water polo, the U.S. has never captured gold, but is coming off a silver medal
showing in Beijing for its third second-place finish and sixth overall medal in

round following a quarterfinals bye.

Track and Field Trials at Foothills Athletic Club in Calgary, Armstrong was
gracious enough to answer my questions.
You threw
21.29m at the Olympic Trials on the weekend. What will it take for you to be on
the podium at the 2012 Olympic Games in London? I'd like to throw over 22 m (Armstrong
has the Canadian record of 22.21m set at the 2011 Canadian Track and Field
Championships in Calgary). That is always the goal. I can definitely do that.
I've got three weeks now to just go after it and get some really good training
in.The women's world record holder had surgery in 2009 in an effort to resolve her foot problem.
However, the issue has flared up again.
"Training
has gone really well through May and June," she said. "Up until now, I've
been really pleased with how things are going. "My old osteoarthritic foot
has just decided to flare up this week which has given me a bit of a panic, but
I'm trying to stay calm and stay on top of that. "I've been getting
treatment all the time on it and I am going straight away from here to get more
treatment on it now." Radcliffe, who was speaking at the launch of

fitness in the build-up to London 2012.

the Olympic qualifying mark with a time of two hours 23 minutes and 46 seconds.
Australian shooting champion Russell Mark says his country's decision to ban
athletes from using strong sleeping pills in the lead up to the London Games
will cost medals.
AOC president John
Coates said Australian athletes will be banned from using insomnia treatments
after champion swimmer Grant Hackett revealed he became dependent on sleeping
pills during his career. Mark said he had used sleeping pills for 20 years to
ensure he overcame jetlag in the lead up to competitions. 'If John Coates tells
me I can only use my sleeping pills for three nights while I'm in London, it
will have an effect on my performance,' he added. 'I'm going to fly over to
England on the July 16. I'm going to land there at 5.30am on July 17. At 9am
the next day, I'm actually officially training. If I don't get a good night's
sleep it's not worth me going. Following a bid headed by former Olympic

become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times,
having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.
