BEAVER CREEK, Colo. - This is how Hannes Reichelt prefers his courses: daunting, with a dash of demanding and a bit of danger.Thats why the Austrian feels so at home on the Birds of Prey hill.Reichelt mastered a tricky World Cup super-G course Saturday, holding off Kjetil Jansrud to snap the Norwegians three-race win streak.Hardly ever hitting the brakes, Reichelt sped down the harrowing track in 1 minute, 12.78 seconds. Jansrud was second, 0.52 seconds behind, and technical specialist Alexis Pinturault of France finished third.We have a nice relationship, that slope and me, Reichelt said.Reichelt is quickly getting up to speed after surgery to fix a herniated disk in his back last January knocked him out of the Sochi Olympics. He is pain-free again.Skiing fast again, too. Especially on this course. Dustin Cook of Whistler, B.C., was 12th (1:13.93), Calgarys Jan Hudec finished 14th (1:13.99) and Morgan Pridy of Whistler, was 16th (1:14.03).Hudec is ninth in the World Cup super G standings with 47 points.The 34-year-old Reichelt earned his first World Cup win at Beaver Creek in 2005 and has been on the podium six times at this venue.There are so many bumps and so many times when you dont see the next gate, he said. So its really tough and you always have to ski great, and with (using) your brain. You have to know when to risk in the right part.He already is looking forward to the world championships on this course in February. He certainly will be one of the favourites in the super-G.This was a great step on the way to the championships, Reichelt said.For as splendid of run as Reichelt turned in, he still had to hold his breath when Jansrud took the course.I was really scared, because hes really at another level, Reichelt said.Jansruds definitely the skier to beat whenever he steps into the start gate for a speed event. He won two races last weekend in Lake Louise, Alberta, and a downhill Friday at Beaver Creek in which he skied a near-perfect run.This time, though, Jansrud made a big miscalculation. He struggled with a gate near the bottom of the course and got bounced around. Somehow, he managed not only to stay on course, but maintain his speed.Still, his streak was snapped. Not that he was bemoaning his runner-up spot.The day I get disappointed for second place is the day you turn into an arrogant guy, said Jansrud, who vowed to hold off cutting his long hair given his recent success. So thats not going to happen. I was disappointing coming into the finish, more for the mistake. I knew I (messed) up a little bit.Thats how ski racing is. Some days you win, some you dont. Second place with such a mistake is pretty good.Andrew Weibrecht was the top American; the skier nicknamed War Horse wound up 10th. He said he gained confidence after a solid 30th-place finish the day before in the downhill.The downhill was huge for me, excited about that just to be in the points, said Weibrecht, who won silver in the super-G at the Sochi Olympics, finishing behind Jansrud. I looked it up yesterday, and it was 1,777 days since I (last) scored a downhill point.Ted Ligety was 11th — bad wrist and all. The two-time Olympic gold medallist had four metal screws inserted into his wrist as a result of a skiing mishap in a training session on Nov 22. But he hasnt given the injury a second thought.The wrist is not an issue, Ligety said.The course layout? Now thats a different story.The start was really daunting and intimidating. But you cant let that get to you, Ligety said. Skied way, way too conservative up top. It looks hairy and gnarly and its actually pretty easy if youre a good technical skier.Which, of course, Ligety is. Same with Pinturault, who really hasnt worked on his speed that much but still found a fast line.Although, he did appear to smack his shoulder on a gate. Didnt slow him down, though.Thats skiing, sometimes you dont control everything, he said. I tried to stay focused.The Birds of Prey competition concludes Sunday with a giant slalom, which is Ligetys specialty.Its always fun to ski a GS here, Ligety said. Its an awesome hill.

Cheap Puma Shoes Online Free Shipping .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. Puma Shoes Clearance Sale UK .com) - Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price is set to return Tuesday against Nashville after sitting out the past two games because of a minor upper body injury.The old adage a week is a long time in politics will likely be ringing in Collen Warners ears as he made his way to join up with his new teammates at BMO Field Friday morning. For a player who started all nine league games this season, often out of his central midfield holding role to an attacking berth out on the flank, the last image Impact supporters are left with is of the long walk to the locker room for Warner following his red card against the MLS Champs last Saturday afternoon at Saputo Stadium. We all know how that game finished. A fifth league defeat in a season that appears to be getting further away from a club which is desperate to make amends for how their 2013 campaign ended. For a team that less than 72-hours earlier had lost to Edmonton, a team at the bottom of the NASL standings, the Sporting KC defeat compounded the misery that has engulfed the club. Joey Saputo let it be known changes would be coming. His tweet last Saturday was delivered even before the rest of Warners teammates had made it back to the safety of the locker room. Where they would discover Sunday morning training had been added to the weekly itinerary. Blake Smiths loan to NASLs Indy 11 announced Tuesday was a cue the club were on the search for a wide attacking midfielder. The splendid form to date of Justin Mapp has magnified how inadequate the teams options are on the wing, as did using Warner out wide. Trading for Nakajima-Farran immediately addresses this. Warner has faced undue criticism this season. When all he did was do what was asked of him. Used sparingly in a starting role by Schällibaum, his elevated playing role this term led to some even questioning the relationship between Warner and his head coach. Similar to April 4ths trade which saw Andrew Wenger depart for the Union, the consensus is that Impact Sporting Director, Nick De Santis has pulled off another favourable trade. The allocation money going Montreals way certainly sweetens the pot. Returning to league play Saturday evening after the bye week and on the back of Wednesdays fun and games in the return leg against Edmonton, provides the Impact with the chance to get only their second win of the season.dddddddddddd Worryingly Di Vaio, who spent Wednesday evening watching the game from the pitch stood just behind the Impact bench, has still not fully recovered from a hamstring strain which he first suffered back on April 19th in the away game against Sporting KC. He is doubtful for the game in DC. A game which will reunite the Impact with their old club captain Davy Arnaud, whose contact was not renewed by the Impact at the conclusion of last season. Revitalized since DC acquired him, Arnaud has played a significant part for a club that is only two wins away from surpassing their entire point total from the 2013 season. Not one who would ever describe himself as the most gifted technically, the Impact has certainly missed his tireless work rate. Arnauds dedication to the cause is a clear illustration of something else the team has sorely lacked as the Impact sit firmly rooted to bottom place in the conference. Another player who will not lack in motivation Saturday is Eddie Johnson, who was spurned by Jürgen Klinsmann when he announced a 30-man USMNT World Cup roster on Monday. Johnson more than anyone will not need reminding of his eight game scoreless run since been traded from Seattle to DC is hardly the form befitting of a player who scored many crucial goals during World Cup qualification. DC, who overhauled their squad in the off season following a woeful 2013, is the surprise package in the league this season and would signify a significant scalp for the Impact. To do so the Impact will certainly have to overcome the set piece jitters which have plagued them all season. Defensively they will have to be as they were in their solitary win so far and Justin Mapp will have to yet again carry the attacking threat. On Wednesday evening at Saputo Stadium just before kickoff rather aptly a "Through Thick and Thin" banner was unveiled in the stands. Patience has been tested, perseverance is now required.
