Tom Daley has leapt to the defence of the bizarre green Olympic diving pool that caused consternation during the final of the womens synchronised 10 metres platform final.Social media was overwhelmed by the sudden change of colour in the water at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre on Tuesday, with organisers suggesting the issue has been caused by a combination of factors which led to a chemical imbalance.However, Daley -- who won a bronze medal alongside Dan Goodfellow in the corresponding mens event on Monday -- has revealed that not only has he been assured the water is not harmful, it in fact helps him dive because it contrasts with the colour of the sky.The Briton told PA Sport: Weve been told the green water is completely safe.Its slightly strange to look at, with the water polo pool being crystal clear but the diving pool green. But it actually does make it easier for us to dive because normally, when youre spinning, its difficult to see which way is up when the sky and water are both blue.So when its green, it does make it slightly easier. Its nice and warm, too.Goodfellow was equally unconcerned.Weve been told by the doctors its safe, so Im sure it wont affect any of the diving events, he said.Water is water, isnt it? So its not going to affect our dives. The main thing is it wont make us ill.Reflecting on Mondays bronze medal in Rio, Goodfellow admits their achievement is yet to really sink in.It was emotional on the night, as people could see from the photographs of us and the big bomb into the pool. We were over the moon and so happy with how it went.Our hard work paid off. Its a bit of a relief, too. But on the whole it hasnt quite sunk in yet.He added: Weve only been diving together since last October, whereas some of the other teams in the competition who have been medalling since 2012 and even before that.So considering weve only spent 10 months working together, winning a medal in every competition weve done is really good. Its a combination of good teamwork and support from those around us. Seattle Mariners Pro Shop .

DENVER -- Gabriel Landeskog will think twice about engaging in fights with opposing goaltenders.The reason is painfully simple: That blocker hurts ... and hes got a mask to protect himself, the Colorado captain cracked.Soon after exchanging some shoves with Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk, Landeskog got the ultimate retaliation -- the winning goal. Landeskog scored with 9:37 remaining, Calvin Pickard stopped 32 shots for his second NHL shutout and the Avalanche beat the Minnesota Wild 1-0 on Saturday.It didnt come easy for us, thats for sure, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said.Nothing seems to these days for the Avalanche, who won for the second time in six games.Landeskogs power-play goal ended a Colorado scoring drought that lasted more than 164 minutes. He found the net on a pass from Matt Duchene and then hopped into the arms of Nathan MacKinnon in excitement.Earlier in the third period, Landeskog got into a brief scuffle with Dubnyk after agitating the goalie in front of the net. That seemed to swing the momentum into Colorados favor. A jarring hit by John Mitchell near the blue line didnt hurt, either.Those two instances energized our crowd, which energized us, Bednar said. You knew they were going to have a push.The Wild did at that.With Dubnyk on the bench for an extra skater, Charlie Coyle knocked in a shot with 48.9 seconds remaining, but it was disallowed because of goaltender interference. The officials ruled that Minnesota forward Eric Staal pushed Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson into Pickard.How good of call that was depends on the side thats asked.The goalie was in a terrible position, Staal said. We made a huge play on it. They gave them the benefit of the doubt on it.Pickard had a different take.You could see their guy kind of pushed E.J. into me, Pickard explained. I think thats the criteria for goalie interference -- doesnt let me do my job. I couldnt slide over there.Pickards most opportunistic save of the night was with 5 minutes remaining, when he closed his pads at the last second to save a shot from trickling in.dddddddddddd.It was a big save for me, said Pickard, whose other shutout was Jan. 14 against New Jersey. We had a really good game all the way through.Dubnyk mixed it up Landeskog after the two were jostling in front of the net early in the third period. Dubnyk put Landeskog in a headlock as players raced over to separate them. Dubnyk was called for slashing and roughing while Landeskog drew only a roughing penalty. The Avalanche didnt score on the power play chance.I gave him a whack and he gave me a whack and we gave each other a few shots and somehow I ended up with one, said Dubnyk of drawing the extra penalty. That seemed to be how they did the third period there. Not a big deal. Its always a tough game when we play these guys. Its part of the game. Theres emotion in the game.The Wild were called for two penalties on one play early in the second period. First, Ryan Suter slashed Blake Comeau with the Colorado forward on a breakaway. As Comeau went into the boards, Matt Dumba was whistled for a cross-checking penalty. Colorado a two-man advantage for a full two minutes, but never challenged Dubnyk.Wild coach Bruce Boudreau wasnt pleased.I thought there were some pretty cheesy penalties out there, Boudreau said.Game notes Minnesota LW Zach Parise and D Marco Scandella both missed a third game with lower-body injuries. ...
