The Latest: Russian jumper feels 'great responsibility'

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

11:15 p.m.

Darya Klishina calls it "a great responsibility" to be the only track and field competitor from Russia at the Rio Olympics.

All 67 other potential Russian athletes in the sport were banned from participating in the 2016 Games by track's governing body, the IAAF, because of evidence of systemic doping.

But Klishina, who lives and trains in the United States, learned a day before long jump qualifying Tuesday night that she would be allowed to participate in Brazil.
