Legendary Australian swimming coach Forbes Carlile -- his countrys oldest Olympian -- has died at age 95.Carlile first coached the Australian swimming team at the London Olympics in 1948, before competing in the modern pentathlon himself in Helsinki in 1952.In doing so, he became the only Australian to first coach at and then compete in the Olympics.In his later coaching career, Carlile played a key role in producing a number of notable Australian swimmers, including Shane Gould, Karen Moras and Terry Gathercole.Under Carlile, a 15-year-old Gould won five individual medals, including three gold, at the 1972 Munich Olympics.While working with Carlile, Gould also held world records in all five freestyle distances as well as the 200-meter individual medley.Carliles death was confirmed by The Australian Swim Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA) on Tuesday.It is with great sadness that ASCTA announce the passing of our legend and Number One swimming coach, Forbes Carlile, a statement said.For many years, Forbes Carlile was an integral member of the ASCTA Conference and was always seated in the front row beside his wife Ursula.He will be sadly missed by the whole swimming community.The ASCTA also credited him with changing the way swimmers trained.His pioneering work on elite athlete training methods included interval workouts, pace clocks and log books, heart rate tests, training under stress and T Wave studies of the ventricles, the ASCTA said.He developed techniques such as even-paced swimming and the use of two-beat kicks for long-distance events.Carlile was inducted into the Australian Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.Only last week he became Australias oldest living Olympian, when former fencer Helen Joy Hardon died on the Central Coast. She was two days older than Carlile. Ross Stripling Youth Jersey .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.

LOUIS -- A group seeking to build a new soccer stadium in St. Louis postponed its Tuesday meeting with a state finance board, one day after Missouris governor-elect expressed strong opposition to public financing for the project.Principles of the group SC STL were to meet with the Missouri Development Finance Board over a request to approve $40 million in state tax credits for the proposed $200 million downtown stadium, the centerpiece of the effort to attract a Major League Soccer expansion team.The postponement followed a statement released by Republican Gov.-elect Eric Greitens on Monday in which he called public funding for the stadium nothing more than welfare for millionaires.SC STL chairman Paul Edgerley said the group hopes to meet with Greitens to fully understand his position and outline the projects benefits.While we were disappointed in the statement yesterday by Governor-Elect Greitens, we respect that he and others may differ from our views, Edgerley said in a statement. We continue to believe in the substantial economic and other benefits of this project to the State and to the City of St. Louis.Greitens said in a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the groups decision to withdraw, at least for now, the request for state financing is great news for Missouri taxpayers.As I said yesterday, Im opposed to taxpayer funding for the soccer stadium, something I view as welfare for millionaires, Greitens said. Im looking forward to meeting with the ownership group to discuss a plan to bring private investment and jobs to Missouri.Outgoing Goov.dddddddddddd Jay Nixon has expressed support for public funding, as has St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, a fellow Democrat. In addition to state tax credits, the stadium is contingent on St. Louis voters approving $80 million in public funding in an April vote. The city would own the stadium and lease it to the MLS team in a 30-year agreement.Nixon told The Associated Press he believes it is unfair to characterize a process that will involve at least three public votes as backroom deals, as Greitens did in his statement on Monday.I dont consider being a partner in capitalism where it can make a difference -- especially on site preparation -- to be welfare for anybody, Nixon said. I consider it economic development.Edgerley cited a study that suggested the stadium project would produce a net positive economic impact for the state, creating more than 400 permanent jobs and generating tax revenue that would exceed the states investment, while adding an important element to help revitalize downtown.Were hopeful that Gov. Elect Greitens, who campaigned on a pro-business platform, will welcome the opportunity to learn more about the upside of the project for the state and city alike, Edgerley said.Plans for the downtown stadium were announced in November. The MLS has expressed interest in St. Louis as a potential expansion site, but only if a stadium is built.---AP reporter David A. Lieb in Jefferson City, Missouri, contributed to this report. ' ' '
