RIO DE JANEIRO -- New, stricter security checks were implemented in Brazilian airports Monday, stalling travelers and delaying flights less than three weeks before Rio de Janeiro hosts the Olympics.Starting at 6 a.m., long, chaotic lines formed at Congonhas regional airport in Brazils biggest city, Sao Paulo. Within a half-hour, more than 700 people were waiting on the buildings first and second floors to pass through security checkpoints. The lines eased up by the afternoon.Smaller airports elsewhere in Sao Paulo state in southern Brazil also reported problems. There were long lines as well at the Santos Dumont regional airport in Rio de Janeiro, where the games are scheduled to open Aug. 5. International airports have not been affected so far.The new measures took effect days after the truck attack that killed 84 people in Nice, France, underscoring potential security threats at big events. Authorities say some 85,000 soldiers and police officers will patrol Rios streets during the Olympics.Also Monday, a police bomb squad responded to a report of a suspicious bag outside an apartment building in Rios wealthy Leblon neighborhood. Officers blocked the street and used a robot to inspect the blue sports bag, which turned out to have only clothes inside.This kind of thing isnt typical in Brazil, said Sergio Cabreu, a 68-year-old retiree who lives in a building around the corner. I doubt its anything, but with the Olympics coming up its good to find out.Because of the stricter checks in airports, Brazilian state airport administrator, Infraero, has recommended that travelers now arrive two hours before scheduled domestic flights instead of 30 minutes. At least five flights at Congonhas were delayed Monday, Infraero said.The new procedures include body searches, removal of electronic items from bags before scanning and more thorough luggage inspections.Brazils aviation agency said the steps are necessary.Due to this vacation period and with the proximity of the Olympic Games, demand for air transportation will surely increase, the agency said.Brazilian authorities expect more than 500,000 foreign tourists to visit Rio for the Olympic Games.

Tearful Tom Daley was at a loss to explain how his bid for Olympic gold in Rio unravelled so spectacularly after failing to qualify for the final of the 10 metres platform event.The 22-year-old from Plymouth looked well placed to improve on his London 2012 bronze after placing first in Fridays preliminary round.But he endured a poor first three rounds of the semifinal at Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre and his inability to recover in the remaining three meant he suffered the ignominy of finishing last of the 18 competitors, with the top 12 making it through.Today I dont really know what went wrong. Ive no idea, Daley said.Ive been feeling so good. Trainings been going really well, Im in the shape of my life, moving better than Ive ever moved before and last night showed that.I was fighting until the end. Every single dive, if I missed a dive, Id move on to the next one.I was constantly trying to fight to be up there, improve my place and fight to try to qualify for the final.When it came to the last dive and I needed 9.5s and 10s to qualify, I know I can do that.I gave it my everything and tried my absolute best. Its just heartbreaking to think that four years of hard work and effort... its tough to accept.Daley had boldly claimed he would be satisfied with nothing less than gold from his individual event.And despite his serene qualification, featuring six near-flawless dives and a total score of 571.85 points, he ffloundered in the semi-final.dddddddddddd.Diving last of the 18 competitors, Daley had to make the top 12 to qualify for Saturday evenings final.Daley scored 34 points less on his firework dive -- a forward three and a half somersaults one twist with pike - than he did a day previously, with his second dive.And he was 15th entering the final round on 352.85 points, a deficit of almost 20 points to 12th place.Daley needed to score better than 101.00 to go through but finished with only a score of 50.40 and a total of 403.25.United States David Boudia, the London 2012 gold medallist, was 13th entering the final round, but squeezed through in 10th place.Chinas Chen Aisen led the way with 559.90 and Qiu Bo was second with 504.70. It meant China were on course for a seventh gold of the diving competition.China had won six of the seven completed events at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre so far this week, with Jack Laugher and Chris Mears win in the synchronised 3m springboard event the exception. Laugher also won silver in the individual event.Daley insisted he would continue on until Tokyo.To think that Team GB diving has already got three medals from this Games is just incredible, he added.It definitely gives you a massive kick in motivation to want to stand on top of the podium in 2020.
