RIO DE JANEIRO -- Katie Ledecky set an Olympic record Sunday in her preliminary heat of the womens 400-meter freestyle, falling 0. Brandon Morrow Jersey .34 seconds shy of her own world record with a time of 3 minutes, 58.71 seconds.Ledecky said after posting the second-fastest time in history that she purposely took it out easy.I didnt want to spin my wheels too much, so I just kind of backed off and kept it easy up front, she said. I know thats how I swim my 400 the best, when I can be strong at the end.In Sunday nights final, Ledecky will chase the 3:58.37 she posted two years earlier at Pan Pacific Championships in Australia.I know what my times are, and I have my goals, she said.The next-fastest qualifier was Britains Jazz Carlin, who was more than 4 seconds behind. American Leah Smith posted the third-fastest time in the prelims.Before the prelims, the first individual event of Ledeckys Rio Olympics, her coach, Bruce Gemmell, offered a word of warning to the 19-year-old American.He had to remind me this wasnt a hundred, Ledecky said.The issue had never been something Gemmell had to worry about before. But that changed after Ledecky swam the anchor leg in the final of the 4x100 freestyle relay late Saturday night. Yet she didnt appear to show any lingering effects from that race.Ledecky said she didnt get to bed until around 2:45 a.m. local time. After interviews, a warm-down swim and a massage, she stayed to eat at the Aquatics Center with food prepared by one of her favorite chefs from the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She said she slept until around 11 a.m. before heading to the pool for her 400 free prelim.In that race, she was 0.64 seconds behind her world-record pace at the halfway point before narrowing the gap to 0.03 seconds with 50 meters to go. As the raucous Brazilian crowd cheered her on, Ledecky couldnt quite finish the job.On Sunday night, the result could be different.Thats the easiest its felt in the 400, so Im excited for tonight, she said.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Babe Herman Jersey . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. Kenley Jansen Jersey .4 million title. Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King. http://www.baseballdodgersprostore.com/dodgers-hyun-jin-ryu-jersey/ . The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. DALLAS -- Johnny Manziel has a dismissal agreement with prosecutors that will require the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback to meet conditions for a year before being cleared of a domestic violence charge against him.Dallas County District Attorneys Office spokeswoman Brittany Dunn said Manziel wasnt present Friday when the agreement was filed.The former Cleveland player will be required to complete an anger management class, attend a domestic violence impact panel and participate in the NFLs substance-abuse program or something similar.Manziel, who turns 24 Tuesday, faced a misdemeanor charge that carried a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine after the former Cleveland player was accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley during a night out in January.As with previous court orders, the former Texas A&M star will not be allowed to have contact with Crowley under the agreement.If the undersigned defendant fails to meet one of the requirements of this agreement or is charged with a new offense, the defendant will be prosecuted for this offense, the agreement states.Prosecutors said the agreement with Manziel was far from the end of its process.A conditional dismissal is only the beginning of the process of educating an individual on how to make better choices when facing conflict, prosecutors said. It is an important first step for a defendant. Success or failure will depend upon ones commitment to the treatment programs included.Judge Roberto Canas said at a hearing last month that the sides had reached a tentative deal. Canas had required Manziel to attend a hearing to finalize the agreement, but it was postponed Thursday so court personnel could attend the funeral of a bailiff.Im thankful to both the court and prosecutor for their hard work and diligence in trying to come to a fair and just resolution for all parties involved, MManziel attorney Jim Darnell said. Yasiel Puig Jersey. My client is pleased to be able to put this part of the situation behind him and is eager to satisfy the terms of the agreement.Manziel, a free agent who hasnt signed with a team since the Browns released him in March, served a four-game suspension this season for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy. He remains under review of the leagues domestic policy, which could include a six-game suspension under guidelines that were toughened after the NFL was criticized for its handling of Ray Rices domestic case.Manziels agreement is similar to one that star Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant successfully completed following a domestic incident involving his mother in 2012.Cleveland took the dazzling dual-threat quarterback 22nd overall in the 2014 draft, and the Browns cut him after two tumultuous seasons marked by inconsistent play and off-the-field headlines about his partying and drinking, including one stint in rehab. Since the 2015 season ended, Manziel has been dumped by two agents after both demanded a second trip to rehab.The allegations stem from a night out on Jan. 30. Crowley said Manziel accosted her at a Dallas hotel, a confrontation that continued downstairs to the valet station. She said he forced her into a car and a valet disregarded her pleas for help.The two eventually drove to where her car was parked in front of a Dallas bar, she said in an affidavit. She said Manziel got into the drivers seat and began to drive. Crowley said Manziel stopped when she tried to jump out of the car, but then he dragged her back inside and hit her.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' '
