Rielly and Roman Polak in front before beating Andersen.The Ducks

If desperately trying to hold on to my youth has taught me anything, its that a near daily check-in is required to stay on top of whats in. In a blink, Snapchat took over the social media landscape for the young and hip, leaving twenty- and thirtysomethings scrambling to figure out how to turn our tongues into rainbows and light our heads on fire.Mom jorts are somehow still in, man buns are already out and I should apparently be listening to more K-pop. We hated Justin Bieber, but now we love him -- or at least his music. We hated Taylor Swift, but now we love her -- except maybe I think were supposed to hate her again. Someone check Kim Kardashians app and let me know. Orange is the New Black, Hiddleston is the new Harris and Pokemon is going to get us all robbed.?I guess Heidi Klum is right: One day you are in, the next you are out. No one knows that better than Olympic athletes, who toil away in relative obscurity for years so they can enjoy the biggest stage in the world for one week, one day, sometimes just a few seconds. And then the spotlight is gone again and its back to work, or, for many, the reality of a future without that Olympic goal four years away.There are a few athletes every go-round that do manage to capture Americas heart and hang on, turning their crowning athletic achievement into years of endorsements, commercials and speaking engagements. The mere mention of these folks conjures up patriotic fever dreams of bald eagles, perfectly grilled hot dogs and Ralph Lauren blazers. Im talking about the Mary Lou Rettons, Jackie Joyner-Kersees and Michael Phelpses of the world -- athletes forever etched in our minds.There are other?athletes who never reach that kind of Olympic-recognition zenith, but who can still parlay their moment of Games glory into a pretty great career -- maybe even a stint on Dancing With The Stars. This summer well see the return of some big names -- like Phelps, Alex Morgan, Missy Franklin and Gabby Douglas -- but also some fresh new faces poised to steal our hearts -- and a future cover of People magazine.Lets take a guess at which Rio stars might become our new American heroes -- or at the very least be doing the paso doble with Val Chmerkovskiy come September.Simone Biles: With a gold in Glasgow last year, Biles became the first woman to win three straight all-around world titles. Theres a ton of hype for the 19-year-old heading into Rio, including former Olympic all-around champion Nastia Liukin calling her the best gymnast who ever lived. Since winning the U.S. all-around title in August 2013, shes won every all-around competition shes entered -- 11 straight. Successful U.S. womens gymnasts tend to make the most out of their time in the Olympic spotlight, so its safe to say Biles could be on her way to American hero status.Miles Chamley-Watson and Ibtihaj Muhammad: Chances are the only fencing youve seen in the past four years has involved light sabers and that brooding dude from Girls in a creepy mask. Well, en garde, because youre about to meet two of the most intriguing athletes at this years Olympics. Chamley-Watson is a part-time model with bleached hair and tattoos who regularly posts shirtless snaps to his Instagram and calls his fencing peers vanilla and super boring. Muhammad is a New Jersey native who will make history as the first U.S. woman to compete wearing a hijab. Shes funny and outspoken and will no doubt be the focus of a lot of attention during this divisive time in our country. Shes more than able to turn her Olympic platform into something truly inspiring.Katie Ledecky: At just 15 years old Ledecky shocked even her U.S. teammates, winning Olympic gold in the 800 meters in London. Since then shes set 11 world records and won every major international competition shes entered. She heads to Rio with world records in the 400, 800 and 1,500 freestyle. In USA Today, 11-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte said of Ledecky, I guarantee in Rio everyones mouths are going to drop during one of her races. Shes going to do a time where everyones going to be like, What the heck just happened?Adeline Gray: Ever since her first wrestling class at age 6, Gray has been a natural. As a girl she fought attempts to keep her off the boys teams and won a lot of matches via forfeit when the guys werent willing to fight her. As womens wrestling grows, she gets to be the kind of role model that she didnt have growing up. After baring all in ESPN The Magazines Body Issue, the 25-year-old is ready to leave it all on the mat in Rio. If fans get a chance to hear much from Gray, theyll fall in love instantly. Her skill, wisdom and charm could make her a star.Kanak Jha: Table tennis doesnt usually get much play during prime-time coverage of the Olympics, but you can bet there will be a feature or two on Jha in the coming weeks. A 16-year-old out of the Bay Area, hes the youngest Olympian on the U.S. team and was the first athlete born in the 2000s to qualify. While his path to the podium seems even tougher than Stephen Colberts at last weeks Democratic National Convention (Jhas currently ranked 272nd in the world), hes sure to get plenty of attention in his first trip to the Olympics. And at the very least he can probably show the older athletes how to turn on two filters at once on Snapchat.***This episode of the Thats What She Said podcast features award-winning USA Today columnist Christine Brennan calling in from Rio. Just a few hours after landing at the site of the upcoming Olympics, Brennan shares her first impressions of the city and whether it feels ready for the ultimate global spotlight. Brennan is covering her 17th straight Olympics and lends her perspective on the many concerns heading into this years event.Thanks as always for tuning in -- you can catch a new episode every Tuesday.

Cheap Glenn Robinson Jersey . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday. TORONTO -- Ducks coach Randy Carlyle wasnt exactly sentimental after winning his first game back in Toronto.Cam Fowler scored a power-play goal in the third period, lifting Anaheim over the Maple Leafs 3-2 on Monday night. Carlyle was at Air Canada Centre for the first time since he was dismissed as Leafs coach almost two years ago.I think a lot of people have made a bigger deal out of it (than I have), Carlyle said. From a personal standpoint, yeah its nice, but the bottom line is our hockey club needed the win more than I needed the win and thats really why were here.Carlyle coached almost 200 regular season games for Toronto, leading the club to its only playoff appearance since 2004. He was fired in January 2015 with the team sliding.After sitting out last season, Carlyle returned to coach the Ducks for a second time this past summer.Despite his assertions otherwise, players in the Ducks dressing room believed the win had extra meaning for him.Were all a family in here so we know what it means to him, captain Ryan Getzlaf said. Theres always a little bit of an edge that you want to win that game.Anaheim had a pair of power-play goals, including Fowlers go-ahead score. Ryan Getzlaf had the other man-up tally, and Nick Ritchie also scored for the Ducks. John Gibson made 33 saves.Former Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen made 25 stops for the Leafs. Auston Matthews got his ninth goal in 12 games, and Nazem Kadri scored his 11th of the season.Toronto went ahead in the first period when Zach Hyman helped free the puck loose from Getzlaf along the wall. Nikita Zaitsevs point shot was then redirected by Matthews with one hand on his stick.It was Matthewss team-leading 15th goal of the year. He sits second among NHL rookies in goals (15) and points (24), trailing only Winnipegs Patrik Laine.I thought he was our best player, Leafs coachh Mike Babcock said.dddddddddddd I thought he was really good.Andersen was sharp facing his former team for the first time since a summer trade from Anaheim. He made a right pad stop on Rickard Rakells redirection in the opening moments of the second, then came up with two stops on a Ducks rush later in the period. He later shut down a break for Getzlaf and Corey Perry, setting himself square to Perrys chance from in tight.Getzlaf tied it at 1 with less than two minutes to go in the middle frame. It was an awkward power-play goal, his shot caroming off the legs of Leafs defenders Morgan Rielly and Roman Polak in front before beating Andersen.The Ducks went ahead after barely one minute had gone by in the third. The play started when William Nylander turned the puck over trying to make a move around an Anaheim player at his own blue-line. Ondrej Case eventually set up Ritchie in front for his eighth goal of the year.Toronto had an opportunity to tie it on a power play shortly after, but Gibson came up big when required. He made an emphatic glove stop of Kadri and then got in front of Matthewss one-time attempt in the slot.It was a strange shot that ultimately beat Gibson and evened the score at two, with Kadri whipping a shot from the point that banged off the leg of former Leaf Korbinian Holzer in front.Fowler put the Ducks back in front with less than seven minutes left in the third. Ryan Kesler won the faceoff, setting up Fowler for the one-time shot.Game notes Toronto went 0 for 3 with the power play. ... Toronto pulled Andersen with just under three minutes left in regulation, but could not tie the game.UP NEXTDucks: Play at Montreal on Tuesday night.Maple Leafs: Play at Colorado on Thursday night.
