MORE: Rio 2016 Olympics medal design unveiled Lochte failed to qualify in the 400-meter individual medley Sunday at U.S. Olympic swimming trials, an event he dominated four years ago. He built a sizable lead during the first two legs of the event but fell behind in the breaststroke and freestyle to finish third. Chase Kalisz swam 4 minutes, 9.541 seconds to win and Jay Litherland (4:11.021) finished second. Both will compete in their first Olympics at this summer’s Rio Games....

Jordan and St. John’s came to a mutual decision to part ways after it was determined that he would be ruled academically ineligible to play during the fall semester, according to a release from the school.

The main aim of the tournament is to reach out to hundreds of thousands of cricket lovers in Rajasthan and try to encourage the participation of people from all age groups. The hope is that getting more people to play will help young players such that their confidence and morale is boosted and they are encouraged to take up the game in the future. “The tournament is aimed at providing the best facilities to the players at the grassroots level....

India defeated hosts Nepal 74 – 41 to win it’s third match of the championship. Hosts Nepal put on excellent display to restrict India to 74 points. Prakash Mishra netted 17 points for India while Binod Maharjan netted 13 points for Nepal. In another match on day 4, Sri Lanka defeated Maldives. The winner of this championship will represent SABA in the FIBA Asia Cup tentatively scheduled for mid-July in Wuhan (China)....

West Indies legend Clive Lloyd was too harsh when he said the Caribbean unit looked drunk in the two Tests which they lost by an innings, but Bedi was a little charitable in saying the feared team of yesteryears looked out of sorts. “It was a shambolic performance to say the least. They were not able to put up any fight. I am sure many like me would have liked to see a good contest in Sachin’s farewell game....

Having posted a massive 526 in their first innings, Rest of India picked up 6 Mumbai wickets for just 257, but they weren’t able to dismiss the master blaster on Day 3. In his second hundred during the the Irani Cup, Tendulkar smashed 12 fours and two sixes as he reached the milestone in 139 balls. Indian players like Harbhajan Singh and S Sreeshanth tried their best to get rid of the master blaster....

The launch trailer shows off many of the game’s features, with a focus on platforming and hand-crafted levels. With new perspectives and camera angles for players to explore, as well as Sackboy: A Big Adventure running at 60 FPS, the game looks far different from the LittleBigPlanet series. Level creation and a lack of focus on creativity will be missed by many, but Sackboy’s transition to a new genre may prove worthwhile based on this trailer....

After Sacramento State and Weber State finished regulation tied, 60-60, the teams duked it out in an overtime that featured three technical fouls and one insane buzzer-beater. Those technical fouls, which were called in the final minute, resulted in Sacramento State taking a three-point lead. Weber State's Davion Berry hit a 3-pointer with one second left to tie the game and presumably send it to a second overtime. But then Dylan Garrity grabbed the inbounds pass, took one dribble, and let it fly....

Erekat was secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and was chief negotiator in the U.S.-brokered peace talks with Israel that collapsed in 2014. He was a vehement critic of Israel’s settlement policy on occupied land which he said undermined the chances for a viable Palestine. Erekat held the title of chief Palestinian negotiator and was involved in nearly every round of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians going back to the landmark Madrid conference in 1991...

But that negativity seeps into other areas of our life, too, and it clouds our ability to digest truth. Everything has to be run through a skepticism filter that grows thicker by the day. So I understand. When you hear 10-second sound bites on MLB Network, ESPN or your local TV station of professional baseball players talking about how their hearts go out to the folks affected by the devastation in Houston, I understand the impulse to think, “Yeah, whatever millionaire dude who plays a game for a living....

A SafeMoon enthusiast recently tweeted an interview clip of Zhao, in which he said: “If a coin has a large number of users, then we’ll list it. “If you have a coin that’s popular and everyone’s chasing it, the exchange has no choice but to list it. So it’s not like we decide what to list.” SafeMoon’s development team last week announced listings on the Mandala and MXC cryptocurrency exchanges, but so far the token has not been listed on any of the top three major exchanges....

As part of a live-streamed celebration for the launch of SaGa Frontier, Famitsu was able to confirm with Square Enix’s Akitoshi Kawazu that more SaGa remasters were going to be made. Kawazu mentions three games specifically. SaGa Frontier 2, the direct sequel to SaGa Frontier, is one of the games. Romancing SaGa, an older JRPG made for the Super Nintendo and from which SaGa Frontier was created, is the second game named....

The 33-year-old surpassed former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had claimed nine dismissals in a Test match against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in 2014. He achieved the feat on the fourth day of the match. Saha took 10 catches – five in each South African innings – to take his number of dismissals to 85, which includes 10 stumpings. He also eclipsed Farokh Engineer’s record of 82 dismissals to become the fifth most successful Indian wicketkeeper...

The sight of the Armenia captain - who continued his recent fine form with a smartly taken goal from Juan Mata’s cross - departing before the half hour with an apparent hamstring problem was far from welcome with Sunday’s EFL Cup final against Southampton on the horizon. Mourinho’s scope for tactical substitutions with an eye on that Wembley date was further limited when centre-back Eric Bailly was booked for two fouls on Romain Hamouma in the space of three needlessly rash minutes in the second-half....

Saint-Etienne battled blizzard-like conditions in the Rhone-Alpes region to move fourth in Ligue 1 following a 4-1 weather-interrupted win over Montpellier on Saturday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted his 11th goal of the campaign as further strikes from Brandao, Yohan Mollo and Mathieu Bodmer extended Saint-Etienne’s winning streak to four in a match delayed for 45 minutes due to heavy snowfall. “I find it scandalous,” said Montpellier coach Rene Girard of referee Philippe Kalt’s decision to ultimately let the match run its course....

The Nintendo Switch has plenty of original games that have proven to be system sellers, but it has also slowly been building an impressive catalogue of remasters and ports to help keep players busy during those long stretches between Nintendo exclusives. Fans of the Saints Row franchise should be excited to learn that one of the best installments in the series is on its way to the portable Nintendo console....
