IOC President Thomas Bach is visiting Qatar, where he discussed the gulf states preparations for the 2022 World Cup and its treatment of migrant workers. Tanoh Kpassagnon Chiefs Jersey . Bach met Tuesday with Qatari sports leaders, including Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad-Al Thani, the emir of Qatar who is an IOC member and head of Qatars national Olympic committee. The International Olympic Committee says in a statement that the men discussed the World Cup, and the emir "outlined a number of measures being taken by the local authorities regarding recent issues relating to the workforce and their conditions." Qatar has come under criticism from labour unions and human rights groups for its treatment of migrant labourers involved in World Cup projects. The IOC says Bach also visited an anti-doping laboratory which is expected to be accredited soon by the World Anti-Doping Agency. The IOC did not say whether Bach and the Qataris discussed another possible Doha bid for the Olympics. Doha, which failed to make the short list of finalists for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, is considered a potential candidate for the 2024 Games. Bach, who travelled to Doha from Kuwait, will wrap up his three-country trip with a visit to Saudi Arabia. Tanoh Kpassagnon Youth Jersey . Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks were proof of that on Wednesday night. Kareem Hunt Youth Jersey . "Uuufff," was all shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria could come up with after Stantons latest mammoth shot.Australian amateur Curtis Luck and compatriot Lucas Herbert shot five-under-par 67s for a share of the lead as Jordan Spieth struggled with his putting in the opening round of the Australian Open. Luck, the US and Asia-Pacific amateur champion, mixed seven birdies with two bogeys to upstage playing partners Spieth (69) and former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy (70) after their early morning tee-off at a sunny Royal Sydney.World No 5 Spieth managed just one birdie on his front nine but three more after the turn kept him well in contention despite a bogey after driving through the green on his penultimate hole. A share of eighth, two shots off the pace, was a satisfactory return for the American as he re-tuned his putter after a six-week break.I made a couple of putts from outside of five or six feet but that was it, said the 23-year-old.But theyll start falling and once a couple do and I start finding that confidence, the hole looks a bit bigger, thats when we can really open the floodgates.I certainly believe in my ability the rest of this week. I didnt find the hole to be very big today. Adam Scott endured a frustrating opening day at Royal Sydney Adam Scott missed out on a chance of a second Australian Open title when Rory McIlroy pipped him on the final hole the last time the tournament was played at Royal Sydney in 2013.Thursday was another disappointing day for the world No 7 - nothing was good about that round was his verdict - turning around at one under before four bogeys and two birdies on the back nine left him with a one-over 73.Luck is one of a string of up-and-coming amateur Australians looking to join Scott and world No 1 Jason Day in the top ranks of the game and he was clearly not intimidated by being grouped with two Major winners.

Patrick Mahomes II Womens Jersey. I think every child at some point has a few little issues with controlling their anger, but its something Ive got really good at, said Luck, who rebounded with birdies on three of his last four holes.Herbert, who only got his invitation to play after a cheeky tweet to organisers last weekend, hit five birdies after the seventh in a flawless round that could have given him the outright lead had he not missed a birdie putt at the last. Lucas Herbert sets the early pace alongside Luck It was also a matter of what might have been for Australian veteran and Royal Sydney member Peter OMalley, who chipped in from a bunker to take a share of the lead at the 14th but dropped back after finding the trees at the 18th.OMalleys 68 gave him a share of third place with New Zealander Ryan Fox, New Zealand-based German David Klein and fellow Australians Ben Clementson and Adam Burdett.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!
