Canada will have to wait at least another four years for its first Olympic medal in mens freestyle wrestling since Daniel Igalis gold at Sydney 2000. On the final day of competition at London 2012, Haislan Veranes Garcia and Khetag Pliev were unable to make the podium as they both lost repechage matches in their respective divisions. Coquitlam, B.C.s Garcia, who made the quarter-finals after a walk-through in the 66kg preliminaries followed by a three-round win over Tajikistans Zalimkhan Yusupov, fell in a tough match to Japans Tatsuhiro Yonemitsu 0-1, 1-0, 5-0 and then lost his repechage bout 1-0, 0-1, 1-0 to Cubas Livan Lopez Azcuy. Garcia, who was born in Cuba but moved to Canada eight years ago, looked strong in his earlier win but he was too defensive against Lopez Azcuy, with whom he was very familiar having previously lost to the 2011 Pan American Games bronze medallist. There was no scoring in regulation in either of the first two rounds, which were split after each scored the sudden-death takedown after getting his ball drawn. Garcia found himself battling for back position midway through the third period and Lopez proved too strong, getting the Canadian onto his stomach for the winning score. The 29-year-old Garcia did not register a point apart from the winning takedown from the clinch in the first rounds overtime frame. He lost a tough one as well to Yonemitsu, who went on to win the 66kg gold medal. Garcia lost the draw after a scoreless first round, but instead of securing the single leg, Yonemitsu went for a double-leg takedown and Garcia was able to defend it for 30 seconds to take the point. In the second, Yonemitsu was able to get a double-leg for the first point and then defended well against Garcias aggressive attempts to find the next one. Late in the third, Yonemitsu went for a single but quickly transitioned to a double and got Garcia down very quickly for two points. Garcia then appealed to the referee for a penalty, showing his finger was bleeding. A replay showed he had gotten his hand in the Japanese wrestlers mouth during their scramble and Yonemitsu bit down. A caution for biting could result in up to a two-point penalty, but because Garcia was deemed to have shoved his fingers in his opponents mouth, he was the one penalized a point. The 2010 and 2011 Pan American Championships bronze medallist tried for a big throw to get back into the match but Yonemitsu instead reversed it for a three-point takedown and held on for the win. Garcia, making his second Olympic appearance, managed to improve on his 18th-place finish at Beijing 2008. He got a win by default in his first scheduled bout when his Tunisian opponent Haitem Ben Alayech did not show up, and then defeated Yusupov 2-0, 0-2, 2-0. Against Yusupov, he got the benefit of a drawn ball and an upheld challenge after a scoreless first round to score the extra-time point at 2:14. Then after dropping the second round, he responded with a winning two-point takedown in the third. Later, Yonemitsu was a 1-0, 3-1 winner in the final over Indias Sushil Kumar, who was also involved in an apparent biting incident on Sunday. Reminiscent of boxer Mike Tysons infamous chomping in a bout against Evander Holyfield, Indias Sushil Kumar appeared to bite the cauliflower ear of his opponent Akzhurek Tanatarov of Kazakhstan in their 66kg semi-final, drawing a fair amount of blood. He was not penalized and instead advanced to the final to coincidentally take on Yonemitsu. Lopez Azcuy ended up taking a bronze medal with a victory over Azerbaijains Jabrayil Hasanov. Tanatarov got some consolation for his bloody injury by defeating Turkeys Ramazan Sahin in his bronze-medal match, during which his ear was bandaged up. In the 96kg division, Torontos Pliev lost his quarter-final match 1-0, 1-0 to Jacob Varner of the U.S. on two takedowns and then dropped two rounds against Uzbekistans Kurban Kurbanov in the repechage. Kurbanov scored first when he grappled against Pliev at the boundary. The Russian-born Canadian tried to circle away to stay in bounds but barely touched a foot on the blue mat for a point to his opponent. The Uzbekistani wrestler then took Pliev down early in the second and got a gut wrench turn for another two points. After being spun for another point, the 28-year-old Pliev managed a late takedown but had no time left to make up the three-point deficit and lost 1-0, 4-1. Earlier Pliev rallied from an 0-2 hole in the second frame of his first match after already being down one round to win a 0-2, 2-2, 1-0 decision over Javier Cortina Lacerra of Cuba. Pliev, who was making his Olympic debut, was hoping for a better performance but was happy with the experience. It is quite the feat for the former national champion, who came to Canada for good when he was 21 but spent the summer of 2008 homeless and sleeping on a bench in Torontos Allan Gardens. There he found a Bible, began reading it and ended up becoming a born-again Christian. "I feel this is special, this is the Olympic Games and it brings the world together," Pliev said. "I am wrestling for Canada, it is a good country and I am proud of that. "It is all possible by God. I didnt think I had the strength to turn my life around (but) God helped me." Varner ended up capturing gold with a win over Ukraines Valerii Andriitsev. Kurbanov lost his bronze-medal match to George Gogshelidze of Georgia, while Azerbaijans Khetag Gazyumov took the other bronze when 2011 world champion Reza Mohammad Ali Yazdani of Iran pulled out after being injured in his semi-final match against Andriitsev. None of the Canadians competing in the three-day mens freestyle competition were able to make the podium. Team Canada leaves London with just the two medals in womens wrestling: Beijing 2008 gold medallist Carol Huynh won a bronze in the 48kg division and Tonya Verbeek won her third Olympic medal, taking a second 55kg silver to go with her first at Athens 2004 and a bronze in Beijing. cheap jerseys from china .

Not even their defence has been good enough to overcome the offensive ineptitude lately. Unable to protect whichever quarterback is healthy or get out of their own way, Arizonas offence has sputtered during a losing streak that reached three games with Sundays stuck-in-the-mud 21-14 loss at Minnesota. "We think the defence is doing a great job, theyve put us in position to win every single game," Cardinals guard Daryn Colledge said Monday. "We owe it to them to play better football." Arizonas defence has certainly held its own. The Cardinals (4-3) have the NFLs fourth-best scoring defence, allowing 16.9 points per game, and theyre seventh in total defence, giving up just over 312 yards. Arizona has 22 sacks, two behind league leader Green Bay, and has had a knack for coming up with big plays, forcing eight interceptions and seven fumbles, including one returned for a touchdown. With numbers like that, all the offensive really has to do is make a couple of plays and avoid big mistakes. They did just that early in the season, opening 4-0 for the first time since 1974, 14 years before the franchise moved from St. Louis to the desert. Over the past three games, Arizonas offence turned it over too many times, allowed way too many sacks, been unable to come up with plays downfield or when in scoring position. The Cardinals have scored 33 points during their three-game losing streak and overall have given up an NFL-high 35 sacks, including 29 the past four games. "It kind of feels like were not handling our side of the ball," Cardinals running back LaRod Stephens-Howling said. "The defence is playing great, the special teams are playing great, we just need to pick it up and score points." Injuries are certainly a part of Arizonas offensive struggles. Quarterback John Skelton, who won a tight battle with Kevin Kolb to open the season as the starter, sprained his left ankle in Arizonas opener against Seattle. Kolb took over the next five games, only to go down with chest and rib injuries in an overtime loss to Buffalo two weeks ago -- the same day Skelton was back in uniform.dddddddddddd Running back Ryan Williams is out for the season after suffering a shoulder injury against St. Louis on Oct. 4. Beanie Wells has played three games and is out until at least Thanksgiving with a turf toe injury. Stephens-Howling missed two games with a hip injury and returned against the Bills. Tight end Todd Heap hasnt played since the opener due to a knee injury and left tackle Levi Brown is out for the season with a triceps injury. The attrition has led to plenty of shuffling and moving players into unfamiliar roles. "Thats the NFL, you face that," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "You dont have 90 (players) like you do in training camp, you only have a 53-man roster, and part of our continuity on offence is struggling because of that. You cant use it as an excuse. Youve got to move forward." All Arizonas offence had to do was move forward just a little against Minnesota after the defence held the Vikings to 209 total yards. They couldnt do it. The Cardinals started four possessions on the Vikings side of the field in the first half and came away with one touchdown -- set up by an interception by the defence inside the 20-yard line. Arizona failed to get a first down on two of the drives and Jay Feely missed a 47-yard field goal on the other. The Cardinals beleaguered offensive also had a hard time keeping the Vikings pass rush away from Skelton, who was sacked seven times and spent most of the day throwing off the run. Skelton ended up with two of the games biggest gaffes, losing a fumble with Arizona in position for at least a field goal and throwing an interception that Minnesota safety Harrison Smith returned 31 yards for a touchdown. "We cant make those kinds of mistakes where we are as a team right now," Whisenhunt said. The Cardinals need to clean it up quick. They play NFC West-leading San Francisco on Monday night and have games against Green Bay and Atlanta coming up. ' ' '
