the Games set to open in just under three weeks.Jordan Spieth was the last of the top four to withdraw from the Olympics, citing Antworten

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The head of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics says the worlds top four male golfers have withdrawn from the Games because there is no money to be won -- not because of the Zika virus.They tried to blame Zika, but the media have shown that they are not coming because theres no prize money, Rio organizing committee President Carlos Nuzman said Saturday, speaking with the Games set to open in just under three weeks.Jordan Spieth was the last of the top four to withdraw from the Olympics, citing health concerns and other matter he said were personal. Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy said Zika was the main reason for skipping the first Olympic golf tournament in 112 years.Their absence could be a setback for golfs future in the Olympics. IOC President Thomas Bach has said that golfs future may rest on its ability to get top players to show up.Golf is guaranteed a spot in the Tokyo Olympics in four years, but could be vulnerable after that.Zika is much worse in Florida than in Brazil, and golfers are playing in Florida, Nuzman said.Male golfers have also cited security worries, and some have complained that Olympic golf has been wedged into an already crowded tour schedule.Rio has myriad Olympic problems: Zika, security concerns, severe water pollution and sluggish ticket sales.Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes warned in the wake of the attack Thursday in Nice, France, that fans in Rio could face more checks, more roadblocks and more delays.Probably the security forces are going to demand more blockades, more inconvenient things, Paes said.Nuzman, speaking at a debate sponsored by a local magazine, seemed to be bracing for small crowds at some Olympic venues. Organizers say about 70 percent of tickets have been sold.I dont think we need too much public, he said, adding that smaller venues could save money.Television does an extraordinary job, with cameras everywhere, he added. Nobody can walk a step without a camera filming it.Nuzman also said he expected Rios suspended drug-testing lab to be ready when the games open Aug. 5. He expected the World Anti-Doping Agency to give its approval in a few days.The suspension has been an embarrassment for local organizers and a headache for the International Olympic Committee, which could be forced to send blood and urine samples abroad for testing if the lab remains closed.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee is turning one of its biggest weaknesses from last season into a strength.Alexa Middleton scored a career-high 21 points as No. 13 Tennessee capitalized on sizzling 3-point shooting Sunday to beat Navy 85-55 and win a home opener for the 17th consecutive season. Tennessee (2-0) hasnt lost a home opener since a 69-64 decision against Louisiana Tech in 1999.The Lady Volunteers shot 12 of 14 from 3-point range, with Middleton going 6 of 7. After making just 25.4 percent of its 3-pointers last season to rank last in the Southeastern Conference, Tennessee has shot 56.4 percent (22 of 39) from 3-point range this season.I know a lot of people last year said we couldnt shoot the ball, Middleton said. Were trying to make sure we can hit those open shots because people are sagging in on (center Mercedes Russell), and shes going to kick the ball out. Weve got to be able to hit those shots if we want to do well.This marks the first time Tennessee has made at least 10 3-point baskets in consecutive games since November 2011. Tennessee shot 10 of 25 from 3-point range Friday in a season-opening victory at James Madison.Russell had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Tennessee. Jordan Reynolds had 12 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Diamond DeShields added 14 points.Ashanti Kennedy scored 16 points and Taylor Dunham added 14 for Navy (0-2).This game was a mismatch in terms of height.Navys tallest player was 6-foot freshman forward Laurel Jaunich, and its other four starters were 5-8 or shorter. Tennessees starting lineup included four players taller than 6 feet, including the 6-6 Russell.Navy still briefly led in the second quarter and only trailed 43-35 at the half, which caused the Lady Vols to receive a stern halftime lecture from coach Holly Warlick.My expectations for them are high, and these kids understand it, Warlick said. I saw things I havent seen in practice for whatever reason. Im just not going to tolerate no effort.Tennessee gradually put the game out of reach as Navy cooled off. After shooting 5 of 11 from 3-point range in the first half, Navy was 1 of 9 the rest of the way.ddddddddddddPlaying against Tennessee, everyone was really excited, Dunham said. We had a lot of energy and we were hitting shots. Everyone was making big plays. I wouldnt say our energy was that much different in the second half, but Tennessee definitely picked theirs up.THE TAKEAWAYNavy: A lack of height will force Navy to rely on its outside shooting this season. Tennessee outrebounded Navy 47-29. Through its first two games, Navy has been outrebounded 94-51 and has shot 19 of 46 from 3-point range.Tennessee: Middleton has shown remarkable scoring punch in the first two games of the season after averaging just 3 points per game last season and 3.8 points per game in 2014-15. The 5-9 junior had 18 points off the bench against James Madison and was even more productive Sunday. Middleton is 10 of 11 from 3-point range thus far.PAYING TRIBUTETennessee went through its pregame shooting drills wearing special Veterans Day T-shirts. The back of the shirts said Thank You and mentioned the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.Navy wore purple T-shirts with the message We Back Pat to honor former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who died June 28 after battling early-onset dementia, Alzheimers type.The Lady Vols gave Navys players miniature basketballs with messages thanking them for their serviceThere are so many crazy things going on right now, Warlick said. Weve all got to pull together. ... Our military is there to help us and to make sure I can be a female coaching womens basketball, and these young ladies -- black or white -- can go out and perform, and they have that opportunity and we pay for their education. That comes from people fighting for our freedom.UP NEXTNavy hosts Hofstra on Friday.Tennessee is at East Tennessee State on Tuesday.---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
