It has been six years since Canadian shot putter Dylan Armstrong just missed the Olympic podium and over a year since the Belarusian who beat him for the bronze medal was banned from the sport for life. Armstrongs long wait for Olympic glory is about to end. The official record from the mens shot put competition at the 2008 Beijing Games will now show that Armstrong finished in third place instead of fourth. The change was made this week after the International Olympic Committee recognized the IAAF sanction given to Andrei Mikhnevich, who tested positive in retests of his doping sample from the 2005 world championships. Armstrong may have been denied his podium appearance at the Birds Nest Stadium, but hes thrilled that hell eventually be presented with the medal in his home country. "Just getting a medal and receiving it at home is truly amazing," Armstrong said Thursday from Vancouver. "Even though the moment in Beijing would have been an absolutely amazing moment, its still very satisfying to know that Im going to get it and receive it on home soil." Armstrong will receive the medal at a later date. Plans have not been finalized but he hopes the ceremony will be held in his hometown of Kamloops, B.C. Tomasz Majewski of Poland won gold in Beijing with a throw of 21.51 metres and American Christian Cantwell took silver with a throw of 21.09 metres. Armstrong initially finished fourth with a throw of 21.04 metres, just one centimetre behind Mikhnevich. "Its definitely the most important medal that Ive achieved," Armstrong said on a conference call. "That being said, its kind of like the big ticket. I can use this now to inspire younger athletes, keep kids out of trouble and help them achieve their goals, especially in my community. "Really give kids hope, thats what Im about. Ive always been a big supporter of athletics in Canada." Mikhnevich had already served a two-year suspension for a doping offence so the positive test from 2005 resulted in a lifetime ban. Last years sanction from the IAAF -- the world governing body for track and field -- annulled his results dating back to August 2005. The placings from several events had to be adjusted. Armstrong was also retroactively awarded the bronze medal from the 2010 world indoor championships after Mikhnevich was stripped of his silver medal from that competition. He received the world indoor medal first as it only needed rubber stamping from the IAAF. The Olympic bronze was a longer process as it needed to go through both the IAAF and the IOC. "Justice has been made," said COC president Marcel Aubut. The 33-year-old Armstrong said hes proud that he was able to stay positive during the long process. He added that he has always been determined to set a good example for others. "We can say, Hey, look. Dylan Armstrong did it. He did it clean. He stood by it his whole career," Armstrong said. "And hopefully people can see that and relate to that. And parents can tell their kids, Look, we can do this. "Your kids can do this clean." The Canadian has battled elbow problems since a disappointing fifth-place finish at the 2012 London Games. Hes hoping to return to the Olympics for a third time at the 2016 Games in Rio. Armstrongs bronze brings Canadas total medal haul to 19 (three gold, nine silver and seven bronze) from the Beijing Games.

The difference this time is that Yost will have a chance to stick around. The Royals and Yost agreed to a two-year contract extension Tuesday after wrapping up an 86-76 season, the best finish for the franchise in 24 years. Yosts contract was set to expire after the season, though both sides had expressed a desire for the manager to remain on board. "Our main goal is to win the World Series, but we took a major step this year," Yost said. "We finished 10 games over .500. That was huge for us. That was a big step." The next big step is to make the playoffs, something that Yost had the Brewers on the verge of when he was fired in 2008. He eventually landed in Kansas City and became the interim manager in 2010, and then lost more than 90 games each of his first two full seasons in charge. His biggest task then was to help develop one of the youngest rosters in baseball, and the work began to pay off this year. The Royals rebounded from a disastrous May to go 43-27 after the All-Star break, and werent eliminated from wild-card contention until their penultimate series. "Milwaukee was a great experience for me, like May was a good experience for our team," Yost said. "Im thankful for that opportunity because it made me stronger. It made me a better manager. The May we went through, it made us better, it made us stronger, because we endured it, and we were better for it the rest of the year." Yost, who is 741-831 in 10 seasons as a manager, held off on discussing a new contract until after the season. It came together quickly on Monday. "When you have something good you need to stick with it," outfielder Alex Gordon said after the final game, "and I think thats what we have. We have a good manager that gels well with the guys on this team and we all have a good relationship." Yosts two-year deal creates a strange situation in the organization in that general manager Dayton Moore is only under contract through next season. Moore declined to discuss whetherr he will also seek an extension this off-season, saying only that hes "secure" with his situation.dddddddddddd "Im at peace about where I am and what weve done," Moore said. "Theres an emotion and an expectation and excitement around this group of players, and in a small way, I feel like weve won the World Series, because we have a fan base thats excited." Now that Yost is under contract, Moore will soon turn his attention to putting together a roster for next season. Most of the lineup will return intact, led by promising young players such as first baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvy Perez. But plenty of questions remain, starting with right field and what was one of the best starting rotations in the big leagues. The Royals cobbled together right field when Jeff Francoeur fizzled out, and David Lough and Justin Maxwell were platooning there late in the season. But Yost and Moore both have indicated they would like to add a bat with power to the lineup, and right field is the natural fit. In the rotation, Ervin Santana and Bruce Chen are both eligible for free agency. Santana may have priced himself out of the Royals with the best season of his career, but Moore said that he anticipates having the resources necessary to make a competitive bid to keep both pitchers. If that doesnt happen, Moore said that youngsters Yordano Ventura, Danny Duffy and Kyle Zimmer are prepared to compete for a starting job in spring training. "Every team has holes. We certainly are not immune to that," Moore said. "Well look at the areas where we can improve, but you can only improve with talent and opportunities available to you, and I have no idea what opportunities are going to be available going forward." Moore did say that he expects the Royals payroll, which was a franchise-record $81,241,725 on opening day, to remain the same or perhaps even increase next season. "You have a deep-pitted feeling in your stomach every year youre not in the playoffs," Moore said. "We want that for our fan base. We want that for our players in the worst way. So were going to continue to work to press the right buttons." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
