Kritik und Lob » TO GO, SUM UP YOUR FEELINGS IN T

Rollerblading and jumping off walls is probably not the safest preparation for an Olympics six months away. They are two activities pole-vaulter Holly Bradshaw loves to get stuck into, but shes resisting the temptation as she plots her domination in Brazil. Having already produced the qualifying mark, the 24-year-old from Preston should be on the plane but its crucial she stays fit after a number of niggling injuries.So how will the Sky Academy Sports Scholar spend the next few months? What other hobbies is she avoiding ahead of the Olympics?Here are Hollys thoughts..... 1. WITH SIX MONTHS TO GO, SUM UP YOUR FEELINGS IN THREE WORDSExcited. Focused. Determined.2. WHO IS YOUR OLYMPIC HERO AND WHY?I started focusing on pole vault in October 2008, straight after the Beijing Olympics where I watched many British athletes competing and doing well.I wasnt inspired by one performance in particular, I was just inspired by all of it. Watching everyone competing for their country and being in the big stadium looked amazing and thats when I knew I wanted to try to do it for myself. Holly impressed at last summers World Championships in Beijing 3. WHAT DOES THE OLYMPICS TRULY MEAN TO YOU?It means the world. Just to be at an Olympics is a massive honour. Representing your county at the highest possible level is such a privilege. To be at my second Olympics would be amazing.4. WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION?Utter commitment to your sport. Displaying the right attitude at all times whether at training or at home. An Olympic champion does all the right things it takes to become the ultimate champion. 5. WHAT ARE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS YOU WILL PACK FOR BRAZIL?My poles, glue and my coach Scott Simpson, of course.6. THERE ARE AROUND 268,000 MINUTES BEFORE RIO. WHAT ARE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR YOU IN THAT TIME?Staying healthy and injury free.Enjoying every minute and making sure Im having fun along the way. Its such a privilege to get the chance to be at an Olympics so you need to make sure you are enjoying yourself and not getting beat down with all the pressure and expectation.Making sure every minute counts. If Im about to do something that isnt going to help my in my preparations for Rio then I just dont do it. It stops me doing anything stupid - which Im partial to.I love playing tennis, I love rollerblading (Im not allowed to do it though) and jumping off walls! I just do wild stuff like that without thinking! Hollys coach Scott Simpson is on her list of most important things to pack for Rio! 7. HOW DO YOU TRY TO STAY CALM WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE OLYMPICS?I just stay focused on what I need to do and not think too much about the Olympics. You just need to try to see it as any other competition as getting worked up about it can be so detrimental.I focus on a day at a time - what training I have to do, what I need to focus on during the session, making sure Im doing everything right away from the track,That way I know Im doing everything I can and wont have any regrets.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS..............JAN 16 - MARCH 5: Siobhan-Marie OConnor, AustraliaFEB 3-5: Jack Bateson, Bocskai tournament in HungaryFEB 3: Mark English, racing in Dusseldorf FEB 4: Rio Olympics - 6 months to goFEB 6-7: Elise Christie, World Cup in DresdenFEB 13-19: Quillan Isidore, training camp in Zolder, Belgium Also See: About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries JJ Redick Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.

MINNEAPOLIS -- After his missed extra point and blocked field goal again made him a subject of postgame intrigue following the Minnesota Vikings 22-16 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions?on Sunday, kicker Blair Walsh voiced his exasperation to the reporters at his locker.Its not that Im frustrated with you. Its just, you guys have got to understand, what do you want the answer to be? Walsh said. I want to be there for my team. Of course I want to make it. But come on. You guys ask the same questions every week -- Did you make it? Why didnt it go in? I mean, if I had the answer right away, Id tell you. Im confident in what Im doing. I know that Im going to be fine. But its tough right now.The kickers third-quarter extra point attempt ricocheted off the upright instead of tying the game at 10 in the third quarter, and Walsh had a 46-yard field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter with the Vikings down by a point. He has now missed three extra points this season, the most in the NFL. Walsh, who came into the game tied for 18th in the league in field goal percentage, has now made 12 of his 16 field goal attempts this season.Asked to explain what happened on the two misses, Walsh said, They didnt go in, man. I mean, you watched it. When asked if the extra point felt good coming off his foot, Walsh said, I mean, obviously not. It didnt go in, right? I mean, you guys are going to ask me this question a million times. Did it feel good? Did I make it? No, I didnt. Do I have to? Yes. Do I want to? Yes. I mean, if youve got something else, please. Seriously.Later, when asked whhat he saw on the field goal attempt that Tyrunn Walker blocked, Walsh said.dddddddddddd I probably did not hit it well enough. I mean, you can never know until you watch film, but I probably did not hit it well enough, and did not get it over the line. So thats my fault, and I need to come through for my team there. When asked if the kick was too low, Walsh said, Its hard to tell, but that would be my guess.The Vikings were down by four when coach Mike Zimmer decided to go for it on fourth down from the Lions 5 midway through the fourth quarter. Zimmer said he felt like the Vikings offense continues to need confidence as they move forward, and while he said it did factor in that [Walsh] missed an extra point in there, he added, That really wasnt it. ... I was prepared to get a field goal, but it was so close that I figured [Id go for it]. Points for us are hard to come by -- at least they were in the beginning of the ballgame.The Vikings signed Walsh to a four-year contract extension in July 2015, but the kicker struggled at the beginning of the 2015 season before missing a 27-yard field goal attempt at the end of the Vikings NFC wild-card playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The team has continued to stand by Walsh, and players backed the kicker in the locker room Sunday. Asked where he stands now with Walsh, Zimmer said, I dont know. Well see. Im not going to make any evaluations right now. Todays not the day to be making any evaluations. ' ' '
