The father of Olympic walking bronze medallist Dane Bird-Smith has been fined about $3,000 over his run-in with Rio police, in an incident his son brushed off as classic dad behaviour.Two-time Olympian David Smith has coached his 24-year-old son in a sporting career that climaxed when he finished third in the 20km race on Friday (Saturday AEST).Smith was positioned at the track-side drinks station throughout the race where he was able to provide loud and regular encouragement.But he fell foul of local security officials, who prevented him from entering the official post-race area to celebrate with his son and then escorted him away.Australian team officials confirmed that Smith had been charged over the incident, which included an allegation he threw a bag at police when he was refused entry.He was provided with legal assistance and fined 7,500 reais.Mr Smith left the Olympic Village this morning, as planned, an Australian team spokesman said.He was accredited as his sons coach and was due to leave today after his sons event was over.Smith joked on Friday he had about 400 messages on his phone, many from friends cheekily offering to bail him out.They took my accreditation because they wanted to check it and I think the chief supervisor locked it in his office and went home before the end of the race, he told AAP.Bird-Smith said he was thrilled to have done his dad proud in the race, where he clocked a personal best of one hour 19 minutes and 37 seconds to finish third behind Chinese duo Wang Zhen and Cai Zelin.Weve been working together as a team basically since I started race-walking, he said.

Mercedes is in the running to secure the 2016 constructors championship at next weekends Malaysian Grand Prix.Mercedes currently leads the constructors standings by 222 points and needs to finish within seven points of closest rivals Red Bull in Sepang and within 22 points of Ferrari to secure the title for a third consecutive season. Put simply, a victory and any other points-scoring position would secure the title for Mercedes, as would second and third if Red Bull win. However, if Red Bull finishes first and second or first and third, it can guarantee Mercedes champagne celebrations will be put on ice for at least another round.?Mercedes has won (and had the other driver finish in the points) at every race this season apart from the Spanissh Grand Prix when Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton collided.dddddddddddd To underline the likelihood of Mercedes getting the necessary points in Malaysia, Hamilton currently has odds of 1/1 to win in Malaysia, while Rosberg has odds of 11/8.Last year Mercedes won the title a round earlier at the 15th race of the season, but the calendar was two races shorter. But the longer calendar also means that if Mercedes wins in Malaysia it will do so with one extra race remaining than it had in 2015.The drivers title, meanwhile, is a much closer affair with Rosberg leading Hamilton by eight points with six races remaining.
