The British Olympic team has declared itself happy with the state of the
athletes Olympic Village after delegations from Australia and Argentina voiced
concerns.
Wayne Gretzky Jersey .Australias athletes
were due to move into the accommodations on Wednesday after initially refusing
at the start of the week because of problems with blocked toilets, leaking
pipes, exposed wiring, darkened stairwells where no lighting has been installed
and dirty floors in need of a massive clean.The Argentina Olympic Committee
(COA) has similar concerns and will be renting apartments outside the village,
saying it cannot take risks while repairs are being made.The Belarus Olympic
Committee also questioned the cleanliness,?saying there remains much for the Rio
organising committee to do so that the living conditions meet sanitary
requirements.But Team GB is happy with the accommodations, and some athletes
have already spent two nights in the village. The opening ceremony is scheduled
for Aug. 5.Team GB were one of the first National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to
take possession of Olympic Village accommodation and have been on site for a
week, a BOA spokesperson said.Since then, we have been meeting on a daily basis
with the local organising committee and our colleagues from other NOCs to find
solutions to issues that have arisen in the village for the benefit of all
delegations.We are confident that our accommodation is ready to receive athletes
and will be to the highest standards. Whilst we have encountered some
maintenance difficulties, this is not uncommon with new build structures of this
type and we have been working hard to overcome them.Many of our athletes will be
received into our preparation camp in nearby Belo Horizonte first as they focus
on acclimatisation and training.

. Defenceman Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period
and the Canucks breathed a sigh of relief with a 2-1 win on Saturday
night.DETROIT -- The young Detroit Red Wings have made the mighty Chicago
Blackhawks look vulnerable, beating them two straight times to gain an advantage
in their last playoff matchup as Western Conference rivals. Gustav Nyquist and
Drew Miller scored 31 seconds apart midway through the second period and
Pavel Datsyuk restored a two-goal lead in the third to help Detroit beat the
Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 Monday night and take a 2-1 lead in the second round
series. As good as the Red Wings have looked -- scoring six straight goals to
earn momentum in the matchup -- their hard-driving coach isnt ready to
celebrate. "We havent done anything yet," Mike Babcock said. Thats an
understatement. If the seventh-seeded Red Wings keep playing like they are, the
top-seeded Blackhawks will have a long off-season to wonder what went wrong in a
season that looked like it was going to be special. On Thursday night at home in
Game 4, Detroit has a shot to put Chicago on the brink of elimination. "It takes
something like this to slap you in the face, so to speak, to really understand
what adversity is and how tough the playoffs can be," Blackhawks captain
Jonathan Toews said. "A lot of guys in this room have been in tough positions
before in the playoffs and thats never stopped us. We know this is a long series
and were going to be fighting until the end." Chicagos chances will improve if
Toews can end his goal-scoring skid. He doesnt have a goal in nine playoff
games, dating to last year. He matched Patrick Kane with a team-high 23 goals in
the 48-game, lockout-shortened season. Toews did have a game-high seven shots in
Game 3, but Jimmy Howard and his backchecking, shot-blocking teammates wouldnt
let him end his drought. "Im not going to let it get the best of me," Toews
said. "I know Im doing good things. Im very confident that its going to come."
Kane scored 4:35 into the third period to pull Chicago within one. About a
minute later, the Blackhawks celebrated as if they tied the game, but
Andrew Shaws goal was waved off because he was in the crease. Chicago coach Joel
Quenneville said he disagreed with the call that negated Shaws gaame-tying
score.
Esa Tikkanen Oilers Jersey. "He didnt touch
the goalie," Quenneville said. And Chicagos goalie, Corey Crawford, couldnt
touch Datsyuks shot 6:46 into the final period that went in and out of the net
before he saw it. Crawford finished with 27 saves. Howard stopped 39 shots.
Chicago has lost consecutive games for the first time in nearly two months. The
Blackhawks began the lockout-delayed season by setting an NHL record with at
least a point in their first 24 games, ended it with a league-high 77 points and
avoided having a three-game losing streak. "The team is facing a little
adversity and I am on a personal basis," Toews said. "Not going to let that stop
us or me." After a scoreless first period in a hot and steamy Joe Louis Arena,
Detroit took a 2-0 lead with a pretty goal and a gritty one. Nyquist patiently
carried the puck from right to left and waited for defenceman Brent Seabrook and
Crawford to sprawl out to make a shot before shooting the puck into the open
net. "Hes real good at hanging onto the puck," Babcock said. Miller crashed the
net to stuff the puck into the net after Patrick Eaves got to his own rebound to
keep pressure on Crawford. Blackhawks defenceman Michal Rozsival started the
sequence with a turnover in the Chicago end. It was a sixth straight goal for
the Red Wings, who lost the series opener 4-1 and gave up the first goal of Game
2 before going on to even the series with a 4-1 victory. "Theyre a real good
team and theyre going to carry the play at times," Babcock said. "Were a good
team and were going to carry the play at times." NOTES: Babcock won his 77th
post-season game, matching Quenneville for the most among active coaches and
trailing Pat Burns by one victory for 8th place on the NHLs all-time list. ...
Chicago hasnt given up a power play goal in its first eight playoff games,
matching the 2001 St. Louis Blues for the longest such streak since 1988,
according to STATS. ... The Blackhawks put Viktor Stalberg back in the lineup,
and scratched Daniel Carcillo, and Stalberg got shook up early in the game,
missing a check and going head first into the boards.
