RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Luik triplets have already encountered some strange looks at the Olympics.The Estonian sisters, who will compete in the womens marathon, say they have gotten some funny faces from security guards who believe they have already waved one of them into the athletes village.On Sunday, Olympic spectators will face the challenge of trying to tell the 30-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed sisters apart from afar.Their coach, Harry Lemberg, had some advice for those who cant read the bibs.I think the first part of the race, Leila and Lily run together, Lemberg said. After 25-30 kilometers they follow together or see who is (to) go in front ... I think Liina (will be) a little bit behind.While the Olympics have seen twins competing together, triplets are a first, according to Olympic historian Bill Mallon, who keeps a database of athletes.According to Lily, it is Leila who is maybe the toughest of the trio.But Liina is the easiest to spot when her arms arent covered because she has a three-swan tattoo which, naturally, symbolizes the three of them.Its an amazing feeling, I think its better to run with sisters, Liina said. I feel good support, a mentally good vibe and good energy from my sisters also.I think I have two supporters in the race. We are supporting each other very much and I think we feel that kind of energy with each other.The Luiks, from the medieval city of Tartu, only turned pro at the relatively late age of 24.We saw that we cant now ... do the shorter distances, to do so much speed work, Leila said. We love to be (with) nature or do the long training and we love running. Because of (that) we decided to do marathon running.The dream would be finishing on the podium together in Rio de Janeiro but they know that is unlikely.We are happy, Leila said, if we finish together.Nike Shoes Sale .

Cheap Nike Shoes .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.James Hinchcliffe is one of the most personable -- and marketable -- drivers in the IndyCar Series. Hes been a natural fit for the star-strapped series in every promotional opportunity presented, yet he is far from a household name.The popular Canadian will now step on the biggest stage yet in an effort to show if he can dance. Hinchcliffe will participate in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars even though this is not something that is exactly in his wheelhouse.If theres something below amateur, Hinchcliffe said of his dancing skills, it would be that.Hinchcliffe will be the second IndyCar driver to dance on the ABC hit. Helio Castroneves won the show in 2007, but did not receive enough fan votes to advance deep into a 2015 all-star edition.On a show that relies on popularity as much as it does dancing skills, moving through the first few weeks could be challenging.That was no deterrent to Hinchcliffe, who returned for his sixth season in IndyCar this year after a near-fatal accident 15 months ago. Hinchcliffe was practicing for the Indianapolis 500 when his thigh was pierced by a broken piece of car during a wreck. He nearly bled to death as he was hustled into life-saving surgery. Hinchcliffe needed most of last year to recover, and the experience taught him to enjoy the present moment.One of those lessons is to take opportunities, not shy away from things, dont be afraid, he said. Youve got to kind of live your life. This is one of those things that might not have ever come around again, and it is outside my comfort zone, so it was certainly not a decision I took lightly, but I think ultimately we made the right choice to be a part of it, and Im looking forward to getting started.With two races left in his comeback season, Hinchcliffe is eighth in the IndyCar standings. He nearly won last Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway but was passed on the last lap.The end of the season gives Hinchcliffe a chance to learn how to dance. He practiced Tuesday and Wednesday in Indianapolis with DWTS partner Sharna Burgess, but hes off to upstate New York for this weekends race at Watkins Glen.He also has the season finale in Sonoma, California, on Sept. 18. Once the season is over, he will relocate to Los Angeles if he advances on the show.Hinchcliffe is hoping for a lengthy run, not just for his own brand, but for the potential growth of IndyCar.This kind of thing, sure, it benefits me personally, but it also benefits the sport, he said. Ive always said from day onee that anything that I can do outside of a race car to help grow the sport of IndyCar racing is something you can sign me up for because Ive got such a passion for this sport.dddddddddddd.---RPM REORGANIZATIONRichard Petty Motorsports has released vice president of operations Sammy Johns in an organizational restructuring to jumpstart a struggling team.RPM heads into the 25th race of the Sprint Cup Season without a driver in the top 20 in points.
