Devendra Jhajharias gold in the javelin throw F46 category at the Rio Paralympics overshadowed the controversy around his fellow athlete Sundar Singh Gurjars disqualification from the event.Three Indians were to compete in the event: Jhajharia, Rinku Hooda (who finished fifth with a personal best of 54.39m) and Gurjar. But Gurjar, among the favourites to win, didnt start the event.According to a report on TV channel NDTVs website, Gurjar was not present at the time of roll call. His family claimed he did not understand English when his name was called out.All athletes were warming up in the same area, including Sundar, Paralympic Committee of India vice-president Gursharan Singh told NDTV. Names of all athletes are announced multiple times for them to get to the competition area. We dont know what happened with him: was he concentrating too much on his warm-up that he missed out on the actual competition?Some other reports said Gurjar had a photographer taking his photographs, thought he was to go where the photographer was heading and lost his way. Three calls are made for the athletes and he went missing at the second call. By the time Gurjar turned up, he was two minutes past the third call and was disqualified.Both of us had travelled by the same bus to the venue, Jhajharia told the Times of India. He moved to the other side of the field for warm-up. When our names were called, Rinku and I went in, but Sundar wasnt there. He tried to rush in, but at the time of the final call he was around 150m away.Rajesh Tomar, a vice-president of the Asian Paralympic Committee, told the Hindu: What I have learnt from other people is that he did not report on time, which I cannot digest because Sundar has been an able-bodied athlete and has been throwing 70m consistently. He said the coach, the manager and the chef-de-mission should be held responsible.Gurjar, 20, had lost an arm in an accident in 2015. He won the best sportsman award at the National Championships this year. Clearance College Basketball Jerseys .

BARCELONA, Spain -- Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann are fit to play Saturdays Spanish capital derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.While Benzema is Madrids top choice to accompany Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in attack, Griezmanns importance to Atletico is paramount.Griezmann has scored eight goals for his club this season and should join Yannick Carrasco and Kevin Gameiro in attack for Atleticos home match. He was doubtful because of a foot knock picked up while playing for France until Atleticos team doctors cleared him after Fridays late practice.I have the good fortune to have a football player (like Griezmann) who wants to keep improving and is as talented as he is, Atletico manager Diego Simeone said.Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane picked Benzema, but he didnt reveal if he will start Benzema or place him in the reserves.He is better, and if he is on the squad then he can play, Zidane said.Benzema was in doubt because of a lingering hip problem. He has five goals in 13 appearances this season.Zidane will be without his other pure striker, Alvaro Morata, who injured a hamstring while playing for Spain over the international break.Once the capitals dominant team, Madrid hasnt beaten Atletico in six consecutive league derbies, although it has topped its cross-town rival in two Champions League finals during that stretch.Zidane gave credit to Simeone for transforming Atletico since his arrival midway through the 2011-12 season.Atletico gets better year after year, Zidane said. It has a coach that has changed so many tthings.dddddddddddd. He is doing a phenomenal job. Everybody always says Atletico defends well, but it is so much more than that.Madrid is also in fine form.Madrids defeat to Atletico last February marked the start of a remarkable run for Zidanes side, which hasnt lost in the league since -- a run of 23 matches.Besides Benzema, Madrid will also have back Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric after both recovered from knee problems, although Modric will be without fellow midfielders Toni Kroos and Casemiro due to injuries.Atletico has most of its midfielders, led by playmaker Jorge Koke Resurreccion, to choose from, including Nicolas Gaitan, who has recovered from a leg injury that sidelined him from Argentinas most recent World Cup qualifiers.Madrid leads the league and has a six-point advantage over fourth-place Atletico.But Simeone said that his teams main source of inspiration is the chance to win what will likely be the last derby played at the Vicente Calderon before Atletico moves to its new stadium.What we are focusing on is managing our emotions for what will be the last derby against our eternal rival in our home, Simeone said. Being nine, six or three points behind is not our concern right now. I know our fans will be like they always are. We need our `12th player and I dont need to tell them that.Defending champion Barcelona, which hosts Malaga on Saturday, is in second place two points adrift of Madrid. ' ' '
