Sky Academy Sports Scholar Siobhan-Marie OConnor has qualified for this summers Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after achieving the qualifying standard at the British Championships in Glasgow. OConnor was comfortably inside the required time in the 200m individual medley as she finished almost two and a half seconds ahead of Hannah Miley, with Aimee Willmott in third.Four years ago, I was in London in my first Olympic trials situation and I was really going for the 200m medley, but the pressure really got to me, said the 20-year-old Commonwealth champion. I was pretty young back then so Im really glad to come back and book my spot because the 200m individual medley is what I really want to swim.I just knew I had to really relax and try and swim the swim I had been training for, focus on the process rather than thinking I have got to get this time. OConnor (centre) with Hannah Miley (left) and and Aimee Willmott Jazz Carlin and Ben Proud also booked their places in Brazil on day five of the event at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.Welsh swimmer Carlin made the qualifying standard for the 400m freestyle with a time of four minutes 4.33 seconds.Carlin had won the 200m and 800m earlier in the week, but her final swim proved decisive in securing her Olympic place.The 25-year-old, who failed to qualify for London 2012 after illness interrupted her preparations, said: I was trying not to focus on the time too much.I was trying to relax and enjoy the race, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the Olympic trials, whereas towards the start of the week I was stressing myself out, being so tense and really moody with everyone around me.I did it on the last swim, so I left it a bit late but I couldnt be any happier right now. Jazz Carlin won gold in the womens 400m freestyle at the British Swimming Championships Carlin also acknowledged how her 2012 heartbreak had spurred her on to victory.I watched the Olympics. I had a month or so out of the water and I thought you know, I can give this one more shot, she added.It was amazing to watch the GB swimmers race but I dont want to watch on the sidelines - I want to be there as part of the Olympics.Theres a saying that failure pushes you to success and Ive really used that, the real lows, to bring me up to where I am now.This week has been tough. I have really put pressure on myself, so it feels like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Ben Proud of Great Britain competes in the Mens 50m Freestyle Final on day six of the British Swimming Championships Meanwhile, Proud set a British record of 21.65 seconds in the 50m freestyle during the heats and won gold in the evening in 21.73.The Plymouth swimmer, who was beaten by Scottish teenager Duncan Scott in 100m, said: Its been four years in the making with a lot of dedication and hard work.Its not quite sunk in yet but I think over the next few days, it will be a massive relief.Tim Shuttleworth is almost certain to join Proud in Rio after winning the 1500m freestyle in a time of 14:55.23 - 12 hundredths of a second off the qualifying standard, while Scotlands Stephen Milne also has a chance after finishing four seconds off the mark.

Dwight Howard had 22 points and 16 rebounds, James Harden added 21 points and the Houston Rockets held James in check Tuesday night during a 106-103 win over the Miami Heat. James had a chance to tie the game with a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer, but it was off -- just like most of his second-half shots. The four-time MVP finished with 22 points, one night after setting a club record with a career-high 61 against Charlotte. He acknowledged before Tuesdays game that he was "extremely tired" and that he spent most of the day sleeping. James had 19 points by halftime, but appeared to drag at times in the second half and spent the first half of the fourth quarter on the bench. He was 1 for 7 after the break. "I fought through it in the first half. Second half it just wasnt there for me," James said. "Got out of rhythm." Still, the Heat cut their deficit to three when Michael Beasley hit a 3-pointer with 21.2 seconds left. Harden threw the ball away after that, and Howard accidentally hit James in the face when they both went up to try to grab a long pass. James lay on the court holding his broken nose for a few seconds before getting up and slowly walking to the bench. He has been wearing a protective mask to protect his nose. James remained in the game after a timeout, then missed the desperation 3 with Howard in his face. "I knew I had to put up a heave over top of him," James said. "I felt like I got a good look -- just a little long." The Rockets used the word composed repeatedly after the game to describe their play. "Theres no need for us to get worried," Howard said of the teams mindset after Beasleys 3. "Situations like that, the best thing we can do is stay composed. If we point our finger or put our heads down, it gives the other team confidence. Thats something weve been trying to work on all year." Dwyane Wade had 24 points for the Heat after sitting out Monday night. Beasley also scored 24, a season high. Miami never led, but tied it twice in the fourth quarter. Houston used an 11-2 spurt to take a 104-95 lead with less than 3 minutes remaining. "We were able to push back in the fourth quarter and tie the game up,"; Wade said.dddddddddddd "But we had to exhaust so much energy trying to come back." Houston led by 13 early in the fourth before two separate runs by the Heat tied it at 91 with 7 minutes remaining. The also tied it at 93 before Houston used its late run to close it out. "We did some good stuff," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "We made some plays. ... I thought during stretches in this game we played really well." The Heat had made consecutive 3-pointers to cut the lead to seven early in the fourth quarter when Chris Andersen blocked a shot by Donatas Motiejunas. Andersen stood under the basket after the block and taunted Motiejunas, drawing a technical foul. Miami then used an 8-0 run, which included a 3 by Beasley, to cut it to 88-87 with 8 1/2 minutes left. Houston opened the second half with a 9-2 run capped by Chandler Parsons dunk over James. Shane Battier had a basket for Miami after that, but Houston reeled off six straight points to extend the lead to 68-56. An airball on a 3-point attempt by Wade was one of three missed shots by the Heat in that span. The Rockets were up by nine soon after that when Harden launched a long alley-oop to Howard, who barely grabbed it in time to sail over Chris Bosh for the dunk. Howard picked up a foul with about 5 minutes left in the first half when he ran into James as he was driving to the basket, causing him to lose control of the ball, which bounced off James mask. A reverse layup by James and a free throw by Wade in the last 20 seconds of the first half cut Houstons lead to 53-52 at halftime. The Rockets jumped out to a 7-0 lead and were up 39-32 at the end of the first quarter. NOTES: Hall of Fame centre Hakeem Olajuwon, and Houston Texans stars Andre Johnson and Arian Foster attended the game, as did Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and former Astros pitcher and seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens. ... James said the best compliments he received following his big game against Charlotte came from the two most important women in his life. "My mom and my wife saying how proud they were of me and that I never cease to amaze them," he said. "So its always great when your family gives you that type of gratitude and response." ' ' '
