RIO DE JANEIRO -- Barred from competing in Rio de Janeiro, Yelena Isinbayeva was elected as an athletes representative on the International Olympic Committee on Thursday.The Russian pole vaulter saw her election as a sign she retains the trust of her fellow athletes despite being part of a doping-tainted track and field team.Isinbayeva and 66 other Russian track and field athletes were barred from the Rio Games by the IAAF following a World Anti-Doping Agency investigation detailing state-sponsored doping in Russia.Isinbayeva, who has never failed a drug test, was in Rio as she secured an eight-year term as one of four candidates elected to the IOC athletes commission. There were 23 candidates for the posts.I am very thankful to all athletes who voted for me here in Rio, Isinbayeva said in the Olympic Village. Thank you so much for your trust, for your belief, for your support. For me it was very, very important. Today we won all together.Now I will work very hard for the Olympic movement. Of course I will protect the rights of clean athletes all over the world.Isinbayeva, the world record-holder in the womens pole vault, won gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics and 2008 Beijing Games. She took bronze four years ago in London.Now she will have a say in how the Olympic movement is run.It is very important for me because I was preparing for this Olympics for a long time and unfortunately I was not able to participate, she said. It is kind of compensation for my competition here in Rio so I am very, very thankful.The three other athletes elected to the IOC were Daniel Gyurta of Hungary, Britta Heidemann of Germany and Ryu Seung-min of South Korea.

Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Former Test allrounder Andrew McDonald has been confirmed as Victorias new head coach, after he announced during the week he was leaving his position in charge of Leicestershire.The vacancy with Victoria opened up after David Saker was named Australias new assistant coach in July, and McDonald soon became the leading candidate. He was appointed head coach of the Melbourne Renegades - a position that Saker had also held - earlier this month and Cricket Victoria has now confirmed that McDonald will also take the state reins.The move continues a rapid coaching rise for McDonald, 35, who less than two years ago was still playing in the Sheffield Shield. Although he ended his career with South Australia and also played four Tests during 2009, most of McDonalds career in Australia was played with Victoria - he appeared in 71 first-class games for them for 3516 runs at 40.88 and 163 wickets at 28.18.Over the past two years, McDonald has been a popular coach of Leicestershire, lifting the performances of the struggling county, and now he will take over a side sitting in a position of strength in Australian cricket. Victoria have won the past two Sheffield Shield titles, first under long-time coach Greg Shipperd in 2014-15, and then under his replacement Saker in 2015-16.Im really pleased to be coming hhome to Victoria to take on the coaching role with the Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers, McDonald said.dddddddddddd The state team is in a really good place on the back of consecutive Shield victories and Im looking forward to building on that culture of success and delivering results across all formats.Im a proud Victorian and have been lucky enough to share some big wins playing cricket for this state. Im excited about the challenges that are ahead of us and I look forward to working with the coaching staff and the players led by Matthew Wade on the busy schedule ahead.Tony Dodemaide, the Cricket Victoria CEO, said: Were delighted that Andrew has agreed to return to Victoria after his time in charge with Leicestershire. He brings a great enthusiasm and knowledge to the role and knows Victorian cricket well which stands us in good stead ahead of the upcoming Sheffield Shield season and Matador BBQs One Day Cup.The Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers have enjoyed terrific success in the last two years with our consecutive Shield victories. Andrew - a former Shield winner himself - understands elite performance environments and is looking to build on that success this season. ' ' '
