A defiant Sally Pearson says she is yet to reach the peak of her powers as an athlete and wont rule out a push for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.But for now, Pearson says she is setting her sights on next years world championships and the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast as she comes to terms with being forced out of the Rio Olympics by injury.I know what type of athlete I am and what Im capable of as an athlete. I dont think Ive reached my peak yet. I think Im capable of a lot more, Pearson told reporters on Thursday.Im only 29, track and field athletes can go on for a bit longer.But at this stage Im only lking forward to 2018.Theres not many chances you get to run in a major championships 10 minutes up the road from your house. It will be pretty special.Pearson, the reigning Olympic 100m hurdles champion, would be 31 for the Commonwealth Games and 34 by the time of the Toyko Olympics.But she wont be going to Rio after suffering a tear to her right hamstring during training on Monday at her Gold Coast base - seven weeks and one day out from her first scheduled Games heat.The tear was small but significant, in a high-risk location near her tendon and Pearson said she immediately knew it would put her Olympic hopes in serious risk.It comes 12 months after she suffered a broken wrist and a torn calf in a Diamond League event in Rome, a traumatic set of injuries that made her consider retirement.But Pearson insists she wont throw in the towel after her latest setback.This is what I do, as a job, this is who I am. Im not just going to give up because I have an injury, Pearson said.This is a low time for me and it has been for a few years with different injuries, but Ive always bounced back, Ive always come back fitter, stronger and faster, and achieved amazing things still through adversity.Its unfortunate, these are the down times, but the highs always make up for it.Athletics Australia head coach Craig Hilliard said he was devastated for Pearson but believed she would bounce back and that the rest of the Australian team could have a successful campaign in Rio without her.Clearly her body is telling her it needs a rest from the sustained mental and physical workload needed to train and compete at the highest level, he said.However, I am confident that with appropriate rehabilitation and rest she can be back as strong as ever.Air Jordan 6 Nz Cheap . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason.

Over the next two weeks, we will lk at the top five newcomers in each of the 10 biggest conferences. Next up is the Big Ten.Expected and unexpected -- thats the best way to sum up the Big Tens incoming crop of freshmen. Some -- most, even -- are going where youd expect the top players to go, to the established programs with the national reputations. But in a league that sometimes seems stagnant, if not downright boring, some signs of change are coming, with a handful of players taking risks on teams that are trying desperately to upset the status quo.Heres a lk at the top newcomers in the Big Ten:Miles Bridges, Michigan State Spartans Bridges could be the latest in a long line of Flintstones to make his mark with the Spartans. Ranked eighth in his class, the small forward from Flint, Michigan, anchors a stellar recruiting class for coach Tom Izzo, a crew of freshmen that should help Spartans fans cope with the loss of Denzel Valentine a little more easily. Bridges already has shown he has serious ups --?check out this video of him touching the top of the backboard -- but hes got a lot more than hops. Built like a linebacker, hes a power wing who can score but also has the blue-collar workman skills that Izzo loves. The last Flintstones -- Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson and Charlie Bell -- did pretty well for Michigan State, winning a national title in 2000. While its a lot to ask of Bridges to do that on his own, its not out of the question with the rest of the class hes bringing, along with what the Spartans have returning.Josh Langford, Michigan State Spartans See above? Sort of. Langford isnt the same player as Bridges, but the same rules apply. Hes yet another reason ?this could be a very gd year for Michigan State. Valentine once compared the shting guard to Kobe Bryant, which might just be a touch hyperbolic. Still, Langford is a multiskilled combo guard whos terrific at getting to the rim. Presuming his 3-point shot improves, hell be a huge offensive weapon for Izzo. And considering he is just the second of four top-100 recruits coming to Michigan State -- point guard Cassius Winston and center Nick Ward are the other two -- the Spartans could have easily owned the majority of this list.DeRon Davis, Indiana Hsiers Coach Tom Crean promised Davis a scholarship before the power forward even got into high schl, offering a spot on the Hsiers roster back when Davis was an eighth-grader.ddddddddddddOf course at the time, Davis was the top-rated eighth grader in the country, so it wasnt a terrible idea. Like most early rankings and early offers, theirs was tested. Davis ranking didnt remain static as he matured. Plus the Hsiers didnt necessarily remain a safe choice, as Creans job security came under heavy scrutiny. Davis scored more than 1,500 points, pulled down more than 1,000 rebounds and set a Colorado state record in blocked shots in high schl. The two sides remained loyal, and the result is an upgrade from a formidable Hsiers frontcourt into a downright terrifying one. With Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby electing to stay in schl, defending Big Ten champion Indiana is loaded.Amir Coffey, Minnesota Golden Gophers Whether Coffey turns out to be the best remains to be seen. He just might be the most critical. With coach Richard Pitino feeling the fire around him, keeping local boy Coffey home was vital. Ranked 32nd in his class, Coffey missed part of his junior year after tearing his ACL, but he rebounded big in his senior year, earning a spot in the nationwide Jordan Brand Classic. The son of Richard Coffey, who played at Minnesota and briefly in the NBA, Coffeys style is different from his fathers -- more fluid than forceful -- but hes clearly learned how to play the game. His basketball IQ and deft passing skills have turned as many heads as his scoring ability. Heaven knows, Coffey will get the chance to play right away for the Gophers. Now the question is, can he help turn things around?Tony Carr, Penn State Nittany Lions No, thats not a typo. One of the top newcomers in the Big Ten is, in fact, going to Penn State -- to play basketball. Carr headlines the class that Nittany Lions fans have been waiting on and coach Pat Chambers has been desperately trying to attract, a class that actually ranks 25th in the nation. Carr is the big prize, a point guard who could earn a starting spot as sn as practice starts. Equally important is that he, Nazeer Bostick and Lamar Stevens all graduated from Philadelphia power Roman Catholic High Schl. For years Penn State has struggled to tap into the crucial and plentiful Philly recruiting bed. If Carr & Co. succeed, this could open a pipeline that perhaps could finally change the Nittany Lions fortunes. ' ' '
