Queen Elizabeth II is to step down as patron of Wimbledon after more than 60 years and is handing over the role to Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.It has been announced by Buckingham Palace that Britains monarch plans to relinquish similar associations with more than 20 U.K. organisations at the end of the year; she will pass many on to other members of the royal family.The changes will have an impact on six other British sporting bodies: the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), Rugby Football Union (RFU), Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), British Cycling Federation, and the Rugby Football League (RFL).The Queen, who celebrated her 90th birthday last April, has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), which hosts Wimbledon, since 1952.She last visited the grand slam in 2010, when she met past and present players, including Andy Murray, Martina Navratilova, Roger Federer, the Williams sisters, and Billie Jean King, as well as ball boys, girls, and officials.By contrast, the Duchess of Cambridge has been regularly seen in recent years at The Championships.We would like to thank Her Majesty for her long and unwavering service during her time as our Patron, said Philip Brook, chairman of the AELTC. We remain immensely proud of her role in the history of the club and The Championships.Buckingham Palace said in a statement: At the end of the Queens 90th birthday year, Her Majesty will step down as patron from a number of national organisations. The patronages will be passed on to other members of the Royal Family in the coming months.This decision follows the example set by the Duke of Edinburgh, who resigned from a number of patronages on the occasion of his 90th birthday in 2011.Prince Harry will become patron of the RFU and RFL.*Press Association Sport contributed to this reportRafael Camacho Liverpool Jersey .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.footballliverpoolstore.com/Women-Adam-Lallana-Liverpool-Jersey/ . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations.

Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.ST. LOUIS -- As the season resumed following a four-day break for the All-Star Game, the San Diego Padres authored perhaps the weekends most stunning result.After losing its first nine meetings with the San Francisco Giants, San Diego broke out the brooms at Petco Park with 4-1, 7-6 and 5-3 wins. It tagged losses on All-Stars Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto, while pounding Jeff Samardzija for five runs in five innings on Saturday night.I think weve grown, Padres manager Andy Green told the San Diego Union-Tribune after Sundays defeat of Cueto. You watch Wil (Myers) work a walk against Cueto and celebrate it like he hit a home run. He made a great pitcher work and we werent necessarily doing that earlier in the year.Having humbled the team with the majors top record, the Padres (41-51) start a four-game series Monday night in St. Louis, a place where their winning streaks normally go to die.Since Busch Stadium opened in its third incarnation in 2006, San Diego is 10-24 there, its only series wins happening in 2006 and 2011. It also was eliminated from the National League Division Series there in 2006.However, Busch has been anything but home sweet home for the Cardinals this year. After a 6-3 loss Sunday to Miami, St. Louis (47-44) fell to 20-28 in the stadium where it was 55-26 a year ago.Whats more, the loss dropped the Cardinals two games behind the Marlins and New York Mets for the final NL wild-card spot, while keeping them eight games back of the Chicago Cubs in the Central Division.St. Louis hitters fanned a season-high 15 times Sunday, four by Randal Grichuk and three by Tommy Pham, whose frustration may have boiled over in a postgame rant about the strike zone of plate umpire Marvin Hudson.ddddddddddddhe strike zone was horrible, man, Pham said. I mean, the guy had no sense of the inside part of the plate or the outside part of the plate. He needs to be held accountable. Its a guy with a lot of years in the league, you know what Im saying? Itd be different if it were called both ways, but it wasnt.While Pham might have to make out a check to MLB for those remarks, the Cardinals are hoping to cash in on this series against an opponent they beat two out of three in late April at Petco Park, scoring 19 runs in the process.St. Louis starts Mike Leake (6-7, 4.14), whos coming off one of his best outings of the year July 10 in a 5-1 win at Milwaukee. Leake fanned a season-high 10 and walked none in seven innings, recording eight strikeouts on his slider.The Padres counter with left-hander Christian Friedrich (4-5, 4.50), who has lost his last three starts and allowed 12 runs in 15 innings despite fanning 19 and walking three.On Tuesday night, the Cardinals Carlos Martinez (8-6, 2.85) matches up with Colin Rea (5-3, 4.95). San Diegos Andrew Cashner (4-7, 5.05) pitches against Jaime Garcia (6-6, 4.11) on Wednesday night, with St. Louis Adam Wainwright (9-5, 4.15) going up against Luis Perdomo (3-4, 7.36) in Thursday evenings series finale.
