Dont try to convince Carlton AFL coach Brendon Bolton theres any merit in close losses.His side gave flag contender Sydney a mighty scare before the Swans scraped home by six points at the SCG on Saturday.Boltons side lost by seven points to another competition heavyweight West Coast last week and he stressed he would never be satisfied with narrow defeats against more favoured clubs.I dont think thats performance mindset, Bolton said.If you think that way you always give always give yourself an out.We will always recognise and acknowledge and should enjoy the growth of a team and individuals.We think weve made plenty on that front, but it can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy being honourable when you lose.He was pleased with their effort and tackling against Sydney.The Blues face another stiff challenge next week against Hawthorn, Boltons former club who he will coach against in an AFL game for the first time.(Recently) weve played against some teams (West Coast and Sydney) that have been in grand finals in the last few years, next week were going to another team in Hawthorn, who have been in grand finals, Bolton said.Its great to benchmark our team against those and we keep embracing the challenges.Well have another one next week.He doesnt expect to have Charlie Curnow available, with the player to undergo scans on a knee injury.He didnt finish the game which is never a great sign, so hell miss some weeks, but how many Im not sure, Bolton said.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Christian Reitz was thrilled to watch his teammates win Olympic gold the previous two days, hoping he could keep Germanys shooting string going.But whatever they did before was going to have no impact on his final. Reitz still had to shoot well on his own, regardless of what momentum his country might have.He did just that, extending Germanys shooting gold medal streak to three days.Reitz hit 34 of 40 targets, including all five on his final turn, to capture gold in the mens 25-meter rapid fire pistol Saturday at the Rio de Janeiro Games.Jean Quiquampoix of France earned silver, and Li Yuehong of China captured bronze.Its good for the other shooters and medals for us, Reitz said. Its maybe a little bit easier, but the fight against me in the competition is the same.Reitz earned a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games and followed with a sixth-place finish in London.He was one of the favorites heading into Rio after run of strong finishes in World Cup events, including a victory in Azerbaijan in June. The world-record holder had strong qualifying sessions, setting an Olympic record with 596 targets over two stages.Reitz opened the first competition stage by hitting all five targets in four seconds but began having trouble hitting the second target as the competition progressed.He still managed to move atop the standings after the fifth round of five shots and closed out gold by hitting his final five targets. Knowing Quiquampoix could not catch him on his final series, Reittz removed his headphones and glasses then pumped his fist at his coach.ddddddddddddReitzs gold continues Germanys domination in rapid fire pistol at the Olympics. Behind Ralf Schumann, considered his countrys greatest shooter, Germany has won four gold medals and six overall in the event since the 1992 Barcelona Games.Thats a gold and a bronze for the 29-year-old Reitz, putting him in position to follow in the footsteps of Schumann. He still has a long way to go, though; Schumann won three golds and two silvers in rapid fire.Maybe. Well see in the future, said Reitz, who works for the German police force.The 20-year-old Quiquampoix reached the final round after a three-round shoot-off with Li. Both shooters hit 27 shots in the final and eight of 10 in the first two rounds of the shoot-off. Quiquampoix moved on after hitting four to Lis three in the third round.Quiquampoix needed Reitz to falter on his final series, but the German hit all five. Quiquampoix hit four to capture Frances first shooting medal of the Rio Games.It represents a lot of sacrifices for myself and for my family, so this medal represents a lot to all of us, Quiquampoix said through an interpreter.Defending Olympic gold medalist Leuris Pupo of Cuba finished fifth after hitting 18 of 25 targets, and top-ranked Zhang Fusheng of China finished fourth after hitting one target on his sixth series.
