was a CFL record. Last season was Gigueres first in the CFL after spending three years on the practice roster of the NFLs Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants. The Ticats had high expectations for the former Sherbrooke star when they took him eighth overall in the 2008 CFL draft after he had 45 catches for 871 yards and seven TDs in 07. Not surprising, the bar was set exceedingly high when Giguere finally arrived in Hamilton. Over three seasons at Sherbrooke, the 27-year-old had 94 catches 1,950 yards and 17 TDs and in 07 was a first-team all-Canadian. Giguere cracked Hamiltons starting lineup last season but managed 41 catches for 549 yards and a TD. He also returned 24 kickoffs for 483 yards. But for the second straight year Giguere, who also doubles as brakeman with the Canadian bobsleigh team, finds himself playing for a new coach and learning a new offence. Kent Austin begins his first season as Hamiltons head coach and GM replacing George Cortez, who was fired after one season with the team.dddddddddddd. "Every new coaching staff evaluates players . . . and a new coaching staff also means a new playbook and more time studying," Giguere said. "But everyone is up to the same challenge and weve been working on timing and execution and getting as comfortable as we can with the plays. "Being a pro means being able to handle change . . . with the season we had last year I think everybody figured thered be changes. Everybody wants to win and these are steps we must take if we want to make the playoffs, get to the Grey Cup and win a championship." While Giguere and his offensive teammates adjust to a new coach and playbook, at least theres familiarity in the offensive huddle. Giguere is one of five returning receivers in camp -- Canadians Andy Fantuz and Dave Stala along with Americans Bakari Grant and Onrea Jones -- and also back is sophomore running back Chevon Walker. Most importantly, starter Henry Burris returns after an impressive first season in Hamilton when he established career highs in completions (391), attempts (604), yards (5,367) and TDs (43). Burris recently turned 38 but hasnt shown any signs of slowing down. He has thrown for over 4,000 yards in eight of the last nine years. "Even though were learning new plays, I think theres some good chemistry thats developing within the offence," Giguere said. "Im more comfortable with the formations, motions and waggles and more comfortable with Henry." If training camp is any indication, the Ticats are looking for different ways to utilize Giguere. Hes seeing time as both a wide receiver and slotback. "He has done well," Austin said of Giguere. "Hes had to learn a couple of positions and were moving him around a bit but hes come in in shape and he has some talent." Austin said he has an idea of where Giguere should line up but plans to let the pre-season play out before making any firm decisions. "Right now we need more time with him and need to see him in a game," Austin said. Giguere said its too early in training camp to decide which position he prefers. Then again, in Austins offence, the burly receiver said there will be plenty of footballs to go around. "I think the playbook is built in a way that everybody can contribute and get some footballs," he said. "I think everybody is going to be moving around a lot during the season. "Thats what being a good offence is, being able to move guys and get the matchups we want." And Giguere expects the Ticats to be potent offensively, with or without Williams. "I dont think the offence has to depend on one guy," he said. "I think its a weakness if its that way and I think we have the players on offence to be able to step up and keep going." ' ' '
