Sally Pearson says she would have risked the end of her athletics career by trying to overcome a hamstring injury and compete at the Rio Olympics.The Olympic 100m hurdles champion says shes gutted at being forced to withdraw from the Rio Games after injuring a hamstring tendon at training on Monday.I could have gone to the Olympics and still competed but competing and going out to the Olympics, it means different things to me, she told the Nine Network on Wednesday.I go there for 100 per cent effort and I wouldnt be able to give that effort that I would like to bring ... and the risk of re-injuring and causing a lot more damage and probably not coming back was very, very high.And I still have Gold Coast 2018 (Commonwealth Games) on my mind ... if I want to be able to come back for that stronger, fitter and faster than ever, then I need to take this time to make sure my body has healed.Pearson had returned to her Gold Coast base to find fitness and form after struggling in three comeback races in Europe earlier this month.The races were her first competitive outings after a year-long absence because of a broken wrist and a torn calf muscle suffered in a fall during a race in June last year.Her comeback was stalled by Achilles and separate hamstring issues before Mondays setback.It is a hard time for me ... Im disappointed and Im gutted, she said.Everyone knows Im a competitor and Im a fierce competitor and I like to represent my country proudly at any competition that I go into.Unfortunately it is the biggest sporting event in the world that I am going to be missing out on and I cant be a part of. Its upsetting.Pearson said she was finally feeling near her best until her fresh injury on Monday, My body finally was starting to feel normal again, it was starting to feel the speed, the strength - it was all coming together, she said.Unfortunately on Monday, my body just didnt agree with me this time.It couldnt push that little extra bit to the edge, I just tumbled over the edge unfortunately this time, and I tore my hamstring.The 29-year-old said the injury was to her biceps femoris tendon in a hamstring.Its not so much just like a tear (sic) hamstring and youll be right in a couple of weeks, it is a tendon injury, Pearson said.The biceps femoris has two heads and I split those two heads.Doing something like that in a tendon injury, it takes a long, long time to get better ... and unfortunately seven weeks out (from the Rio Games) I have done a tendon injury and its not going to allow me to get back in time for the Olympics.Air Force 1 Outlet . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.

Air Force 1 Off-White Outlet . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room.The St. Louis Blues lost an undersized scoring forward to retirement and effectively replaced them wen they added a centre whose production has slipped in the last couple seasons.Numbers Game looks into the Blues acquisition of Derek Roy.The Blues Get: C Derek Roy.Roy, 30, was in the midst of a point-per-game season in 2010-2011, with 35 points in 35 games, before tearing a quadriceps tendon to end his season. Since returning to action, Roy has 72 points in 122 games with three teams, which is okay, but a decided step down for a player who, from 2007-2008 through 2010-2011, ranked 32nd in the league with 255 points (more than Thomas Vanek, Marian Hossa and Patrik Elias, among others).While his point production has suffered the last couple seasons, Roy has put up solid possession numbers while playing more challenging minutes in terms of opposition and zone starts.Even though his offensive production has dipped, Roy will effectively be a replacement for Andy McDonald, the small, productive winger who retired at the end of the 2013 season. If Roy playys with scoring wingers like Chris Stewart or Vladimir Tarasenko, there is a decent opportunity for Roy to put up better offensive numbers.dddddddddddd The Blues havent been the most creative offensive team in recent years so Roy does have some of that Vancouver still seemed like a decent fit for Roy, roster-wise, but the Canucks salary cap situation made it awfully diffi Stewart or Vladimir Tarasenko, there is a decent opportunity for Roy to put up better offensive numbers.dddddddddddd The Blues havent been the most creative offensive team in recent years so Roy does have some of that Vancouver still seemed like a decent fit for Roy, roster-wise, but the Canucks salary cap situation macult to bring him back. Now, Vancouver needs to find a number three centre or they have to hope that some combination of Brad Richardson and prospects Jordan Schroeder, Brendan Gaunce and Bo Horvat can handle the third and fourth centre roles.Signed for one year, at $4-million, Roy is a bargain pickup for what he offers. At the very least, he should produce a decent amount for a second-line centre and to get that production on the free agent market without having to give any term is a nice low-risk move by the Blues.
