whether Fifita would be available for selection, as were

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Will Claye kept a close watch on his backpack while he competed in the Olympic triple jump.With good reason: It had a diamond ring in it.Moments after earning a silver medal Tuesday, Claye bounded into the stands, dropped to a knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend, hurdler Queen Harrison.She said yes.A medal and a marriage proposal -- now thats quite a day.When I woke up this morning I was like, `Today is going to be the best day of my life, said Claye, who finished behind good friend Christian Taylor, as the two Americans went 1-2 for a second straight Summer Games. Im going to go out there and do what I have to do on the track first and I am going to make her my fiancee after that.Claye said his focus was only on the competition, even given the surprise he was about to spring. It had to be that way to keep up with Taylor, who jumped 17.86 meters on his first attempt -- a distance that held up. Claye went 17.76 and Chinas Dong Bin jumped 17.58 for bronze.Taylor and Claye have had a robust rivalry for years after being teammates at the University of Florida.Its just who executes on that day better, Claye said. Were equally talented.On the track, the stage belonged to Taylor. Afterward, Claye took it over.Claye climbed up a railing and was helped up a wall. It was a complete surprise to Taylor where Claye was going, but the champion was impressed that Claye had anything left to even climb into the stands.I turned around and saw him over there and everyones saying, `Aww, Taylor said. The camera zoomed in and I saw what was going on.There was the 25-year-old Claye, who, unbeknownst to everyone but two of Harrisons closest friends, was dropping to a knee. His family was just as shocked.They were like, `Man, youre slick, Claye said. No one knew. It was pretty cool.Only two days earlier, Chinas He Zi had the silver medal slipped around her neck when her boyfriend pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him. Last week, after a rugby match, the girlfriend of Brazilian player Isadora Cerullo went down to the field and asked Cerullo to marry her. Another proposal happened at race walking.Claye made Harrison cry with his impromptu proposal.I told her she was my best friend. I told her she was my rib. I told her I want to grow old with her, Claye recounted. I want her to be by my side for the rest of my life. Shes helped me to grow into the man I am today.Claye had the ring designed before Olympic trials earlier this summer, but had no idea when -- or even how -- he was going to ask her. Rio de Janeiro seemed like as good of place as any.Harrison was in the stands after not qualifying at the Olympic trials. But she wanted to be there for Claye. She wore her Will Power T-shirt. It looked good with the diamond. Vapormax 97 Sale .

Nike Vapormax Clearance . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. All eyes in rugby league are on whether the ARL Commission will rubber-stamp the selection of polarising Cronulla hero Andrew Fifita when the Kangaroos name their Four Nations squad on Tuesday.The squad was due to be announced on Monday, however the NRL has now opted to postpone the naming to Tuesday to allow the Sharks extra time in the spotlight.Fifita will forever be remembered as the man who delivered the Sharks their maiden NRL premiership after powering over for the match-winning try in Sundays thrilling grand final win.He was controversially overlooked for the prestigious Clive Churchill medal despite finishing the night against Melbourne with 191 metres from 23 carries, 11 tackle busts and 30 tackles.But the only statistic that mattered was the clutch four points he came up with after rival front-rower and New Zealand international Jesse Bromwich got the Storm back into the contest.To be in this squad that won the first ever grand final for the Cronulla Sharks and to score the last try is just amazing,. I have my ring now, Fifita said post-game.Im stoked we have created history and at the end of the day I had the final say.Sharks coach Shane Flanagan said Fifita made it a personal mission to take it to Bromwich.The opposition front-rower Jesse Bromwich is one of the best front-rowers in the game. Andrew knew he had to stand up against him, he said.When (Bromwich) did score the try I think Andrew said, Well, Ive got to do something about it. And he went up the other end of the field and did something about it.However, mystery suurrounds Fifitas possible selection for Australia given the NRL has yet to decide whether to punish the Sharks star for his support of one-punch killer Kieran Loveridge.ddddddddddddThe leagues integrity units investigation has dithered for more than six weeks.Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga recently admitted he was unsure whether Fifita would be available for selection, as were Flanagan and Fifita himself.I havent even thought about it. If its meant to be, its meant to be, Fifita said.Ive never let that jersey down. I played in all six games at the World Cup and never let the team down. To get an Australian jersey back would be a massive honour.Flanagan also nominated skipper Paul Gallen to be retained after his man-of-the-match effort for the Kangaroos last-start, as well as courageous centre Jack Bird.Bird played the entire grand final despite picking up a suspected broken arm in the first half. James Maloney and Wade Graham could also earn higher honours.I know Gal would love to be going, hes got plenty of pride in the jersey, Flanagan said.We dont know whats wrong with (Birds) arm but he hurt it pretty badly and probably shouldve come off. Hes a chance. Whether they pick Andrew or not - Andrews got to deal with some other things but hes definitely good enough on football ability.For Melbourne, Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith are certainties, while Will Chambers will also have strong claims on a centre berth.
