The Canadian duo booked their tickets to the 2012 Summer Games after bettering the Olympic standard of two hours 11 minutes 29 seconds Sunday at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Coolsaet finished third in the race with a personal-best time of 2:10.55 while Gillis was fourth, just finishing under the qualification mark with a time of 2:11.28. Canada hasnt had a participant in an Olympic marathon since Bruce Deacon in Sydney in 2000. "I cant believe it was by a second," Gillis said afterwards. "A marathon and one second? "I couldve just as easily been one second over. I feel really, really lucky to get that standard. I couldnt have done it this time last year, I just wasnt in the right frame of mind to go after that. Things are working out well now, things are clicking." Coolsaet posted his time despite having to take a washroom break at about the 25-kilometre mark. "It didnt take too much time but obviously I lost contact with the front pack," he said. "Luckily I had a pacer and clawed my way up the next three kilometres and got myself up with that front pack again." Kenyas Kenneth Mungara won the race for the fourth straight year, posting a time of 2:09.51. Ethiopias Shami Abdulahi Dawit was second. "This was a very good day for me but it was very tough because it was very windy and cold," Mungara said. Ethiopias Koren Yal was the top female finisher in 2:22.43, with compatriot Mare Dibaba second in 2:23.25. Vancouvers Katherine Moore was eighth in 2:48.48. Meanwhile, police said a 27-year-old man died after collapsing while running in the event. He was taken to St. Michaels Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Coolsaet narrowly missed the Canadian record en route to finishing third. The 32-year-old from Hamiltons time was just off the mark of 2:10.09 set by Jerome Drayton in 1975. Draytons 36-year-old record is the oldest on the Canadian track and field record books. "Im really happy to have run a PB in these conditions," Coolsaet said. "I was fortunate enough to have a good pack that I was able to use to block the wind and that really helped me for the first 35-36 kilometres and then I lost it. "I didnt think I was running fast anymore and was just happy to be in third overall at that point. Then I came around the corner and saw the clock and was pleasantly surprised to have run a PB." Gillis said achieving the Olympic standard was foremost in his mind Sunday, but admitted the cool, blustery conditions created doubt in his pre-race thoughts. "Yeah, there were so I had to work on those and get them out as soon as they came in," said Gillis, of Antigonish, N.S. "I kept pushing them out. "I had roomed with Reid the last couple of days and hes a real positive guy to be around and always looks to the bright side ... it wasnt an ideal anything out there and its just a good feeling to get that under my belt." Gillis said despite the weather conditions, he felt very good physically through the first 34 kilometres of the race and was on pace to qualify for London comfortably. But that all changed near the end. "With 300 metres to go, I wasnt sure," he said. "I just knew I had to put my head down and get up on my toes as much as I could. "I saw 27 (2:11.27) when I went under the clock but I dont trust that clock at all and I waited to hear the official time. It took about 10-15 minutes before anyone was able to say it definitively and that was a nice feeling when I did finally hear that." Coolsaet said also having Reid qualify for London will prove beneficial to both runners. "Just the fact that now we can work together for the same marathon again is a huge benefit for both of us," he said. "It works both ways and were really excited to be able to focus on London from here on in." jerseys from china .

Cheap San Antonio Spurs Jerseys . - Gerald Wallace knew exactly when the Portland Trail Blazers had the Los Angeles Lakers beaten.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Maple Leafs try to push their season-opening win streak to three straight games on Saturday night as they play their home opener against the Ottawa Senators. The Maple Leafs, coming off their first postseason appearance since 2004, have begun the campaign with road victories over Montreal and Philadelphia. They were last in action on Wednesday, when they recorded a 3-1 win over the Flyers. Dave Bolland scored twice for the Maple Leafs, his first goals since notching the Cup-clincher for the Chicago Blackhawks last season. He was traded to Toronto in a draft-day deal. Phi Kessel also scored and Jonathan Bernier made 31 saves in his Toronto debut. The Maple Leafs acquired Bernier from the Los Angeles Kings in late June for a pair of players and a draft pick. "He gave us a chance and thats all you can ask," Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle said of Bernier. "We needed a goaltender to keep us in the game and he did that and were fortunate to have him." Saturday could mark the NHL debut of 19-year-old defenseman Morgan Rielly, the fifth overall pick of the 2012 draft. Rielly could be tapped to replace defenseman Mark Fraser, who was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday after suffering a knee injury versus the Flyers. "He plays the game with his head and his legs and his hands," Carlyle said on Friday of his young defenseman. "Hes got all three assets that separates him from other people in his age group. Hes a strong puck mover. He can get the puck through from the point on the power play. Hes got great wheels to get up and down the ice. Hes smart in his reads." The Leafs will also be without the services of forward Nikolai Kulemin. Carlyle said the Russian is expected to be out for two weeks with a chipped bone in his ankle. Cheap Atletico Nacional Jerseys. He sustained the injury in practice yesterday after blocking a shot from captain Dion Phaneuf. The Maple Leafs, who last won three straight to start the season in 2011-12, will play two straight and five of their next six at home. They won both of their home meetings with the Senators a season ago and have taken six of seven and eight of the past 12 encounters overall. Ottawa opened up its season on Friday night with a 1-0 victory over Buffalo, the first stop on a six-game road trip to begin the campaign. The Senators fired 46 shots on net, including 23 in the first period, but didnt solve the Sabres Ryan Miller until Erik Karlssons wrister with 1:35 to play. "A win on the road is a good thing. I thought both goaltenders were obviously outstanding," said Senators head coach Paul MacLean. "I thought there was a lot of loose play, especially by our team. But at the end of the day, we end up winning the game and thats the most important thing. "We have the first game under our belt. Hopefully well get some kinks out and we get to get right back on the horse (Saturday night) and were looking forward to that." Craig Anderson, who was sidelined for a good part of last season due to an ankle injury, made 35 saves to record his 23rd career shutout. "It was one of those nights where we got a few lucky bounces and some big blocked shots. Overall, I think it was one of those games where you need a little bit of luck on your side and I think we got that," said Anderson. The Senators will head out west after this contest to continue their road trip in Los Angeles, San Jose, Anaheim and Phoenix before their home opener on Oct. 17 versus New Jersey. ' ' '
