European Weightlifting Championships in Norway

Zoe Smiths hopes of qualifying for the Rio Olympics hang in the balance despite claiming a bronze medal at the European Weightlifting Championships in Norway. The 21-year-old finished third in the clean-and-jerk portion of the womens 63kg category but ranked fourth overall and described her performance as disappointingly lacklustre. Great Britain are bidding to win a quota of places for Rio which are based on national rankings once the tournament in Norway is completed.In reality they are likely to secure one place in the womens competition at best, meaning Smiths medal could tip the balance when the selectors meet to ratify the team in June.Smith, the 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, lifted 119kg to take bronze but said her performance was nowhere near what I thought Id be, blaming a recent injury.She said: A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a knee problem and before coming here I picked up a back niggle.Ive got two bulging discs, so at one point I didnt actually think Id be able to compete.Smiths hopes of claiming a quota place were boosted when Keighley teenager Rebekah Tiler claimed bronze in the womens 69kg category on Thursday night.The 17-year-old lifted 99kg in the snatch and 123kg in the clean and jerk to take third place in both disciplines and overall behind Armenias Nazik Avdalyan.However, while Tilers success makes a British quota place more likely, it will also give the selectors a headache over which athlete to pick for the solitary womens qualifying berth on offer.

Fulham lost 4-1 at Stoke and Cardiff was defeated 3-0 at Newcastle, leaving both teams unable to climb out of the bottom three with one match apiece remaining. "I have to apologize for not managing the situation. The club asked me to come -- I tried," said Fulham manager Felix Magath, who was hired in February in an attempt to keep the club in the top division for a 14th straight season. "The thing is you can never say any player would like to see relegation, but they didnt fight enough, especially today." Cardiff goes down after spending just one year in the Premier League. Sebastian Larssons 30th-minute winner at Old Trafford means resurgent Sunderland have picked up seven points from recent away matches at Manchester City, Chelsea and United to move three points clear of third-bottom Norwich with two matches left. After opening with a 4-0 win over Norwich last weekend, Giggs saw United turn in a performance reminiscent of David Moyes woeful 10-month tenure that was ended last month. "I feel flat," said Giggs. "The players were flat annd I dont know why .dddddddddddd We were putting five- or 10-yard passes astray and if you do that in the Premier League you get punished. Weve had a problem at home all season -- its not been good enough." Already out of contention to qualify for the Champions League, United is also struggling to make the Europa League as it is six points behind sixth-placed Tottenham, which lost 2-0 at West Ham. Spurs went down to 10 men in the 25th minute when Younes Kaboul was given a straight red card for a professional foul, before an own goal by Harry Kane and Stewart Downings free kick secured a victory that preserved West Hams Premier League status for another season. Aston Villa is almost certain of staying up, too, after beating Hull 3-1 thanks to Ashley Westwoods goal after 58 seconds and a pair of headers from Andreas Weimann just before halftime. Villa is six points clear of Norwich, which likely needs at least four points to survive but ends the season with games against Chelsea on Sunday and Arsenal next weekend. Hull, a point behind Villa, is also unlikely to be hauled in by Norwich but its three-game winless run bodes ill for the FA Cup final against Arsenal on May 17. Southampton beat Swansea 1-0 away thanks to Rickie Lamberts injury-time goal in Saturdays other match.
