EUGENE, Ore. Cheap Redskins Jerseys China . -- A few more kids are on their way to Brazil after Saturdays racing at the U.S. Track and Field Trials.In this case, they are 41-year-old Bernard Lagats son and daughter, Miika and Gianna.The American record-holder runner flipped the script on a youth-filled trials Saturday, running his final lap of the 5,000 meters in 52 seconds to charge from sixth to first and earn his fifth, and most surprising, trip to the Olympics.Lagat, who won in 13 minutes, 35.50 seconds, will have his kids in tow on the way to Rio.Joining them there will be 34-year-old Justin Gatlin, who made his third Olympics -- holding off LaShawn Merritt and a duo of high schoolers, Michael Norman and Noah Lyles, who stood as the latest examples of the growing youth movement in American track.Like Gatlin, though, Lagat isnt quite finished.There were people going, `You never know how hes going to perform. They were saying Im done and cannot make the team, he said. That didnt sound right to me.That talk picked up last year, when the Kenyan-born runner missed his first worlds or Olympics team since he became an American citizen in 2005 -- a failure he said crushed him because his kids were pushing hard for him to make the trip. The murmurs came back after he dropped out of the 5,000 earlier this season at the Prefontaine Classic and only got louder when he pulled out of 10K qualifying earlier in trials.But Lagat was far from finished in his own mind, and those competing against him felt the same way.We know Bernard Lagat will be done, said third-place finisher Paul Chelimo, when hes not running anymore.Nobody ignores Gatlin, the world silver medalist at 100 and 200 meters, though he may have been hard to miss early in the 200-meter final -- stuck on the outside lane thanks to finishing behind Norman in the previous days semifinals.Unable to see the competition as he worked the curve, it turned the race into what he called a glorified time trial.It turned into quite a showdown along the stretch, with Gatlin finishing in 19.75 seconds and edging Merritt -- the 400-meter specialist whos pretty good at 200, too -- by a mere .04 seconds.I said, `You know what, if Lagat had the guts to go out there and do what he needs to do at his age, I can go out there and do what I need to do, especially from Lane 8, Gatlin said.Like Merritt, Allyson Felix remains in the mix for the 200-400 double; she made it easily through her semifinal round. Like Merritt, Felix turned 30 in the past year. And like Merritt, she is an expert at pacing herself through the rounds in multiple races.Experience means a lot, Merritt said. Its being comfortable once you get out there. Being able to use the nerves as positive energy. And knowing youve been there before and know how to handle it, it gives you a chip on your shoulder.Lagat certainly had one.He heard the whispers from fans, felt the pressure from his own kids. When the race ended, he dropped to the ground and shouted: Love you. Gianna. Miika! They shared a long, cheer-filled victory lap, and Lagat said he did it for them as much as him.Great when a plan goes right.My daughter said, `I want you to win, Lagat said, So I can go see gymnastics.

Price, heading to the 2014 Olympics for Canada, was named the First Star after posting wins in three starts with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .971 save percentage. Ferrari is not only working on its 2017 car but has already started looking ahead to its 2018 Formula One project, team boss Maurizio Arrivabene has revealed.The team looks set for another season finishing second to Mercedes this year, but new technical regulations in 2017 present an opportunity to overturn that advantage. Arrivabene has vowed not to give up on this season, but has also revealed that the team is already looking two years down the road with a small team working on developments for 2018.I always said that the team that is working here is very, very focussed on this year because even if the gap is quite big, I think we can fight, and I am sure that we can fight, he said. In the meantime we have a different methodology to work, so we have a team that is focused on this years car and a little team that is focused on next years car and one other that is looking to 2018, especiallly with the engine.

Victory opportunities at the Australian and Canadian Grands Prix went begging earlier this year, and in Spain Kimi Raikkonen was just 0.6s off Max Verstappen at the front of the field. Asked if he was personally disappointed by Ferraris lack of a victory this year, Arrivabene said he felt the team had been unlucky.When we are going to win, Im always going up to the sky because I am very emotional and very passionate, but in this role you have to forget about this and you have to keep calm.You have to look at the season, the next races, and keep the team motivated without too many ups and downs. We need to follow our way. I always said that I dont trust the bad luck or the luck, but in this case I think luck has a big debt with us. ' ' '
