Cheap Saucony Shoes Store .The 18-year-old upstaged world No.1 and teammate Cameron McEvoy to be second fastest in the 100m freestyle semifinals on Tuesday night.He trailed only the man who denied Australia 100m gold at London - American Nathan Adrian.Few would rule out McEvoy as a chance to become the first Australian to claim the 100m Olympic title since Michael Wenden in 1968.But few have seen anything quite like Chalmers before, either.After setting a junior world record to be fastest in the heats, Chalmers backed up hours later to shatter the mark again by clocking 47.88 seconds.The time would have won silver at the 2015 world titles in Russia.Defending champion Adrian bounced back from an ordinary heat that almost cost him a semifinal spot by topping the timesheets in 47.83.McEvoy was third fastest in 47.93.In a repeat of his heat, Chalmers was well behind at the 50m turn but again flicked the switch to win his semifinal comfortably.Thats how I swim. I swim to my strengths, and my strength is my back-end, Chalmers said.But I probably didnt expect to get through to the final, especially in that time.Plenty of pressure will now be on Chalmers and McEvoy to end Australias 100m drought at the Olympics.Something Eamon Sullivan and James Magnussen could not do despite entering the last two Olympics as red hot favourites respectively.But instead of dreaming of history, the mild mannered Chalmers simply wanted a good nights sleep.Asked about his chances, Chalmers said: I am probably trying to wind down, block it out of my mind completely, otherwise I will be up all night.McEvoy arrived at Rio as the red hot favourite after clocking 47.04 at Aprils Rio trials - the third fastest of all time and quickest outside a supersuit.But Chalmers blistering speed at his first Olympics has ensured the form guide will be thrown out the window in Wednesday nights final.At least McEvoy wont have to worry about the man who denied him 2015 world titles 100m gold.Chinas Ning Zetao (12th, 48.37) failed to make the final.Meanwhile,?Australias Emma McKeon won bronze in the 200m freestyle final behind Americas?Katie Ledecky and?Swedens Sarah Sjostrom

A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. PITTSBURGH -- With the Chicago Cubs supposedly fine-tuning things for postseason form, ace Jake Arrieta was roughed up by the Pittsburgh Pirates in an 8-4 loss Wednesday night.Pirates first baseman John Jaso hit for the cycle and Arrieta (18-8) gave up seven runs and 10 hits -- both season-highs -- in five innings. But manager Joe Maddon said there isnt cause for concern that the Cubs starter wont be able to right the ship come October.That was probably the best strike-throwing I have seen out of him, Maddon said. He was throwing very well. Up until the home run by Jaso, theres just a couple singles to the opposite field. That was it. Then, the last inning kind of got away from us too. But he wasnt that bad today. None of it made sense to me.The Pirates hit three consecutive doubles to score three runs in the sixth inning and Jasos three-run home run in the fifth did the majority of the damage.It felt like a spring training game from the get-go, just wasnt crisp and didnt have much working, Arrieta (18-8) said. Thats about it.The Cubs havent made a plan yet for when Arrieta will pitch next. He is not scheduled to make another start this season. Arrieta said it doesnt matter to him when he pitches next, hes just focused on the postseason.Were moving on, he said. I dont like giving up seven runs. Im (mad) about that. but moving forward, everything is fine. . Ill throw sides up here, and whoever I face in the first round, theyre going to be in trouble.Jasos triple in the seventh inning gave him the first cycle in the 16-year history of PNC Park.The triple off reliever Pedro Strop clinched the Pirates first cycle since 2004. The last Pirate to hit for the cycle was Daryle Ward on May 26, 2004, in St. Louis. The last Pirates home cycle was by Jason Kendall on May 19, 2000, against the Cardinals at Three Rivers Stadium.Jaso isnt exactly a typical candidate for the cycle. He has neither prodigious power nor speed, as he hit just his seventh home run and third triple of the season. Jaso didnt even realize what had happened until he had already performed the feat.It didntt really dawn on me until I was standing on the base, he said.

I was looking at (third base coach Rick) Sofield and it finally just hit me.Against Arrieta, Jaso singled in the second inning, hit a three-run home run in the fourth and doubled in the fifth.Its just a great memory to have, Jaso said. You dont really want to take this blessing for granted being here.Pirates starter Jameson Taillon (5-4) allowed one hit and struck out four in six innings.Chicagos Anthony Rizzo hit a solo homer, his 32nd of the season.OH, CANADAThe Pirates announced that they will play a two-game preseason series in Montreal against the Toronto Blue Jays March 31 and April 1, 2017.
