It was a weekend of delight for three Sky Academy Sports Scholars as the pressure builds with just over two months to Rio.A toe injury seems to be a distant memory for Paralympian Olivia Breen who produced a strong performance in the T38 100m at the Loughborough International on Sunday.The 19-year-old, recently selected for the 100m, 200m, long jump and 4x100m relay at the IPC European Championships in June in Italy, was third with a personal best of 13.37s having worked hard during the winter on strength and endurance.Breen said: I am so happy to have opened my 100m season with a PB (Personal Best). I felt in the best shape I have ever been in going into a race after my extra 400m training.I was really nervous before the start as I love the 100m and it was really important to me to start 2016 with a good time. I was disappointed with my bad start. Officials were holding people in the blocks for ages which resulted in a lot of false starts.When you have cerebral palsy being held in the blocks is really hard because you become more wobbly. The starter was also really quiet which was hard for everyone but especially because I am deaf. Siobhan-Marie OConnor started the Euros with relay gold in the mixed 4x100m Despite the bad start I kept my focus through each stage of the race and was delighted to reduce my PB. Its not a huge reduction but I know I can reduce this further with a better start.Life has become really, really busy and Rio now seems really close - exciting times.Rising pool star Siobhan-Marie OConnor showed no signs of slowing down at the weekend at the European Championships in London having already bagged silver in the 200m individual medley and gold in the mixed 4x100m medley relay.The 20-year-old from Bath linked up with ex-Scholar Fran Halsall, Chloe Tutton and Kathleen Dawson to storm to gold in the 4x100m medley relay as Team GB ended the week on a high having won the most medals (22) at the event, including seven golds, six silvers and nine bronzes.OConnor, whose 57.69s in her butterfly leg helped the quartet beat the second-placed Italians by over two seconds, said: I had a great time at the Europeans. It was amazing to race in front of the home crowd again and the support was fantastic. Savannah Marshall has one more fight to win and make it to Rio I was really happy to come away with two golds and a silver and to swim a seasons best in my 200IM. Its a great confidence boost leading into the summer and Im really excited for the next few months.Were all on such a high now. Theres lots of confidence within the team.Boxer Savannah Marshall turned on the style again in Kazakhstan at the World Championships and is one win away from qualifying for the Olympics.Having beaten Elena Vystropova in the first round, the 25-year-old from Hartlepool eased past Indias Pooja Rani and now needs to overcome Chinas Qian Li on Tuesday to make the semi-finals and guarantee her spot in Brazil.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS19-27 MAY: Savannah Marshall, World Championships in Kazakhstan27 MAY: Lucy Garner, Boels Hills Classic29 MAY: Lucy Garner, Gooik10-16 JUNE: IPC Athletics European Championships in Grosseto, Italy23-26 JUNE: Lucy Garner, National Road Cycling Championships in Stockton-on-TeesAlso See:About the ScholarshipMeet the athletesBlogsVideosGalleriesCheap Air Max 97 Blue China .

Air Max 97 Cheap Mens .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem.EUGENE, Ore. -- Troy Dye has appeared in just one college game but already hes grabbing attention with his play -- so much so that he was named Pac-12 defensive player of the week.Even the freshman linebacker was kind of surprised by his opening line in Oregons 53-28 season-opening victory over UC Davis: 11 tackles, including seven solo, 4.5 for loss and a sack. He also blocked a field goal attempt. His overall tackles led the team, and his tackles for loss led the nation.It was the most for an Oregon freshman since Walter Thurmond III had 14 tackles in 2006.The atmosphere was wonderful. It was definitely the atmosphere I expected. But the way I played I didnt expect at all, he said. I went out there and read what I read and played fast and physical like the coaches told me to do. So I mean I just had fun.Dye was also named the Ducks internal defensive player of the week, coach Mark Helfrich said Sunday.Hell no doubt look to build on his debut on Saturday night when the 24th-ranked Ducks host Virginia. The Cavaliers, under new coach Bronco Mendenhall, fell to Richmond 37-20 in their opener.Dye, who was considered among the nations top 30 prospects at safety as a prep player, graduated early from Norco High School in Southern California and arrived in Eugene in time to participate in spring drills. He broke up a pass and had three assisted tackles in the spring game.The 6-foot-4 freshman worked hard through the summer and added 15 pounds to bring him up to 225.He figures to be an important piece of the Ducks defense under new coordinator Brady Hoke, the former Michigan coach, who is installing a new 4-3 scheme.The Ducks needed a defensive makeover. Oregon ranked last in the league by allowwing 37.dddddddddddd5 points per game last season. Defensive lapses included last seasons Alamo Bowl, when the Ducks squandered a 31-0 halftime lead and fell 47-41 in triple overtime to TCU.There was admittedly more work to do following the victory over the Aggies. The Ducks allowed UC Davis 21 points in the second half.There is a ton of stuff we can get better at. Usually, you make the most improvement between games one and two and we have a lot of improvement to make, Hoke said. It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, I thought we played on edge a bit and then we came out in the second half and didnt feel the same edge. We gave up some plays you cant give up.Hoke didnt seem all that surprised about Dyes ability.Hes a very, very good athlete. I think his football instinct IQ is very good. I dont know that absolutely surprised anybody, Hoke said. But there are some things he can do better, too.Helfrich wasnt surprised, either.Everything he does in drills, he just competes his face off and hell hit you, Helfrich said. Hes a guy that weve been very excited about since the day he got here.His teammates say Dye studies hard when it comes to the playbook and game film. He said it helps him play fast and, after Saturdays win, he was already looking forward to seeing the film on the Cavaliers.Its obviously paid off for him to be prepared.Sometimes when I was out there I knew what was coming, Dye said. We watched a lot of film last week and we dissected the offense really well, so I mean there were a lot of indicators and keys that they had so I just read them. ' ' '
