LONDON -- Every athlete should have a fan as devoted as #OlympicNan.The grandmother of British swimmer Adam Peaty has become a champion tweeter as she gushes about his achievements. With a Twitter biography that describes herself as Proud Nan to a World Champion Breaststroker, Mavis Williams, 74, is gaining followers who use the word adorable to describe her passion for Peaty.What race oooo Im so proud hes a gladiator well done, she tweeted with such glee that she dispensed with punctuation after he broke the world record in the 100-meter breaststroke in Saturdays heats. She stamped it with the British flag, shamrocks and clapping hands.She was back on Twitter after Peaty broke that record again and took home gold Sunday night in the same event. My Grandson has done it, she tweeted.Peaty had stayed off Twitter in the days leading up to his event.Shes a great nan and shes always loved swimming, he said after his victory. Hopefully, Ive done her proud.Williams, who is from Uttoxeter, a town of 14,000 about 120 miles (200 kilometers) northwest of London, said she was introduced to Twitter by her daughter, Caroline, Adams mother. Her only goal was to get more followers than Caroline.You dont go out as much as you do when you were younger, now do you? she told The Associated Press on Sunday. Its given me a new interest and kept my brain working.Williams has, with a few hundred tweets and retweets, managed to capture attention with a simple chronicle of Peatys Olympic journey from her perspective.Theres the buildup to Rio. Theres a picture of her at this years aquatics championships at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park next to some sort of mascot creature named Ray. Theres a picture of her beloved Adam in his Olympic uniform.Doesnt my grandson look great in his Great Britain KIT, tweeted Williams, whose Twitter handle is Mavise42Mavis.Theres even a thank you to the person who helped decorate her home in preparation for the games.Im ready for Rio now thanks to my kind window cleaner who put my bunting up, she tweeted.Mostly, shes so proud shes bursting. She thinks her tweets help Adam and the team -- just to let them know their fans are pulling for them from far away.But her chronicle is also a reminder that those behind the athletes are sometimes on as much of a journey as the competitors themselves. And no matter how many followers she gets, when her friendly competition with Caroline is over, she plans to send out a thank-you tweet to all the people who decided to follow her. Theyve taught her a lot, after all.I think its nice to thank someone -- even if it is just a tweet, she said.---AP Sports Writer Beth Harris in Rio de Janeiro contributed to this report.USA Soccer Jerseys 2019 .

Do you expect him to emerge into an every-down player?He wont be an every-down player, but I would expect his role to increase. The Bills placing Greg Salas on injured reserve a week ago thinned their depth, and Marquise Goodwin missing practice this week because of an illness was another blow, so Hunter is the next man up. Hes a name to monitor, but I wouldnt dive head-first into starting him just yet, especially in an offense that is still centered around running back LeSean McCooy.dddddddddddd. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsHow do you expect running back touches to be distributed once Arian Foster returns to the lineup?There is a solid chance Foster returns Sunday against Pittsburgh. That will surely shorten Miamis running back rotation, but dont expect Foster to get a ton of carries and production from a fantasy standpoint. Dolphins running backs are only getting 15.2 carries per game. Foster, if healthy, could get about 10 of those, while the rest will be divided between Jay Ajayi and Damien Williams. The Dolphins could be playing from behind facing Pittsburghs high-powered offense, which would reduce Miamis rushing attack. -- James Walker ' ' '
