A day before her 23rd birthday, Dipa Karmakar became the first Indian to qualify for the apparatus finals in an Olympic gymnastics competition, after she finished eighth in the qualifiers of the vault event.?Im happy but wish I could have done a bit better, Dipa said. In practice, I perform way better than this.Dipa, who is taking part in her first ever Games, scored 14.850 points from her two vaults at the Rio Olympic Arena on Sunday afternoon, which temporarily placed her at sixth. She then had to wait for nearly five hours for 38 other competitors to finish their vaults, before her qualification was secure. There were some nervous moments towards the end of the qualifiers when Canadas Olsen Shallon pushed Dipa down to the eighth, the last qualifying spot.?As the Produnova vault was the first thing I attempted today and it did not go as expected, it immediately put me in a bad mood, Dipa said. It wasnt very good. I was hoping for a better score from the first vault and because it was low. I was really disappointed. My landing had been better in training. My hip touched the mat today which wasnt in the plans. That I have reached the final is an amazing achievement.USAs Simone Biles, the three-time world champion, topped the qualifying round with a score of 16.050. The top eight gymnasts will now compete in the individual apparatus finals on August 14.Simone Biles came up to me and wished me luck to do well in Produnova, Dipa said. She is like a star to me and difficult to think of standing beside her. Im so overwhelmed.At the Olympic Games, Dipa was to compete in exactly the same two vaults as she did at the worlds: the first being the front handspring double somersault (the Produnova) with a D-(difficulty) score points value of 7 and the second, a Tsukahara stretched double twist (also known as the Zamolodchikova) with a D-score points value of 6. Dipa scored 15.100 in the Produnova (7 for difficulty + 8.1 for Execution) and 14.6 in the Zamolodchikova (6 for difficulty + 8.6 for execution). During qualification, she was the only gymnast to successfully attempt the Produnova.?Dipa added that her coach, Bisweshwar Nandi, was very happy since she executed what he had taught her to do.Dipas total of 14.850 was better than her scores at the 2015 World Championship vault final in Glasgow where she finished fifth with 14.683, but could not nail as high a score in Rio off her first vault as she had done in Glasgow.In the all-round individual standing, Dipa finished 51st with 51.665 points in a field of 98 gymnasts. She did not enter the all-round competition. Air Max 270 React Mens . Fellow centre Pavel Datsyuk remains out because of a concussion.

BOISE, Idaho -- Boise State running back Jeremy McNichols admitted that last season he didnt spend as much time in the film room or with his offensive line. Hes changed that this year and its paying big dividends.McNichols rushed for 206 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to power No. 20 Boise State past UNLV 42-25 on Friday night.Boise State (10-1, 6-1; ?No. 22 AP) kept its Mountain West title hopes alive and reached 10 victories for the second time in three seasons under head coach Bryan Harsin. After passing Western Michigan in the College Football Playoff rankings this week, the Broncos also remained in contention for a Cotton Bowl berth.McNichols set a school record for the most 200-yard rushing games in a single season with his third.You have to know your offensive line well, McNichols said. And last year I didnt watch as much film with them or spend as much time around them. But I changed that this year.Now even at our walk throughs, Ill go over and see what theyre talking about. Having a good relationship with your offensive line is huge. When they mean something and you show them they mean something, they feel like they scored a touchdown with you. They run down the field to try and catch me. Its fun.The Rebels (4-7, 3-4), who lost for fifth time in five tries at Boise State, didnt have much fun trying to stop McNichols, who entered the game as the nations fifth-leading rusher.(McNichols) did a good job of bouncing to the outside and breaking contain, UNLV coach Tony Sanchez said. We had him dead to rights a few times, but just werent able to tackle in space. And that killed us.UNLVs offense, which was missing leading receiver Devonte Boyd due to a broken hand suffered last week, didnt have any better luck either, managing only 302 yards of total offense, their second-lowest output of the season.Harsin said he planned on emphasizing the ground game against UNLV, but things went better than expected.We came in here with the game plan to run the ball, Harsin said, But the way Jeremy was just running it, when hes hot like that, you want to keep getting it to him.McNichols, a junior who could follow in the footsteps of former teammate and Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi and enter the draft after the season, said his last regular season game at home seemed different.I said before the game that something felt special about tonight, McNichols said. When you get in that groove, you feel like every touch could go the distance. And it felt like that tonight.After UNLV converted aa fumble into a field goal on Boise States opening possession, the Broncos went on a 19-play, 74-yard drive -- their longest of the season -- and took a 7-3 lead on quarterback Brett Rypiens 1-yard run.ddddddddddddThe Broncos followed that drive up with their shortest after a 73-yard punt return by Cedrick Wilson set up Boise States offense at the UNLV 6. On the only play of the drive the Broncos ran, McNichols bounced outside and won a footrace to the corner of the end zone for the touchdown, giving Boise State a 14-3 first quarter lead.That early lead helped set the tone for Boise State as UNLV never really threatened to make the game competitive.Rypien finished with 109 yards on 10-of-20 passing. Career receiving leader Thomas Sperbeck had five catches for 47 yards in his final regular-season home game.UNLVs Kurt Palandech passed for 113 yards, completing 10 of 20 passes. He also led the team in rushing with 64 yards.TAKEAWAYSUNLV: The Rebels have already topped last seasons win total of three games, but they will look to finish strong with a win in their finale next Saturday. With a victory, the Rebels could lock up second place in the West division and set their eyes on getting bowl eligible next year.Boise State: The Broncos defense delivered one of their most dominant performances of the season as the entire team seems to peaking at the right time. In the three games since its last-minute loss on the road at Wyoming, Boise State has committed only one turnover and averaged more than 48 points a game, while limiting opponents to just over 21.POLL IMPLICATIONSBoise State isnt likely to impress the voters much with the victory, though the easy win shouldnt cost them any votes either. Dont expect the Broncos to move up in the poll much as most of the teams in front to them are all favored to win handily Saturday.UP NEXTUNLV: The Rebels host in-state rival Nevada in the regular-season finale for both teams.Boise State: The Broncos will travel to Air Force for their final regular-season tilt in a must-win game to keep their division title hopes alive.MORE McNICHOLSMcNichols entered the game leading the nation in scoring with 132 points.
