Greg Rutherford maintained his impressive winning run at major championships by retaining his European long jump title in Amsterdam. Clement Grenier Jersey .The 29-year-old blew away any fitness concerns by leaping out to 8.25 metres on his penultimate attempt to overhaul Swedens Michel Torneus by just four centimetres.His victory came minutes after Dina Asher-Smith blazed to 200m gold to land her first major senior crown as Great Britains athletes kick-started their continental campaign in style on day two of competition.There were fitness doubts over the Milton Keynes man, given he had not competed for a month before heading to Amsterdam.Rutherford revealed he had lost the hearing in his left ear as a result of the whiplash injury he suffered on his last competition at the Birmingham Diamond League and was risking permanent damage by continuing to jump.He admitted he felt rusty in qualifying on Wednesday and it showed.Rutherford, though, is a proven championship performer, and, when it came to the final, having sat in second for much of the competition, he pulled out a winning jump when it mattered.While Rutherford has been there and done it, Asher-Smiths success marked another breakthrough for the 20-year-old history student, the brightest of Great Britains young sprint hopes.A kit carrier at London 2012, she flew round the bend to hold a commanding lead heading into the straight as she crossed the line in a seasons best 22.37 seconds.She comfortably beat Ivet Lalova-Collio, her only serious rival in the absence of Hollands world champion Dafne Schippers, into second.The time put Asher-Smith 10th in the world rankings this year, but she admitted ahead of the championships that this event was a building block to the Olympics and she wanted to be running her fastest in Rio next month.Asher-Smith said: I didnt expect it. I knew I was in a good position going in, but at the same time I knew I had to go in there and actually run a good race.Sometimes I get a bit nervous and I tie up the last 30m as I did, so I just wanted to cross the line first. I did so I was super-happy.My mums here. I saw her on the victory lap, she was jumping up and down crying at me.Jodie Williams, who won European silver two years ago in Zurich when Asher-Smith pulled up with a hamstring injury, was sixth in 22.96.Tiffany Porter took Britains medal tally to three, but the defending champion had to settle for bronze in the 100m hurdles in 12.76.James Ellington, having looked so impressive in clocking a personal best 10.04 in the 100m semifinals, had to settle for fifth in 10.19 as Hollands Churandy Martina took a shock victory in 10.07, much to the delight of the home crowd.There was worse news for Ellingtons team-mate Richard Kilty as the former world indoor champion was disqualified in the final for a false start. Mohamed Salah Jersey .875,000, avoiding arbitration. Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing. Francesco Totti Jersey .

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. http://www.asromafcstore.com/francesco-totti-as-roma-jersey/ . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. LOS ANGELES -- Austin Rivers played as many minutes as the starters after coach Doc Rivers saw what his son was doing to disrupt Utahs Joe Johnson.The younger Rivers scored 19 points in 28 minutes, Blake Griffin added 18 and the Los Angeles Clippers routed the Utah Jazz 88-75 in their home opener Sunday.Jamal Crawford had 12 points, and DeAndre Jordan had 16 rebounds despite spraining his right thumb .George Hill led the Jazz with 18 points and reserve Dante Exum added 10.

Thats when Rivers came off the bench.I honestly didnt think we would go with him that early with Joe, Doc Rivers said. He actually was very effective on Joe because Joe had it going and once he got it going, we figured throw Austin in and see what we can do.The Clippers took the lead for good in the second quarter on Griffins fast-break dunk. It was part of a 22-4 run over both halves that pushed their lead to 49-35. Six different Clippers contributed to the spurt, led by Griffins seven points .Last year we were trying to figure out each other and not get in each others way, the younger Rivers said. Now the group has one goal. Everyone is focused on winning.Rivers scored six of the Clippers first eight points in the fourth, extending their lead to 77-56. The backup was 8 of 11 from the floor.The Jazz never got a sustained run going in the second half. Two free throws by Exum drew them within eight late in the third, the closest they came in the half.I dont think we played well offensively, our defense kept us in the game for a while, but some of our better players struggled, Utah coach Quin Snyder said.TIP-INSJazz: F Gordon Hayward, who averaged 28.3 point, 8.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists against the Clippers lasst season, sat out his third straight game with a broken finger on his left hand.

He returned midway through the fourth and got one rebound after getting hurt.I was worried because I saw the swelling, the elder Rivers said. Lets just hope its OK.Paul was concerned, too, calling Jordan the most durable guy in our league.Jordan will have an X-ray.NBA DEBUTUtahs Joel Bolomboy made his NBA debut with one rebound, one assist and one turnover in four minutes. He didnt take a shot.
