For Sir Bradley Wiggins, finishing second is just first loser.The seven-time Olympic medallist has admitted anything less than gold in the Rio velodrome will leave him gutted as he prepares for the qualifying round of the mens team pursuit on Thursday.Britain are the reigning Olympic champions in the event after claiming gold in London with a new world record, but were pipped to the world title this year by old foes Australia.Wiggins is already the owner of four Olympic golds, and is a veteran of the same number of Games after his first appearance at Sydney 2000, but he insisted he is still hungry for more -- even at the ripe old age of 36.Im only here because I want to win another gold medal, Wiggins said. Im not here to win a bronze or a silver.The golds are really the only ones that matter when youve got as many as I have. Thats just the reality of it. If were all sat in front of you having won silver, you can expect us to be pretty pissed off.Thats why were here, to win a gold medal, and well be gutted if we dont.Wiggins will be joined in the team pursuit quartet by Ed Clancy, Steven Burke and Owain Doull, with Tour de France star Mark Cavendish unlikely to feature unless there is an injury in the line-up.Cavendish, who this year moved to second on the list of Tour de France stage winners, appeared to express frustration at being omitted from the quartet after quitting the Tour early to prepare for Rio.The Manxman will only ride in the omnium as he attempts to claim the Olympic medal that has so far eluded him, but on Tuesday he told Sky Sports: The reason I left the Tour early [is] because of the team pursuit.Brad has been super stressed, he added. He wants to be the hero and all that. Im kind of just doing the omnium stuff now. Thats what I was aiming for the whole time. The team pursuits a bonus to that anyway.Wiggins, however, will be keen to quash any sense of disquiet in the camp as he stressed his belief that it will take another world-beating time to claim gold and keep the Australians at bay.Ive said that its going to take a world record to win the gold, Wiggins said. We dont have to mince our words, weve always realised that its going to take [3 minutes] 50 [seconds] or a sub-50 to win. Thats the bar weve set ourselves.Im sure the Aussies are thinking that way as well. Thats what brings world records, when youve got eight of the worlds best team pursuiters pushing each other on the track.Despite the apparent grumbles from Cavendish, Wiggins insisted he has never experienced working in a team like the 2016 edition. And thats coming from an Olympian who has won team pursuit gold, silver, and bronze, in Beijing, Athens, and SydneyFrom a group perspective, I dont think Ive ever been in a team these last 16 years where everyones as strong as each other, he said. Its reassuring. You just have to do your own individual job, knowing that everyone else is going to do theirs.I wouldnt say its a done deal, but we know what were capable of doing now. If we execute that on an Olympic stage, I know what it should give us.Youre not going in with any doubts. Ive been in [the same place] a few times going into the Olympics on an individual level but being part of a team is different. Ive always said you need four guys to deliver on the day. Its a good place to be.Jakobi Meyers Jersey . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

Michell Burger, a woman who lives on an estate next to Pistorius gated community, said she and her husband were awoken by the screams in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp by shooting four times through a door in his bathroom.One team is coming off a lost weekend. The other is coming off a lost homestand.So things could be salty Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena as the Colorado Avalanche start a four-game road trip against the Nashville Predators in their third meeting in five weeks.While Colorado (9-13-1) finished an 0-4-1 homestand Saturday night with a 3-0 loss to Dallas, Nashville (11-9-4) ate a 4-2 defeat Sunday to Philadelphia, wrapping up an 0-1-1 weekend. Making that more galling was that the Predators blew a 4-1 third-period lead Saturday against New Jersey, losing 5-4 in overtime.A couple of mistakes and two or three minutes cost us (Saturday), Nashville defenseman Roman Josi said. I thought we played a pretty good game and deserved to win (Sunday). Our special teams have got to be better -- on the penalty kill and the power play.The Predators penalty kill, which was flawless at home until giving up the game-tying goal Saturday, coughed up two markers to the Flyers Wayne Simmonds on Sunday. Nashville also failed on two power-play opportunities in the first period and didnt receive another one for the games remainder.It was a 180-degree turnaround from the way most of the season has gone at home, where the Predators were 8-1-1 and outscoring the opposition 39-14 before the third period on Saturday.Everyone needs the points, no matter where you are in the standings, left winger Filip Forsberg said. The inspiration level needs to be higher from the start, and even in the last periods.The Avalanches arrival in town could be the elixir Nashville needs. The PPredators beat Colorado 5-1 and 5-3 last month, which constitute two-thirds of their victories away from Nashville.dddddddddddd.While the Avalanche are 5-5-0 on the road, their upcoming trip might not provide much reason for optimism. Their other stops are Boston, Montreal and Toronto.Just playing horrible hockey, center Nathan MacKinnon said. It starts with us key guys. All of us need to be better.Adding injury to repeated insult, defenseman Erik Johnson suffered a broken fibula after blocking a shot in the second period Saturday night and will miss 6-8 weeks. To replace Johnson, Colorado called up defenseman Cody Goloubef from its AHL affiliate in San Antonio.Whats more, the Avalanche remain without captain Gabriel Landeskog (lower-body injury), who skated at practice Monday and will make the trip but will miss his ninth straight game Tuesday night. Colorado has managed just 49 goals in 22 matches and is putting only 29.2 shots on net per game.We all want to make a difference, but unfortunately were not getting it done, forward Jarome Iginla said.Semyon Varlamov (5-11-0, 3.02) will get the start in net for the Avalanche, while Pekka Rinne (10-5-4, 2.18) figures to get the call for Nashville. Rinne was the NHLs First Star for November but allowed five goals on just 22 shots against New Jersey.This is the last game of a three-game homestand for the Predators, who head to Dallas on Thursday and Arizona on Saturday.
