U.S. Olympic womens basketball team players reflected on a day filled with powerful and emotional moments at Carmelo Anthonys Monday town hall meeting in Los Angeles with community leaders, police officers and teenagers.Team USA and Minnesota Lynx guard Seimone Augustus discussed how recent police-related shootings in her hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had affected her. ?On July 5, a Baton Rouge police officer shot and killed Alton Sterling, a black man outside of a convenience store. Three police officers were also shot and killed in Baton Rouge on July 17.She knows that could have easily been someone she knew.I lived three or four blocks from where the [Sterling] incident happened, she said. Its always in the back of my mind that it could have been a relative, a friend, a teammate, a high school classmate.Shes sad to see what has happened to her hometown, where relations have broken down.?I have relatives in law enforcement as well. I dont want to see it happen either way. That could have been an uncle or cousin, Augustus said. I have plenty of relatives in (Baton Rouge) law enforcement. I dont know what we have to do to make it more proactive for the officers to be there in the communities to shrink the divide that is there.[The town hall meeting] was amazing, USA teammate Brittney Griner said. It was good to have officers come out, to have the community members come out and us as players come together and voice and answer questions. For the cops not to be forced to be there and be there on their own was special. To hear both sides and try to come to a common ground. When something good starts happening, good outcomes start happening.Griner can also see both sides. Her father was a police officer for many years in Houston. She also has other family members in law enforcement.I worry about my sister, I worry about my dad who wants to go back into law enforcement, Griner said. I told him if you do go back, Id rather you go behind a desk or teach. My dad was a good cop. I think more good cops should go back and give back that experience to the academy to help educate future police officers.Griner was saddened by all that has happened lately in Minnesota, Baton Rouge, Dallas and other cities.All the violence towards black lives saddens me, she said. We fight for freedom, we fight for equality. We fight for all these things, and were not holding up for what we stand for. Its a change that needs to happen.Griner and her Phoenix Mercury teammates, along with two other teams, were fined $500 by the league for wearing their plain black shirts because it was a uniform violation. That fine was later rescinded.The Minnesota Lynx started the social activism in the WNBA, wearing T-shirts and holding a pregame news conference earlier this month before the Mercury, Indiana Fever and New York Liberty wore their plain black shirts. Augustus said it was coach Cheryl Reeve who first had the idea to do something. Reeve is also an assistant with the U.S. Olympic team.The Lynx activism spread and galvanized the WNBA players.Thats what I am impressed about most, said Tamika Catchings, who spoke at the town hall. The fact that all 144 players in the WNBA came together on this issue and wanted to make sure their voices were heard. I think when you look at the power of African-American women and being able to step up and join causes and support other brothers, thats what its all about.While the WNBA is on break for August during the Olympics, the players will continue to try and come up with ideas to further show the importance of this issue. Just dont expect any sort of activism at the Olympics on the court. The International Olympics Committee frown upon any social activism displays, saying that the Games are not a place for proactive political or religious demonstrations.Right now, were focused on these two weeks, Diana Taurasi said.

YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Kimi Raikkonen says Ferrari has to be happy with fourth on the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix grid despite being pipped to third late in Q3.Raikkonen was third after the initial runs in Q3, but was relegated one position by Daniel Ricciardo in the closing seconds as the Red Bull driver crossed 0.015s quicker. Though he dropped a position on the second row, Raikkonen is focusing on the positives from a much-improved weekend for the Italian team.We had it for a while and the last lap was pretty OK but was nothing like very good, Raikkonen said. So the difference was very small so for sure that amount you can find in one braking here or there, but if you get sideways you lose that easily. It was there but this is what weve got so weve got to be happy with that. The car has been behaving well, its not an easy place to do a good lap so its not ideal but we tried at least.Red Bull has looked strong in the the tight and twisty final sector this weekend. When asked if the final sector was a problem for Ferrari, he replied: No. I think its been as good as the other sectors in feeling wise, but obviously I dont know, I havent seen the times.dddddddddddd.I think we did a pretty decent job, obviously not enough to be at the front but I think it was very close between third and fourth place. That little difference for sure it could have been a bit better here or there so I think it was a pretty OK two laps but not perfect. But this is what weve got today.Ricciardo will line up in front of Raikkonen with the super-soft tyre on, giving the Ferraris ultra-soft tyre a potential advantage off the ling thanks to extra grip. However, Raikkonen is unsure whether it will make a huge difference given the short run to Turn 1.Its hard to say. I dont think theres an awful lot of difference between those two tyres but who knows? I think its more important to make a good start, obviously there should be a small difference but like you said the distance is very short so we should try to make a good start and go from there.
