Dina Asher-Smith is unperturbed by the uncertainty surrounding the Zika virus which is threatening Brazil as the Olympics loom large. Zika, a virus carried by mosquitos, has been shown to cause microcephaly, a congenital condition associated with incomplete brain development and which results in abnormally small heads in babies of mothers infected while pregnant.Its full impact is uncertain, and Jessica Ennis-Hill may opt out of the Belo Horizonte training camp and delay her arrival in Brazil to reduce the risk of infection. There has also been academic advice that the Games should be cancelled or moved, while the World Health Organisation and the British Olympic Association are among those monitoring the situation.Asher-Smith has seen the reports on Zika, but is focused on running as fast as she can this summer.There is a small concern, but I dont know how great its going to be, the 20-year-old sprinter said. You cant live in fear of the unknown, otherwise you do nothing, just stay inside in your house.Everybodys not sure about the full extent of it, the long-term [impact]. Were still waiting to see what happens. You cant predict what something like thats going to do, the long-term consequences, because its popped up in the last six months.Im just going to keep going. Its the Olympics, it comes round every four years. Its really, really special and as an athlete thats where you want to perform. Jeff Carter Jersey .

The Arizona third baseman was ejected for the first time in his 933 big league games in the Diamondbacks 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night. "I was trying to make it to a thousand," he said. "I came up short." Manager Kirk Gibson was also tossed after he came out to argue following Prados ejection. "Prads not a hothead," Gibson said. "He said something I guess the home plate umpire didnt like." Paul Goldschmidt homered and Didi Gregorius had a pair of RBI singles for Arizona. Anthony Rizzo homered twice for the Cubs. Rizzo moved into a tie with Miamis Giancarlo Stanton for the NL home run lead at 22 with his sixth career multi-homer game, second this season. He homered twice at Milwaukee on May 31. Eury De La Rosa (1-0) gave up a run in one inning and got the win. Brian Schlitter (2-3) allowed a run in two-thirds of an inning for the loss. Prado was thrown out when he said something as he ran past plate umpire Cory Blaser after grounding out in the eighth. He had to be restrained by teammates after he was tossed. "Its part of the game. Theres a lot of emotions," Prado said. "I think I just overreacted, but the most important thing is we won the game. Guys were messing with me and said You have to get ejected every day." Catcher Miguel Monteros throwing error put a runner on third with one out in the ninth, but Addison Reed got out of it, getting Ryan Sweeney to pop out and fanning Welington Castillo for his 22nd save in 27 chances. The Diamondbacks Trevor Cahill, in his first start since April 13, allowed three runs on four hits in five innings. The left-handed batting Gregorius, 2 for 20 against lefties this season to that point, singled off left-hander Zac Rosscup to bring home what provedd to be the deciding run in Arizonas three-run sixth.dddddddddddd "The at-bat of the game," Prado said. Rizzo hit a two-run homer off Cahill far over the swimming pool area in right field in Chicagos three-run fourth. He added a booming solo shot to centre off De La Rosa in the sixth. The last player voted by fans onto the NL squad at the All-Star game, Rizzo is one homer shy of his total for last season. "That is cool," he said. " ... You want to keep on having good at-bats, not trying to hit home runs, just trying to hit the ball hard. " Ender Enciarte, just in the game as a defensive replacement in centre, ran down Rizzos shot to deep left-centre in the eighth. Gibson said David Peralta, shifted from centre to left, probably wouldnt have had the speed to get to the ball. Goldschmidts 17th home run was an opposite-field solo shot that barely cleared the fence in right and ended the night for Cubs starter Edwin Jackson. Cubs manager Rick Renteria said Jackson "kept us in the ballgame and Rizz had an All-Star night, two homers. "We didnt get a whole lot more after that, but even in the end we had a chance, but werent able to get that tying run in there," Renteria added. Cahill was demoted from the rotation to the bullpen after going 0-4 with a 9.17 ERA in his first four starts. The right-hander was designated for assignment on June 9, making one start for Class A Visalia and six for Triple-A Reno. "It felt good," he said. "Im competing at the highest level, starting, which Ive done my whole life. It was fun to be back out there and know I had the ball for as far as I could go." Notes: Arismendy Alcantara, in his sixth game since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, stole second twice. ... In the second game of the series Saturday night, the Cubs send Travis Wood (7-8, 4.96 ERA) to the mound against the Diamondbacks Wade Miley (5-6, 4.18).
