as good to be part of a goal to help our team

Britains Mo Farah made athletics history on Sunday when he broke David Moorcrofts 34-year-old British 3000 metres record at the Birmingham Diamond League meeting. Farah missed last years meeting in Birmingham, saying he felt too emotionally and physically drained by the doping allegations surrounding his coach, Alberto Salazar.The double Olympic champion won the race with a time of 7min 32.62sec, a tenth of a second faster than Moorcrofts best time, set in 1982. The 33-year-old said: I have been trying for about seven years for that record - it has stood there for a while.It has been hard to beat. I knew I was in good shape.I had to work the last two laps. It was a little bit breezy the last 200m, I had to dig in deep.Farah is hoping to defend his 5,000 and 10,000m titles at this summers Olympic Games in Rio. Mo Farah said his training for the Olympics had been going well Training has been going pretty well, I am in a good place, I have to make sure I dont overcook it, be sensible, believe in myself.What I am trying to do is something that has never been done before. It wont be easy.People say, Oh, Mo won it four years ago. He will get it again.It doesnt work like that. I have to be sensible, be smart, keep enjoying it.Farah now holds the British record for the 1,500m, 3,000m, two miles, 5,000m, 10,000m and half-marathon, as well as four indoor national records.The athlete also paid tribute to boxing great Muhammad Ali by striking a boxing pose on the start-line before his record-smashing victory. Greg Rutherfords winning streak was ended by Marquise Goodwin It was a tribute definitely to Muhammad Ali, said Farah. My sympathy goes to his family, he was a great man.He was a real influence on me as I wrote in my biography, I looked up to him.Meanwhile, Greg Rutherford had his winning streak broken in the long jump - suffering his first defeat since July 2015 to Marquise Goodwin. Rutherford finished fifth with a best jump of 8.01m and later complained of a neck injury, which he believes hampered his performance.Rutherford said: I have made it worse on the first landing and I am currently unable to move my neck. The doctor thinks it is a bad whiplash, but it wont affect my Olympic bid. I am positive the British Athletics medical staff will be able to fix it over the next week.

On Friday night, after a long rain delay, he was scratched from his scheduled start. MONTREAL -- Playing against one of the top NHL teams brought out the best in the Canadiens. Montreal limited the Blackhawks, the leagues most potent offence, to only 20 shots on net in its 2-1 overtime victory over Chicago. Chicago entered the Bell Centre with a league-best 165 goals scored this season, an average of 3.58 goals-per-game. Four of the leagues 15 best point-getters -- Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith -- play for the Blackhawks. The Canadiens shut them down on Saturday. "Thats what we wanted to do coming in," said Habs captain Brian Gionta. "They have a lot of offensive power, obviously, that you need to be aware of. We did a good job of handling them." Giontas line frustrated Chicagos big names all night. Keith and Kane were kept off the scoreboard, while Toews and Sharp were kept to a shot and an assist apiece. "It was a good test for us," said Gionta. "We responded right off the bat. We gave them the respect, but not too much. We played them hard, we knew what to expect, we came in with a game plan and stuck with it." The Canadiens outshot the Blackhawks 38-20, and delivered twice as many hits. Andrei Markov, who scored both goals for Montreal, including one in overtime, thought his team played their best game of the season. "Every time we play against a team like Chicago thats high in the standings, its a big challenge," said Markov. "And we responded well." The Blackhawks are currently in third place in the Western Conference. Markov took a deflected pass from Max Pacioretty and found the roof of the net at 1:28 of overtime to beat Montreal native Corey Crawford and secure the victory for the Canadiens. "We have to continue the same way," added Markov, who claimed he closed his eyes as he fired home his game-winner. "Thats our game. We have to try to play that game every night. If you play hard every game like tonight, success will be on your side." Crawford was otherwise outstanding in net for the Blackhawks (29-8-10), stopping 36-of-38 shots he faced in the loss. The 29-year-old missed nearly a month of play with a lower-body injury and is winless (0-1-3) since his return. But Crawford made key saves in the first period to preserve the scoreless draw after Chicago ran into penalty trouble, and made a freakish save at the end of the second to keep the deficit at one. Wiith P.ddddddddddddK. Subban in the box for delay of game, a sprawled-out, stickless Crawford robbed Lars Eller from close range with the blade of his skate. "It was a great play," said head coach Joel Quenneville of his goaltenders spectacular save. "He stayed with it. He held his ground well, made a nice skate save. Whatever you want to call what he did ... it was nice to see." After a few close calls by the Blackhawks to start the second, including Sharp missing an open net high and wide, and Kane hitting the crossbar, Markov broke the deadlock at 12:54 for his fourth of the year. With six-foot-five Habs enforcer George Parros screening him, Crawford couldnt react quickly enough when Markovs wrist shot flew past his blocker. "I dont think so, I dont think so," repeated Parros when asked if he got his stick on it. "I wish it did. I knew I had a good screen on the goalie, so I just wanted to let it go through me and see what would happen." Parros has often been left out of the Canadiens lineup. He suffered two concussions this season, and only dressed in 10 games. He finished the game with a shot on net and a plus-1 rating. "Ive been looking for some positivity this year and I finally got some there," said Parros. "It was good to be part of a goal to help our team." Chicago found their equalizer at 9:22 of the third when Marian Hossa deflected Toews pass over Carey Prices outstretched pads. Sharp also got an assist on the goal. Bryan Bickell hit the post to Prices left with just over a minute to play in the third period before the game was sent to overtime. Price finished with 19 saves as Montreal improved to 26-15-5. "If you looked at statistics before the game, the advantage went to the Blackhawks," said head coach Michel Therrien. "But statistics are in the past. What matters to us is tonights game. We can control the present. We can focus on the present." The Canadiens have now won six in a row against the Blackhawks as the host team. Chicagos last win in Montreal was on Dec. 3, 2001.
