Australian Paralympic swimmer Ahmed Kelly earned his hard-as-nails reputation playing Aussie rules, but hed done plenty to justify it before he even took to the field.The 25-year-old grew up in a war zone, abandoned at an Iraqi orphanage with severely deformed limbs.I was born with no arms and no legs. Its thought to be due to exposure to chemical weapons, he told AAP.His life changed at age seven when he was adopted by humanitarian Moira Kelly and brought to Australia to receive treatment.He is now a genuine contender for a gold medal in swimming at the Rio Paralympic Games, being held from September 7-18.I want to get a personal best time. Hopefully thats good enough for me to get on the podium, and a gold medal would be an amazing bonus, he said.Kelly got the nickname Nails for his tough playing style with his local AFL team as a teenager in Victoria.I got `Nails for attacking the footy without any fear, I played with a lot of passion and desperation, he said.When Kelly took to the pool and later debuted at the 2012 London Paralympics, that moniker became Liquid Nails.The Melbourne-based athlete came agonisingly close to a podium finish in London, with a fourth in the 50-metre breaststroke.Hes hoping to close that gap in Rio, and drastically improved his time at the April selection trials in Adelaide.Compared to what I swam in London, it was about a second and a half improvement, he said.And hes ramped up his training schedule to 11 sessions a week in the hopes of bringing home gold.Kelly is also studying for a journalism degree part-time, and says hell always be thankful to his mum Moira for giving him and his brother Emmanuel a new life.Upon arriving in Australia, Kelly underwent surgery to remove the deformed sections of his lower legs and had to learn to walk all over again with prostheses.The operation came and it was quite scary at first, but I just couldnt wait to walk like everybody else, he said.There I was getting ready to wear prosthetic legs and when I put them on, it just felt like magic.Kelly says two of his biggest fans are his adopted little sisters, Trishna and Krishna.The Bangladeshi conjoined twins made worldwide headlines in 2009 when they underwent a 32-hour operation to separate them.They wont be making the long journey (to Rio), theyre not quite ready for that just yet, Kelly said.No matter how tired they are, they better wake up and watch the race. Or at least record it!The girls are now nine, and Kelly wants to show them that anything is possible.I hope I can be the person to give them good advice to tackle some of lifes tough challenges, he said.AUSTRALIAS RIO PARALYMPIC TEAM* 169 athletes competing across 15 sports* Aiming for a top-five finish - that means at least 15 gold medals* Placed in the top five at every Games since Barcelona in 1992* Our biggest competition likely to come from Brazil* Para-triathlon and para-canoe to make Paralympic debut.Thomas Muller Bayern Munich Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Mario Gotze Bayern Munich Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.soccerfcbayernshop.com/kids-felix-gotze-munich-jersey/ . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Jeong Woo-yeong Jersey . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. David Alaba Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006.Having taken one step through the AFL finals, Adelaide coach Don Pyke could take another without two defensive pillars.Crow Kyle Hartigan is certain to be sanctioned after being reported for tripping during Adelaides 62-point elimination final thrashing of North Melbourne.And his fellow tall backman Daniel Talia faces scrutiny from the match review panel after felling Kangaroo forward Drew Petrie with what appeared to be a forearm strike.Hartigans trip of Norths Lindsay Thomas was blatant - the Crow thrust out his left leg, making contact to the Roo goalsneaks knee and causing him to fall.But its up to the match review panel to decide whether the act was severe enough to warrant a suspension which could rule Hartigan out of Adelaides away Saturday night semi-final against Sydney.Pyke, asked if he was worried about the Hartigan report, replied: I cant really comment on that. We will see what happens out of that over the tribunal process.Pressed as tto what it could potentially mean to his defensive stocks, Pyke said: We will cross that bridge when we come to it.dddddddddddd.Talias uncharacteristic aggression on Petrie will also be examined though replays appeared inconclusive as to the force, and where the contact landed.The Crows can ill afford to lose either defender for their away clash against a Swans outfit seeking to respond to a heavy qualifying loss to Greater Western Sydney.(Beating North) is one step, the first step for us in terms of where wed like to take our finals campaign, Pyke said.And the next step is Sydney in Sydney so a terrific challenge.I saw only a bit of the (Sydney) game before we came to our game so I will have a look at them closely.But clearly they are going to be disappointed from the result and well expect a fired up Sydney next week.
