RIO DE JANEIRO -- For some at the Rio Games, theres gold, silver and bronze.Or perhaps theres Golduck, Shellder and Bulbasaur.Pokemon Go -- which has been available in some parts of the world, including the United States, for about a month -- has just now arrived in the Olympic host city of Rio de Janeiro. Available this week in Brazil for the first time, not coincidentally on the eve of the Rio Olympics, the game involves players using their smartphones to track down the virtual creatures.Ive never run this much in my life, said Gabriela Alves, a Rio native who had her phone out and was collecting Pokeballs -- a key component to the game -- in downtown Rio on Thursday. Is this what Olympians feel like?Well, maybe its what some of them feel like.It was a cause of some lament among Olympians who arrived in Rio to find that Pokemon Go wasnt there to greet them. U.S. diver and 2012 silver medalist Abby Johnston tweeted that the worst thing about the Olympic village was how she couldnt find a way to play the game there. A few days later, that issue is solved.Some members of Germanys field hockey team said they caught a special Pokemon character in the athletes village, though it turned out that they were only posing for a photo with world No. 1 tennis player and fellow Olympian Novak Djokovic. And star mens Olympic gymnast Kohei Uchimura of Japan told media from his country that he racked up a $5,000 phone bill using so much data trying to play the game leading up to the games.Its one of those things that pulls out the child in you, New Zealand rower and 2012 gold medalist Eric Murray said, revealing that hes an avid Pokemon Go fan. It was pretty cool because you go around and catch Pokemon, which is what they did in the cartoon, and its fun.The smattering of people inside the Olympic Park on Thursday could find some Pokestops (where you collect Pokeballs and other items) and Pokegyms (where players, after joining a team, can compete against others). When the Olympic action starts in earnest on Friday, it seems like a certainty that Pokemon Go will be part of the spectacle.But in parts of Rio, its already a very big deal.Pokemon! I started to play Pokemon yesterday, said Ronaldo Banto, who works in a Rio hotel and spent his free time Thursday morning running around with his phone playing the game. Now Im trying to find some Pokemons here. Im loving it.Banto was drawn to a park, given that the app was telling him activity could be found there. He met up with a few other people who were already there and the group -- most of whom had never met previously -- spent a few minutes together reviewing notes and talking about the game.For others, its a new way to pass the time before seeing the Olympics.My kids downloaded it on my phone because they left theirs on the plane, so I guess I better learn now, said Michelle Birney of Los Angeles, who brought her two daughters to Rio for the Olympics to see soccer matches and family members.While she spoke, her two girls ran a cobblestone square, looking down at their phones and almost colliding with a man playing the same game.If Pokemon ever gets in the Olympics, maybe they have a shot, Birney said.

Trainer Robbie Griffiths has switched plans with sprinting mare Deja Blue who runs in a 1000m-straight race at Flemington.A programming change at Sandown prompted Griffiths to turn his attention to Flemington on Saturday.The mare was going to run on the Lakeside course at Sandown on Wednesday but the meeting was switched to the Hillside track which meant a distance change.I was going to run her at Sandown but when that race got changed to 1300 metres I thought it was too big a jump, Griffiths said.Although she hasnt raced at Flemington, the 1000 metres up the straight I think will suit her.With meetings scheduled at Moe and Moonee Valley on Friday and Flemington, Stawell and Cranbourne on Saturday, Griffiths has strong numbers at each venue.With 10 horses nominated for Flemington, Griffiths says at this stage he plans to have two runners, possibly three.As well as Deja Blue, Aurum Spirit starts in the benchmark 84 race over 1600m.He will study the entries at Flemington and Cranbourne before deciding whether Southern Spur joins the pair.Its free nominations and it gives you options, Griffiths said.dddddddddddd.Griffiths also nominted Hula Star and Dance With Fontein in the 1000m-race at Flemington but said the pair would run at Werribee on Sunday.Eight-year-old Aurum Spirit rarely runs a bad race and Griffiths said his unplaced finish at Moonee Valley last time was better than it looked.Hes going well the old boy and he should be suited in that sort of race on Saturday, Griffiths said.Southern Spur, a debut Moe winner in the colours of The Quarterback who gave Griffiths his first Group One win, is entered for a three-year-old race at Flemington and a Class One race at Cranbourne on Saturday night.Griffiths is concerned the Flemington race may be too tough at this stage of Southern Spurs career.Hes only a little fellow and I think Ill have a look at the races, Griffiths said.His mum (Spurcific) was good at Flemington and hopefully he might be also.
