OLYMPIC STADIUM, London -- Adam Gemili ran a seasons best before insisting he was capable of bringing home a medal from Rio this summer.The British sprinter clocked a time of 20.07 seconds in the 200 metres at Londons Anniversary Games on Friday night, finishing third behind star attraction Usain Bolt and Panamas Alonso Edward.The result came as a welcome boost for Gemili ahead of the Olympic athletics schedule, which gets underway on August 12. The 22-year-old was forced to miss last years World Championships with a hamstring tear that also curtailed his ability to train earlier this season.While the crowd inside the Olympic Stadium were treated to another Bolt victory in his first race back from a hamstring injury, Gemili was adamant he could hold his own against the world record-holder and stand alongside him on the 200m podium in Rio.If Im aiming just to be a lane-filler then thats probably the best Im ever going to get, Gemili told reporters. I have to keep that belief every day that I can go out there and win the gold. As crazy as that sounds with the talent that there is in the world, if I think any other way then Im never going to achieve that.I have to have confidence in my training that Im working as hard as everyone else in the world, and when I do go out and compete, mentally Im very tough and physically Im in good shape. I have the confidence that Ill go out there and medal. Fingers crossed Ill do my best and hopefully we see a medal.Like Bolt, Gemili has been struck by the plague of the hamstring injury, tearing the muscle last June and only returning to competitive action in February this year. He has since been dealing with aches and pains but insisted he was reaching his peak in time for the Olympics.That claim is being backed up by results. He claimed a narrow victory over 200m at the British Championships in June and was part of Great Britains 4x100m quartet that won European gold in Amsterdam earlier this month.The season started off slow, Gemili said. I had a couple of niggles early on and even now Im coming off the back of a cold. I was looking to get under 20 seconds [on Friday]. That didnt happen, but I was in good company out there. Third place at the Diamond League, Im happy with it.You want to be running your fastest times in Rio. Theres no point running your fastest times in April, May or June. Ill go away and work, then hopefully be peaking for Rio. Ill give it my best shot and, whatever position that gets me to, hopefully everyones entertained and happy.Bolt was back to race in the stadium where he claimed three golds at London 2012 and, while he didnt quite look his fluent best, the Jamaican cruised home as the only man to break the 20 second mark on the fast, freshly-laid track.Gemili admitted it was a privilege to race alongside the Olympic and World champion, although he was shunted out to lane eight while Bolt enjoyed centre stage two inside him. The Jamaican will be targeting an historic triple-triple of golds in Rio and his British challenger was eager to soak up some of his star power in London.[Bolts] been there, hes done it all, Gemili said. Hes an Olympic gold medalist, defended it, a world record-holder. You just see the way he conducts himself. Hes a very different stature to me, so maybe his technique in running the 200 is different to mine, but mentally you dont get a tougher athlete.Its his first 200 of the season and to run sub-20 is phenomenal. You can always learn and Im very lucky to be in that period where he is competing before he does end up retiring. Maybe then I can go and get into my peak. If youre racing in the same race as Usain Bolt, youre in a good place.I was in lane eight here, out of the way. They said let the big man get in the middle and let him be by himself! But I prepare for any lane that Im running in, whoevers inside or outside me -- Usain, Justin Gatlin, whoevers in that final. I do my best to focus on my own race and execute to the best of my ability.

JOHNS, N. Marcus Davenport Saints Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Morten Andersen Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. MIAMI -- Their season, their legacy, their reign atop the NBA was all at stake, and the Miami Heat responded in a manner befitting defending champions -- with a blowout. LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, ailing Dwyane Wade matched his post-season high with 21 points, and the Heat ran away from the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference series on Monday night. In the NBA Finals for the third straight year, the Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 on Thursday in Miami. "Theyre just an amazing group of guys," Heat managing general partner Micky Arison said after handing the East trophy to Chris Andersen. "Theyve given us an incredible season so far, but its a long way from over." It could have ended on Monday, of course. The Heat had alternated wins and losses with the Pacers in the first six games of the series, and were coming off their worst offensive outing of the year in Game 6. They responded with a rout, despite shooting just under 40 per cent, well below their norm. "By any means necessary ... we took care of business," James said. Miami led by as many as 28 points, a shocking amount for a series that had an aggregate score of Heat 569, Pacers 564 entering Monday night. The Heat actually trailed by six in the early going, were still down 21-19 after the first quarter and it was starting to look like it was starting to look like one of those down-to-the-wire nights. Not even close. "You never want to take anything for granted," Wade said. "Being here three straight years in a row, going back to the finals, is an amazing feat. Im just glad we were able to do it. Everything that happened in the first six games didnt mean anything to us. It was about tonight. It was about Game 7. It was about finding a way to win here at home." James exited with 5:08 left, shaking retired soccer star David Beckhams hand as he made his way to the Heat bench for a relatively subdued celebration. Not long afterward, security personnel started whats become a familiar task in Miami -- surrounding the court and stretching out a yellow rope, preparing to hold people at bay for the looming on-court trophy presentation. More than a few people didnt stick around to see the East title formally presented. After all, its an all-or-nothing season for the Heat -- and this trophy isnt the one that will satisfy them. Ray Allen added 10 points for Miami, which earned its 78th victory of the season, matching the 11th-best, single-season total in NBA history. "Its just a privilege to be with this great team, great teammates, and we have another opportunity to go back to where we are," Heat forward Chris Bosh said. "You never really want to get it out of the way too much. Game 7s dont happen too often. We enjoyed it and now we have to move on." Roy Hibbert scored 18 points for the Pacers, who got 14 from David West, 13 from George Hill and 10 from Lance Stephenson. All-Star Paul George was held to seven points on 2-for-9 shooting and fouled out early in the fourth quarter. George was the last Indiana player on the floor as Miami prepped for its postgame celebration, shaking any hand he could find before being walked toward the visiting locker room by Pacers coach Frank Vogel, who slung an arm over his stars shoulder. His time will likely come -- someday. Not yet, though. Not with this Miami team built for titles. Its the fourth trip to the finals for the Heat, who won the title in 2006 and have now been there all three years of the "Big Three" era, falling to Dallas in 2011 and then topping Oklahoma City in five games last year. "The great thing is were a young team and we are past the building stage," George said. "This is really our first year tasting success. The rate we are going, we see championships soon." Theyre getting closer. A second-round loss to Miami in six games last year was followed by a sseven-game, conference-finals exit this time around.dddddddddddd Still, theyll be watching the title round. "Everybody in this country knows who the Indiana Pacers are now," Vogel said. "And we represent all the right things -- class, character, hard work, old-school basketball, playing the game the right way. We represented our franchise, our city and our state extremely, extremely well, and we have a lot to be proud of." Miami went 2-0 against San Antonio this season, though neither of those games should be considered harbingers of whats ahead. The Spurs rested four regulars in the first meeting, the Heat were without three injured starters in the second matchup. "Its crazy that it worked out this way," Wade said. James delivered an inspirational address of sorts to his team Monday morning, publicly revealing no details of what he said afterward other than insisting that the Heat would be ready. He was right. After 5 minutes, it was 12-6 Indiana. After that, the rest of the half was pretty much all Miami. Once the Pacers cooled off a bit, the Heat immediately went into pull-away mode. Over the final 19 minutes of the half, Miamis edge was 46-25. Over the final 11 minutes, it was 33-14, as James and Allen outscored the Pacers by themselves. Allen did less pregame shooting than usual on Monday. He was at the arena several hours before game time -- as is his custom -- and got in a pregame workout, but once he found a groove, he decided that was enough. And after going 13 for 46 in the first six games of the series, the NBAs career leader in 3-pointers had to believe that he was simply overdue to get going. His first shot on Monday was a 3-pointer that connected, giving the Heat a 26-23 lead. The Heat never trailed again. "We just focused on every possession, trying to get stops, play Miami Heat defence, create havoc," James said. "I thought we did that tonight." By halftime, it was 52-37, with James scoring 18 points, Bosh and Wade combining for 17 and Allen adding 10 more. And what had to be most troubling to the Pacers at halftime was their 15 turnovers, a number Vogel said earlier Monday would spell trouble if his team committed that many in the entire game. And in the third, the run the Pacers so desperately needed never arrived. Indiana was still within 13 with 3:37 left in the period when Hibbert picked up his fourth foul. Ordinarily, that would mean someone goes to the bench, though Game 7 on the road for a trip to the finals hardly could be classified as an ordinary occasion. So Vogel -- who was second-guessed for not having Hibbert on the floor for the final moments in overtime of Game 1, when James got to the rim easily for a game-winning layup -- left his centre out there with four fouls. Barely a minute later, it backfired. Hibbert picked up his fifth late in the third, and George got to five fouls by getting whistled twice in the final 46.1 seconds of the quarter. By then, the outcome was obvious. It was Miamis night. "Well enjoy this," Spoelstra said, "for a short period of time." NOTES: Miamis Norris Cole and Indianas Jeff Pendergraph were ejected with 2:17 left after exchanging some heated words. ... The Heat kept struggling Shane Battier on the bench, with Mike Miller getting his minutes. ... .Andersens streak of 18 straight field goals made (he had been 15 for 15 in the series) was snapped in the first half. ... Beckham, who is deciding whether he wants to bring a Major League Soccer team to Miami, was seated next to the Heat bench for the second straight game. Justin Bieber and Flo Rida were also in the crowd, as was reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera. ... The Pacers fell to 2-4 all-time in Game 7s, including 0-4 in road editions of winner-take-all games to decide the Eastern Conference title. ... Hibbert did not elaborate Monday about his comments that drew a $75,000 fine after Game 6, saying he wanted to focus on basketball instead. ' ' '
