BARI, Italy -- In 10 seconds, Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers got all the feedback he wanted from the two assistants examining video replays in a truck outside the stadium.Instead of sending off France defender Djibril Sidibe for a hard foul into the left leg of Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi three minutes into a friendly, Kuipers pulled out a yellow card instead.Its exactly what FIFA was hoping for from video assistance tests for referees -- keeping interruptions to a minimum and maintaining the flow of play.The feedback I got in just 10 seconds convinced me to give a yellow instead of sending off the player, Kuipers said Friday, a day after Frances 3-1 win.FIFA President Gianni Infantino hopes video assistant referees will be used at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.Last night a page of football history was written, said Infantino, who attended the match in Bari. Finally, after years of words, weve moved on to facts.Experiments are also being held in national club competitions this season, including Australias A-League, the Bundesliga, the league and cups in Portugal, Major League Soccer, and Serie A.Video replay officiating would be restricted to decisions on goals being scored, penalties being awarded, players being sent off, and cases of mistaken identity.The only technology currently used in soccer is to rule on disputed goals.We can no longer allow the entire world to see something big where the only one who cant see it, because its not permitted, is the referee, Infantino said.Kuipers also relied on video assistance when Italy protested for a perceived handball by Layvin Kurzawa following a header from De Rossi in the first half.I noticed that the players accepted the decisions more calmly, Kuipers said. Its better for everyone, even for the refs so theyre calmer and surer of themselves.The test was considered semi-live because Kuipers did not review any replays on the field.FIFA has not introduced on-site screen reviewing yet. Instead, Kuipers was assisted through radio communications.Getting back to the Sidibe foul, Kuiper recounted how Italys players were demanding a red card.So I had the moment to speak to the VAR, he gave me the input to give a yellow and the players accepted it, Kuipers said. (Giorgio) Chiellini for example said, `Clear rosso, rosso (red), and I said, `Its a yellow card. Its enough. So they accept it and its finished.

A day before her 23rd birthday, Dipa Karmakar became the first Indian to qualify for the apparatus finals in an Olympic gymnastics competition, after she finished eighth in the qualifiers of the vault event.?Im happy but wish I could have done a bit better, Dipa said. In practice, I perform way better than this.Dipa, who is taking part in her first ever Games, scored 14.850 points from her two vaults at the Rio Olympic Arena on Sunday afternoon, which temporarily placed her at sixth. She then had to wait for nearly five hours for 38 other competitors to finish their vaults, before her qualification was secure. There were some nervous moments towards the end of the qualifiers when Canadas Olsen Shallon pushed Dipa down to the eighth, the last qualifying spot.?As the Produnova vault was the first thing I attempted today and it did not go as expected, it immediately put me in a bad mood, Dipa said. It wasnt very good. I was hoping for a better score from the first vault and because it was low. I was really disappointed. My landing had been better in training. My hip touched the mat today which wasnt in the plans. That I have reached the final is an amazing achievement.USAs Simone Biles, the three-time world champion, topped the qualifying round with a score of 16.050. The top eight gymnasts will now compete in the individual apparatus finals on August 114.dddddddddddd.Simone Biles came up to me and wished me luck to do well in Produnova, Dipa said. She is like a star to me and difficult to think of standing beside her. Im so overwhelmed.At the Olympic Games, Dipa was to compete in exactly the same two vaults as she did at the worlds: the first being the front handspring double somersault (the Produnova) with a D-(difficulty) score points value of 7 and the second, a Tsukahara stretched double twist (also known as the Zamolodchikova) with a D-score points value of 6. Dipa scored 15.100 in the Produnova (7 for difficulty + 8.1 for Execution) and 14.6 in the Zamolodchikova (6 for difficulty + 8.6 for execution). During qualification, she was the only gymnast to successfully attempt the Produnova.?Dipa added that her coach, Bisweshwar Nandi, was very happy since she executed what he had taught her to do.Dipas total of 14.850 was better than her scores at the 2015 World Championship vault final in Glasgow where she finished fifth with 14.683, but could not nail as high a score in Rio off her first vault as she had done in Glasgow.In the all-round individual standing, Dipa finished 51st with 51.665 points in a field of 98 gymnasts. She did not enter the all-round competition. ' ' '
