RIO DE JANEIRO -- Australia swimming coach Jacco Verhaeren has dismissed calls for dramatic changes after a series of below-par performances from his athletes in the Rio pool.Speaking at a post-meet news conference, Verhaeren was flanked by Australias five individual medal winners in the pool. But the absence of pre-Game favourites Cate Campbell and Cameron McEvoy loomed large after an Olympics that returned just three golds and 10 medals overall, well below expectations.Campbell, who finished a disappointing sixth in her 100m freestyle final having broken the Olympic record in the heats and semifinal, said it was the biggest choke in Olympics history. She put it down to letting her imagination run away a little bit. McEvoys fourth-place finish in the mens 100m freestyle final was stage fright, according to Verhaeren.While the two pre-Olympics medal favourites were off the pace when it mattered most, Verhaeren paid tribute to the role they played in the team events -- they saved us in the relays, he said -- but the mood felt subdued for a Games that promised so much.Swimming Australia will not be ripping up the blueprint and starting again -- this after almost AUS$40m of taxpayers money was invested over four years into the programme -- but they will be learning lessons.Individual medallists differed in their approaches to handling the pressure. Emma Mckeon, who took bronze in the 200m freestyle and gold and two silvers in relays, said she didnt know what to expect ahead of the Games.But she then turned to her brother, David, who competed at London, and her two-time Olympian father Ron Mckeon for guidance. They warned her about the stresses she would face, and she targeted her management of them as a point of difference.Madeline Groves, who took silver in the 200m butterfly and 4x100m medley relay, absorbed every bit of information and advice Michael Bohl gave on how to cope with the mental rigours of the Games.Mens 200m backstroke silver-medal winner Mitch Larkin drew on his experience from the Kazan World Championships, Ian Thorpes address at the pre-Olympics camp and spent the whole time in the pool imagining he was back in Brisbane. Mack Horton, who won gold in the 400m freestyle, put his calmness down to being a little bit na?ve and embraced the bubble-like nature of the Olympic Village to block out external distractions.And then there was mens 100m freestyle victor Kyle Chalmers wonderfully unique approach: I didnt feel under pressure at all, I flew under the radar. I didnt have to do any media leading into the Games and felt pressure at the trials being in front of my home crowd a lot more than I did here.I felt comfortable having Cam there in trials and didnt know any of the other guys really as I dont follow swimming a whole lot and I think enjoyment meant come the final I just gave it my all.Vermaelen listened to all and following Chalmers answer, gave his take on pressure: It seems sometimes ignorance is a blessing and thats good. Of course you would like that approach but it shows what champions are made of and Ive been privileged to meet a few of those.We wont make dramatic changes in what we do but the examples of sit here next to me that whenever you do trials, with whatever format, it comes down to race day.Theres no systematic approach that can change that fact. Of course we will review, look for improvements but its not like the swimming on the day doesnt change, so thats what we need to look at.One area Verhaeren will dissect is whether their plan of holding their Olympic trials four months before the Games, as opposed to the U.S. swimming teams decision to have theirs just six weeks before Rio, needs to be changed but it will be a case of tweaking the programme rather than a root and branch overhaul.Kitty Chiller, Australias chef du mission, said before the Games the Australian swimming team normally make up a third of their gold medal total, one projected at 15 or 16 here in Rio. She spoke of how individual swimming potential was converted in some areas, but not others and admitted the Australia Olympic Committee targeted four or five or more gold medals and the swimming team came to Rio with high expectations.Talk of expectation and targets seemed to irk Larkin, saying that it wasnt the publics role to set medal targets for the athletes, but above all of this talk of falling short in individual medal targets looms the form of Michael Phelps.Perhaps that is the key differential and there is a feeling that come Tokyo 2020, with these athletes having learnt from their experiences here in Rio and the odd tweak here and there behind the scenes then they will be going outstretched arm to arm with the Phelps-less USA side.We swim in a time where Michael Phelps makes it look easy, Larkin said. I finish this week and it hit home how incredibly unique he is and how he has something no one else is able to capture.In a sense it gives the public is not easy to achieve, but is easier than what it definitely is. I hate to talk about expectation, we have our own expectations and its not for the public to decide what our expectations are in the pool.For me, it was a tough week and to be honest when I stood on that medal podium in the 200m backstroke, I didnt mind I wasnt on the top. It was only a couple of minutes later when the womens freestyle were in the water and it made me realise how lucky I was to secure a medal.And yeah, were here at a time when Phelps is around and theres [Katie] Ledecky as well. Theyre incredible athletes. The U.S. have something special and we want to replicate it and learn as much as possible as well. Once Phelps retires well see if theres someone who can step up and replicate what hes been able to do for the last 10, 15 years in the pool. Josh Allen Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Jawaan Taylor Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. http://www.cheapjaguarsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-ben-koyack-jersey . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Jalen Ramsey Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. James OShaughnessy Jersey . The 18th player to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his 15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the bogey-free round. LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Lamar Jackson lost the ball, No. 11 Louisville lost the game to rival Kentucky and it remains to be seen how it all will impact the Heisman Trophy race that once belonged to the Cardinals quarterback just a few weeks ago.The Louisville sophomore had a record-setting day on Saturday, even striking a spontaneous Heisman pose following a game-tying touchdown midway through the fourth quarter before all that jubilation turned to disappointment after a 41-38 loss. Jackson didnt want to talk about the Heisman after the game, instead focusing on his team was trying to digest another mistake-filled loss.This loss is gonna be hard, Jackson said. Its our rival. Our seniors didnt go out right.Kentuckys seniors are going out on a high note.Austin MacGinnis 47-yard field goal with 12 seconds remaining gave the Wildcats the upset, an unexpected turnaround after Jackson was driving the Cardinals toward a go-ahead score late in the game. Jacksons fumble at Kentuckys 10 was recovered by the Wildcats Courtney Love with 1:45 left. Stephen Johnson then led Kentucky (7-5) downfield and into position for MacGinnis game-winning kick that ended Kentuckys five-game losing streak in the series.I had great confidence in him, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said of MacGinnis. I was numb. I just wanted to finish it.Jacksons desperation heave as time expired from deep in Louisville territory was intercepted by Mike Edwards, his second pick of the game, and set off a wild celebration among the Wildcats and their fans.MacGinnis might have been the happiest Wildcat, having earlier saved Kentuckys season with a 51-yard kick to beat Mississippi State . This one provided the programs first seven-win season since 2009.As soon as we got that fumble I knew my team was going to give me a chance, said MacGinnis, who also kicked a 35-yarder. I cant give enough love to my snapper and holder.Jackson likely could have wrapped up the Heisman with his record-setting day, but a second consecutive loss could impact the race. Jacksons day included three interceptions -- one of which was converted into a touchdownn -- and his late fumble led to the game-winning kick.ddddddddddddLouisville running back Brandon Radcliff, however, said this loss was not Jacksons fault.He got us all these wins, Radcliff said. Hes a great player. The competitive spirit hes got, hes always going to put it on himself. Nobody in this locker room believes this (loss) is on Lamar.Jackson tallied his school-record eighth 100-yard rushing game and broke the Louisville season mark for rushing yards. His four touchdowns also broke the Atlantic Coast Conference single-season record (he has 51), but the Cardinals (9-3) were left wondering what might have been -- again.Sometimes in this game, you find ways to win and sometimes you find ways to lose games, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. I certainly feel like we found a way to lose that game. Give Kentucky credit.POLL IMPLICATIONSLouisville will likely drop again in the poll with its second straight loss, the question may only be how far.THE TAKEAWAYKentucky: Stephen Johnsons season-long success with deep post passes continued in the first half with TDs that kept the Cardinals on their heels. His touchdown passes covered 75 and 63 yards to Garrett Johnson and 35 to Dorian Baker. More importantly, he didnt flinch in the clutch, hitting key passes and running on Kentuckys final drive. The Wildcats outgained Louisville 581-561.I had a missed throw that couldve sealed the game, said Johnson, who was named the games Most Valuable Player. Im really happy with the offense.Louisville: Jackson accounted for four touchdowns and 452 yards (171 rushing, 281 passing) and broke Howard Stevens 1,429 yards rushing mark in 1971. He also broke the ACC single-season record for TDs accounted for previously held by Clemsons Deshaun Watson. Turnovers, however, were too costly to overcome as Jackson threw three interceptions.U
