RIO DE JANEIRO -- The CEO of the Rio Olympics said Sunday his privately funded operating budget needs just under $30 million in public funding to meet its obligations.Chief executive officer Sidney Levy had pledged that only private money would be used to run the games. That promise was broken just over a month ago when the committee requested a bailout from the city of Rio de Janeiro and the federal government to run the Paralympic Games.Levy, speaking on the final day of the Paralympics, said we committed ourselves to hosting the games without any public funds, but during the journey there were a lot of ups and downs that led to the overrun.The operating budget is for running the games themselves, and does not include roads and stadiums built to prepare the city. In a conservative estimate, Rio spent between $10-12 billion in public and private money readying the city -- much of the private money lured in by tax concessions and favorable loan terms from government lenders.Levy, who promised early in his term to run an operating committee free of corruption, said the final figure for the operating budget was $2.8 billion. He said the final government contribution would not be more than 1 percent of that.The dollar-denominated budget number has fluctuated over the years because of wide swings in that currencys value against the Brazilian real.The Rio organizing committee received a last-minute reserve fund of 150 million reals ($45.9 million) from the city of Rio de Janeiro. Levy said he expects to use about two-thirds of that fund.Brazils federal government also came up with another 100 million reals ($30.6 million). This comes in the form of sponsorships from three state-run entities, including the scandal-plagued oil company Petrobras.Levy said he does not regard the sponsorship as government money, although organizing committee members acknowledged they lobbied Brazils federal president Michel Temer for the outlay.This is a right Petrobras has to purchase this sponsorship as many other privately owned and other state-run companies do, Levy said. It is not government money that could be used for other things. Its their advertising money.Levy then added: By the way, they paid very little for it. It was very cheap for them.Levy said the annual salaries for its eight top directors would be available at the end of the year. The Brazilian newspaper Estadao reported last month the eight were paid an average of $25,000 per month in 2015.Levy also said the audit results of his budget would be made available.We follow the rules of all private companies that are listed on the stock market in Brazil, Levy said. Our (financial) statement cannot be doubted because they are audited and published. I insist on that.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .

Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice.PITTSBURGH -- Jaromir Jagr and Sidney Crosby are from different eras and different countries, and the style of play when each entered the NHL was wildly disparate, as well.What they have in common is the Pittsburgh Penguins.Jagr, who is 44 and is 25 years removed from his NHL debut, starred on the first two Penguins teams to win the Stanley Cup. Crosby, who is 29 and is 11 years removed from his NHL debut, starred on the last two Penguins teams to win the Stanley Cup.On Tuesday night, the crisscrossing careers of two of the NHLs most dominant offensive players of the last quarter-century could converge again at PPG Paints Arena.Crosby, who missed the first six Penguins games with a concussion, took part in a full practice Monday -- his first since the season began. He might make his season debut against Jagrs Florida Panthers.It was just good to be back on the ice with the guys. Its not easy watching, Crosby said. To be out there was nice and, hopefully, (it was) a good step.Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan, whose team is coming off a 5-1 loss at Nashville on Saturday, no doubt would welcome back the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, although he didnt say for certain if Crosby would play.The Penguins (3-2-1) likely will make sure Crosby experiences no setbacks after going through a full practice before he gets the go-ahead to play.Sid is day-to-day, Sullivan said Monday. Well take tomorrow as it comes.There always seems to be another tomorrow for Jagr, who won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins during his first two NHL seasons in 1991 and 1992 -- back when goals were much more plentiful than when Crosby debuted in 2005. He has been gone from Pittsburgh for 15 years -- can it possibly be that long -- yet he still is more cloosely associated with the Penguins than he is with any of his other seven NHL teams.ddddddddddddJagr played 806 regular-season games with Pittsburgh; he has appeared in no more than 277 games with any other team.My (Pittsburgh) fans are already dead or old, Jagr told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. There are new fans. Half of them probably dont even know I played there.Jagr was booed for years -- though never with venom that accompanies some once-popular players departures from a city --after he was seen as orchestrating his departure from what was then a cash-strapped Penguins franchise in 2001.However, he remains an icon in the city, even if it is difficult to spot the once-prevalent No. 68 Jagr jerseys in the stands.Jagr always enjoys playing in Pittsburgh, no matter what jersey he wears; he has 24 goals and 22 assists in 52 career games against the Penguins. (Plus 439 goals and 640 assists in 806 games with them.)Last season, Jagrs 27 goals were the most of any player his age in NHL history. Last week, he joined Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe as the only NHL players to score 750 goals in their careers.When he turns 45 on Feb. 15, Jagr will become -- barring injury -- only the third player to ever play at that age, joining Howe and Chris Chelios.Jagr has one goal and two assists in five games to help Florida get off to a 3-1-1 start.Stanley Cup-winning goalie Matt Murray (broken left hand) also resumed practicing with Pittsburgh for the first time this season on Monday.Im getting closer and closer every day, he said.Marc-Andre Fleury has started in net in all six Penguins games to date.
