Great Britains mens four defended its Olympic title in rowings top rivalry on
Day 8, winning gold and continuing their Olympic reign for a fourth-straight
Olympic Games. Reggie Wayne Womens Jersey . In one of the
most highly-anticipated races of the London 2012 Olympic regatta, the crew from
Great Britain led the way to hold off the Australian crew and keep their Olympic
title on home soil.  Australia won silver, and the United States won bronze. 
Great Britain and Australia have long dominated the podium in the mens four
event, with both nations concentrating their top rowers in the crews.  Great
Britain has claimed Olympic gold in the event since Sydney 2000, when they stole
gold from the home team Australia. Although Drew Ginn—who was part of the
original Australian Oarsome Foursome of the 1990s—was confident that the crew
could pull off the upset in front of Britains home crowd, they fell short. With
500 metres to go, the three top crews entered what has been named “the wall of
noise” at Eton Dorney; that was all Great Britain needed to surge ahead for a
firm grasp on the victory, as the crowd noise lifted them to the line.  More to

pressure of competition, Colin Campbell hopes the NHL can find some clarity on
its standard for calling penalties. The NHLs senior vice-president of hockey
operations will oversee a rules summit with key stakeholders in the game Tuesday
and Wednesday that is tasked with examining the way hooking, holding and
interference calls were handed out last season. “Weve got lots of video clips to
look at and were trying to determine where our standard is and if we want to
tighten it up at all,” Campbell said Monday. The meeting will be held in place
of the research and development camp the NHL put on the last two years. There
should be a healthy exchange of ideas with five general managers (Darcy Regier,
Lou Lamoriello, Ray Shero, Steve Yzerman, Mike Gillis) and four head coaches
(Joel Quenneville, Barry Trotz, Dave Tippett, Adam Oates) in a room with
players, referees and members of the leagues hockey operations department.
Campbell labelled it a “think-tank for hockey.” The idea came out of the GM
meetings in March, when a number of managers expressed frustration with what
they believed to be a slip in standard for the way penalties were called.
Campbell invited them to submit video of specific incidents, which will be
looked at this week. “Personally, I dont think the hooking and holding has
slipped,” said Campbell. “I think we have to find out what we want with
intereference on the forechecking and interference off the faceoff. Pat Angerer Womens Jersey. ” The leagues
former disciplinarian thinks the discussion might branch off to other rules like
slashing. “Anything that stops a player from scoring,” he said. This will be the
first exercise of its kind since the NHL held a major crackdown on obstruction
coming out of the 2004-05 lockout. However, Campbell doesnt expect it to have
nearly the same impact on the sport in terms of the number of penalties called.
“That was a much bigger change then,” he said. “You were allowed to hook a guy
hard three times before it was even thought about calling a penalty. There was
lots of grabbing, lots of turnstile (moves) with defenceman sticking people in
between the legs. “It was a major turn back then and it was hard to actually
implement.” The latest summit is intended to try and get everyone on the same
page. Campbell was pleased that a handful of players accepted an invitation even
though collective bargaining negotiations are ongoing and is curious to see if
the attitude in the room is consistent with how the managers felt in March, when
their teams were in the heat of playoff races. “I want to find out—Im just
one guy watching games,” said Campbell. “Theres lots of opinions out there so Id
like to see us sit down and just get that opinion from particularly the three
groups that are dealing with it all the time: the referees, the players and the
coaches.” ’ ’ ’
