Australia at the Rio Olympics.Hens is the only member of the 18-strong national
shooting team entered in the womens 10m air rifle early on day one of full
competition at the Games on Saturday (local time).Australia has never produced
an Olympic medallist in the womens air rifle and there are a number of more
highly fancied athletes on the Australian team including rising double trap star
James Willett, trap shooter Mitchell Iles and veteran rifle shooter Warren
Potent.But Hens is not ruling out the possibility of causing an upset.I have the
technique to get it right on the day and anything can happen at the Olympics, so
yes, (my competitors) should be worried, the 30-year-old told the Blue Mountains
Gazette before departing for Rio.Hens is based in Germany where she balances her
shooting career with a full-time job as a science teacher.The other two
Australian shooters in action on Saturday are Daniel Repacholi and Blake
Blackburn in the mens 10m air pistol.The Australian shooting squad in Rio spans
the full range of the experience spectrum, all the way from 16-year-old Aislin
Jones to 54-year-old Potent, a bronze medallist eight years ago in Beijing who
is competing at his fifth straight Olympics.

THE SUNSET side of Tennessees ever-expanding football facility, high above the
practice fields, is the Peyton Manning Room. Accessible only to visiting
dignitaries and the biggest of boosters, the room is draped in accolades
bestowed upon the greatest of all Vols: Pro Bowl jerseys, his Super Bowl MVP
award, trophies named for Maxwell, OBrien and Unitas. Alas, there is one bronze
statue missing. Nearly two decades later, the absence of the Stiff-Armed One
still stings, and always will, because its inclusion once seemed so
inevitable.From the minute I announced I would come back for my senior year,
everywhere I went, class or a restaurant or wherever, people congratulated me on
winning the Heisman, Manning recalls now of the award that would go to Michigans
Charles Woodson. We were fortunate enough to get off to a nice start that year,
and it only got worse. So I always tried to politely remind them that I was
pretty sure they didnt give it out in September. They do it in December. And
December was still a long ways away.Manning wasnt the first September Heisman
victim, and he certainly wasnt the last. This years presumed winner, Louisville
quarterback Lamar Jackson, can ask Denard Robinson and Michigan fans about how
the quarterback led the nation in rushing over September. But Shoelace & Co.
lost five of their last seven regular-season games in 2010, and Cam Newton took
the stage in New York. Or he can ask the folks in West Virginia about Geno
Smith, who threw 20 TD passes and zero picks in September 2012 ... then fell out
of the race with five straight Big 12 losses. Or he could ask LSUs current
superstar. Leonard Fournette topped everyones Heisman rankings entering last
October, averaging 210 rushing yards per game, but averaged less than half that
in games against the SEC West in November and didnt get an invite to the
ceremony.Its a compliment, and you have to take it that way, Fournette says of
the buzz. But it can get out of control real fast. Ive used it as a lesson. What
I did last week doesnt matter; what I do this week does. I tell guys that all
the time -- not just on my team but anybody fortunate enough to get a little
hype.If Fournettes 2015 September was intoxicating, then Jacksons start to 2016
shouuldnt be street legal.dddddddddddd Through his first five games, he has 28
TDs (14 rushing and 14 passing), and his 2,313 yards of total offense leads the
nation.Hes on pace to reach 20 TDs through the air and 20 TDs via his feet by
Game 8. Only four players have hit that mark in a full season: Tim Tebow,
Newton, Johnny Manziel and Colin Kaepernick. The first three won Heismans. But
only Tebow shouldered the weight of being the cover boy for every preview
magazine. Newton and Manziel pulled off their magic past midseason, making
Heisman front-runners vanish into thin air.Ive always been glad that I got to
kind of ease into the spotlight, Newton says. Once I got into that spotlight, it
was tough. I cant imagine what it wouldve been like had it been like that from
the first day. By October youd already be exhausted.The guy Jackson most
resembles, Baylors Robert Griffin III, pulled away from Andrew Luck to win the
2011 Heisman despite three October losses. His November was too electrifying for
voters to ignore, especially his eight total TDs against Oklahoma and
Texas.Jacksons fan base at Louisvilles Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium still smarts
over the buzz and bust of Teddy Bridgewater in 2013 (thanks, Central Florida).
The Cardinals went 12 -- 1 that year, but that lone stumble to one-loss UCF was
enough to sink him.Jacksons play is so dynamic that even a 42 -- 36 loss in the
closing seconds to Clemson and its trophy contender, Deshaun Watson, may have
only burnished his shine. On the road, Jackson threw for 295 yards and a
touchdown and rushed for 162 yards and two scores. Since 2011, only one Heisman
winner, FSU QB Jameis Winston in 2013, has played on an undefeated team. And
over that span, Heismans have gone to three players with two or more losses.
Jackson will have to maintain his level of play against a better-than-expected
ACC and in Houston against a Cougars team with the nations No. 3 scoring defense
(11.2 ppg).My goal is to win games, the 19-year-old sophomore says. In September
thats what we did, and Im glad people recognized that. Now I hope they recognize
us in December too. Not me, us.And if Jackson wins the Heisman, maybe Papa John
will let Peyton Manning hold it. ' ' '
