"U.S. sprinter and Olympic gold medalist Tory buoy dies at 32. By pat Graham, Associated Press. Tori buoy, the sprinter who won three Olympic medals at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro games has died. She was 32. Buoy's death was announced Wednesday by her management company and U.S. track and field. No concept of death was given. USA TF is deeply saddened by the passing of Tory buoy, a three time Olympic medalist and two time world champion, USA track and field CEO max Siegel, said in a statement. A talented athlete, her impact on the sport is immeasurable. And she will be greatly missed. According to the Orange County sheriff's office in Orlando, Florida, deputies responded Tuesday afternoon to a home in the area for a well-being check of a woman in her 30s who had not been seen or heard from in several days. The sheriff's office wrote that a woman tentatively identified as Tory buoy, date of birth, 8 27, 1990, was found dead in the home. There were no signs of foul play. Growing up in sandhill Mississippi, buoy was coaxed into track as a teenager, and quickly rose up the ranks as a sprinter and long jumper. She attended southern Mississippi, where she swept the long jump NCAA championships at the indoor and outdoor events in 2011. Buoy turned in an electric performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she won silver in the 100 and bronze in the 200. She then ran the anchor leg on a four by 100 team with Tiana bartola, Allison Felix and English gardener to take gold. A year later, she won the 100 meters at the 2017 world championships in London. She also helped the four by 100 team to gold. She was a very enthusiastic, sparkling personality, said track coach Craig Poole, who worked with buoy early in her career, and again later. She was really fun to work with. Attracted field community mourned the loss of buoy on social media, Jamaican sprint sensation, Shelley Ann Fraser price, posted on Twitter. My heart breaks for the family of Tory buoy, a great competitor and source of light. Your energy and smile will always be with me. Rest in peace. Added U.S. hurdler, Lolo Jones, too young, gutted to hear about Tori buoy, incredible talent, a beautiful runner. I pray for the comfort of her family. Thank you for blessing us with her. The running community mourns an incredible loss. Brittany Reese, a three time Olympic medalist in the long jump road. I'm so heartbroken over this. You have made a lot of us proud thank you for representing our state of Mississippi like you did. RIP. Bowie was taken in by her grandmother as an infant after she was left at a foster home. She considered herself a basketball player and only reluctantly showed up for track. But buoy was a fast learner becoming a state champion in the 100th, 200 and long jump before going to college. Her first major international medal was a 100 meter bronze at worlds in 2015. After winning, she said, my entire life, my grandmother told me I could do whatever I set my mind to. In a post on Twitter, icon management included a picture of buoy holding up her hands in the shape of a heart. The management company wrote, we've lost a client, dear friend, daughter, and sister. Tory was a champion, a Beacon of light that shined so bright. We are truly heartbroken, and our prayers are with the family and.

James would play 11 years in Cleveland with a four year break in Miami where he impressed coach Eric spoelstra with his work in games and practice. He doesn't get bored with that process.

Depends i guess on your definition of nhl regular if it's as one of the top six defencemen on in any chill team. I don't see it personally. I just think when you've led a player that when you're talking about a bottom perry kind of role who doesn't really standout on on either special teams. And i know he's got experienced playing peking and utica and you've got a little bit of that opportunity in vancouver but that's not necessarily been a hallmark of his game. He doesn't really have you know when he's played these sheltered minutes. He hasn't really had standard offensive ability. He's not really the physical presence. That i think a lot of teams kinda covet. Lower down the lineup as well so while i think there are any tools in his game. It's tougher me this. what exactly. What exact identity. He's going to carve out if he's going to be an everyday. Nhl player unless the skating improves. Which has always been the the big question mark in recent history so for me. I could see him being perhaps a number seven number eight defenseman but as a regular nhl everyday player. Who's shooting for sixty seventy games I personally still skeptical. What did you make the contract yesterday. The one year deal for a league minimum seven hundred fifty kid. I think it makes sense for both sides. Obviously i think a lot of people looked at you. Love his cue. Oh at Just oh just shy of e seventy five k. And thought well. Why didn't he just take the problem. Will obviously with that is that it would have been to a deal and i think when you shape up a left side depth on vancouver's back end. There's pretty fierce competition after hewson or yell. There are three. i think. Horses in that race with hunt rathbone and you levian. Only two of those guys are gonna win job so by signing this deal. Yes he. he'll he'll only get the league minimum. But if you get sent down if it doesn't seem out of camp then he's guaranteeing himself in nhl paycheck as opposed to the two way contract where he hopes to move what lasts if you've got waived and sent down to the minors and then you know it's interesting to were obviously provides a team a little bit of benefit and By being the cheapest option of hunt eh. Rathbone enough celebi. He slightly enhances odds of of making the team in in what. I'm going to be really curious to see how the connects approaches situation.

Man and you know. I think that is ultimately like we only know fatherhood by what our fathers cables and some peop- some people don't have fathers. Some people had fathers. I mean it is a bell curve. Not oliver dad's were great ads. So it's a bell curve. And maybe your dad was that one in the ninety nine percentile But are they weren't And it didn't mean they didn't try didn't mean they didn't love you. It just means that they were also by the way making it up as they went along with way less resources so for me. You know the other pieces of devices other than like you get to be a dad. The way you want to be a bad is there are like i do. Look at resources like you know. I do look at things out there because there. There are great blogs or podcast. Like this that can that can give you more resources than just your instincts and And we're living in a world where you know especially as i think about a daughter. I think by the time where. I always have calendar where i wanted to you know either. Stay in shape or have guns one of the two. You know because of the boys coming to house go to our house and that was always the joke you know and i always said it jokingly but i've realized over time that that's actually a terrible way for me to think about it and my job is the be i don't need to be in shape not need a gun because this little girl is gonna be able to take care of herself and i'm not gonna need to be the one who's going to be a need to watch out for her she's gonna learn these things the hard way she's gonna learn these things easy way but you know.

And and you know maybe the friends parents will say along the lines of like well. You know her dad. The gold is so of course. He's going to do that or she's going to lose. And the friends will get in the car with the parents and the parents will say. Hey you beat that kid. who's you know. You know has an advantage because her down and olympic gold medalist. And i feel like she's you know. Where do you find that. That's the thing that worries me the most like where do you find that balance for them so that they can be their own person. Yeah you mentioned like the soccer field. I remember i was interviewing some members from the usa One in soccer team back when we were talking. She was coaching her daughter. We're talking about like how parents would come in and try and coach their kids during a timeout. When you're not even a coach. And i was like one of them says parents. Hey make sure blah goes here. And i'm like you won the world cup and yet you coach soccer never ends i just i can imagine when he you know again like we're all just trying. That's what you what. I realized once in once you have kids you realize i'm just trying to do what i think is best for them and like you know. Even that parents he's just trying their best Like and it may may be misguided and maybe whatever but ultimately you know you have to look at those things glasses half full because otherwise you know you just self crazy. I'm sure it's a coach like that. Man steve you have that glasses full mentality and one more thing before i get into the next few questions about fatherhood.

You're not gonna get through. I mean i would love that. Unfortunately unfortunately that often comes from my wife and it doesn't get digestive well by me as the reporter did. It's funny how that happens whether it's probably your wife. Did you say something to her. Then the for me and my family like my wife. And i will look at each other and she'll be like oh they just say they disagree. Because you're the one like out of the two. I might make more jokes. But i'm the sheriff in a little bit more lax with you and she's like. Oh yeah you're probably right. See always going back and forth with your spouse. I think it's funny just like we always think we have the answers because we're parents and we always thought our parents may be have the answers but as you get older it's like no you're kinda you know just trusting your instincts and all that but what is something that your daughter has taught you about yourself about life in general so much at this point at three and a half years old she i you know few things i mean..
