RIO DE JANEIRO -- Almost 7,000 miles away from the Olympic Stadium, the Oregon Ducks have started football practice with an eye on the season-opening game.On Monday night, the Ducks will break for a team meeting to turn their attention to Rio de Janeiro and watch wide receiver Devon Allen make his Olympic debut. Allen will run in the opening heats of the 110-meter hurdles, a berth he earned by winning the Olympic Trials in front of his college community at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, last month.So confident Allen was going to be Rio-bound, he celebrated by leaping into the crowd and posing for selfies -- a move he planned the night before the trials.I asked some friends what should I do for my celebration? They were like, `You should jump into the stands where we are sitting, Allen said. They were sitting where my parents were sitting, so I scoped it out the day before to see how big the gap was. It was like a three-inch gap, so I knew I could make it. I would have jumped into the stands if I made third, but I was going in expecting to win.Allen is confident hell deliver again in Rio.Im really just going out there to win a gold medal, Allen said. My goal is to win every heat.His confidence soaring, Allen has got the next few weeks mapped out: Win a gold medal in Rio, return to Eugene on Aug. 23, regroup and then rejoin the Ducks. Maybe even in time for the Sept. 21 season-opener.Hes not positive thats doable because hes been so focused on track, hell need time to transition back into football once he returns to Oregon.If I miss the first game, its not the end of the world, Allen said. A week of football practice may not be enough. I want to really feel into it before I return.That this two-sport ride is even happening at all is quite the comeback tale. Allen had a breakout freshman season for Oregon in 2014 with 41 catches and seven touchdowns, only to tear his anterior cruciate ligament in the Rose Bowl.The recovery time was lengthy, but Allens ticket to Rio made it complete.This is the time of his life, and the three-time NCAA champion in hurdles has the resume to show how far hes come: Allen is the first collegian to win the 110-meter hurdles at the Olympic Trials since Renaldo Nehemiah of Maryland in 1980, the first to win both NCAA and trials titles in the same year since Lee Calhoun of N.C. Central in 1956, and his .18 margin of victory was the largest ever at the trials.Next up? A gold medal, of course, and this 21-year-old Phoenix native believes in himself and the goals he sets.He learned early at Oregon how to juggle two sports, academics and my social life as a kid, and came back from an injury that could have forced others to scale back to one discipline.But Allen has eyes on competing in both sports as long as possible. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds right now, and talks about getting it down to 4.2 for the NFL scouting combine.With a gold medal around his neck, he believes he can talk any potential NFL teams into also allowing him to continue his track career. Allen could also go pro in track after the Rio Olympics.As long as I dont sign a shoe endorsement, because the endorsement covers my likeness as an athlete and the NCAA owns my likeness as an athlete for my time in college, he said. I can compete in all the meets I want to professionally and win prize money and still play football.I just dont know if Id compete wearing an Oregon uniform or a T-shirt.He knows an argument can be made to transition into football only after the Olympics, but Allen doesnt see a need.American football is definitely more lucrative for great athletes, he said. Theres a lot of football players Ive been around who would be great track athletes, but they choose a different path. If I was born in Europe, Id probably be a soccer player because thats the popular sport there.A lot of U.S. athletes who are explosive and fast end up playing football because thats the most popular sport and its a sport where people can see their future, make some money in and live. Right now, Im considering doing both.---This story has been corrected to show that Allen runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds, not the 400. Air Max 270 Scontate .

CHAPECO, Brazil -- Relatives of victims who died in an air crash that killed most members of the Brazilian soccer club Chapecoense spoke out in anger Thursday, with several saying the crash was avoidable.Only six of the 77 passengers and crew survived, three of them players. Nineteen other players died in the crash late Monday, a few kilometers (miles) from the airport in Medellin, Colombia.Recordings of conversations with the pilot and accounts of a surviving flight attendant, along with the lack of an explosion upon impact, indicated the BAE 146 Avro RJ85 jet ran out of fuel.Osmar Machado, the father of defender Filipe, questioned why that plane was used. His son died on his fathers 66th birthday.Profit brings greed, Machado said. Because of 30 kilometers this plane ended (the lives of) 71 people. But what can we do now? The owner of the plane died.Experts have said the plane that took off from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was at its maximum flight range when it crashed into a muddy mountainside.The team was heading to play in the first of two matches in the final of the Copa Sudamerica, South Americas No. 2 club tournament.Williams Brasiliano, uncle of Chapecoense midfielder Arthur Maia, said the crash could have been avoided if Chapecoense had chosen a regular airline to travel to Colombia instead of a charter.Look how complicated that flight was going to be even if it had arrived, Brasiliano said, tears in his eyes. Even if they had arrived, it is clear that they would be tired from the trip to play a final. This cant be right. I doubt that a bigger club would have done the same.Chapecoense spokesman Andrei Copetti said more than 30 clubs had used the LaMia company that operated the crashed jet, including Argentina and Bolivia.LaMia also took us to Barranquilla (Colombia) to play against Junior, Copetti said. They had a good service then. It was the airline that got in touch with us because they have experience in doing these long flights in South America. We chose this company for technical reasons. All these rumors have too be discarded.dddddddddddd.He said the governing body of South American football, known as CONMEBOL, was not involved in choosing LaMia. He said also said the city had no role.Soccer legend Pele expressed concern for the families in his first comments about the crash.We have to ask God to give strength to their families for this sadness to go as quickly as possible, Pele told ESPN Brasil. We have to pray, send positive energies to the families. Support those that are still here, in whichever way possible.The team announced that a funeral will be held for several players, staff and local journalists at Arena Conda stadium Saturday. It was not clear whether all the victims would be present at a service expected to draw 100,000 people to the 22,000-seat arena.Chapecoense acting president Ivan Tozzo said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and FIFA President Gianni Infantino were to be at the funeral.Brazilian President Michel Temer will be present only at the arrival of the bodies at Chapecos airport. Temer has avoided public meetings since he was booed at both the Olympics and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this year after he took office following the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.Also on Thursday, the president of Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro said his team would not play its final-round match of the Brazilian league season against Chapecoense.Chapecoenses acting president said earlier in the week that the head of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Marco Polo Del Nero, had ordered Chapecoense to play its final match using a team made up mostly of junior players.We believe in sport, Atletico Mineiro president Daniel Nepomuceno said. We respect the pain. Its not the moment to demand that players play this match.Nepomuceno said that he had talked with Del Nero and that the CBF head had changed his mind.Del Nero was widely criticized on social media for his earlier statements.
