LAKE LOUISE, Alta. -- Lindsey Vonn felt pressure to win the season-opening World Cup downhill at Lake Louise, even though she is the most dominant ski racer there. When the American ski star crossed the finish line Friday in a blistering time that no one was going to beat, Vonn looked to the sky and pumped her fists in a gesture of both vindication and relief. Vonn had upped the ante for herself at Lake Louise by asking the world governing body of skiing if she could race in the mens World Cup last weekend. She was denied by FIS, but hasnt given up on that dream. Vonn believes the best argument for her to race the men is to keep winning the womens races at Lake Louise by large margins. "When you say you want to race the men, you cant really not win the womens races," Vonn said. "I knew that and I definitely was trying to prove a point, I think mostly to myself, but to everyone else who doesnt think I should race with the men. "Hopefully it works out. Maybe it wont, but I think my skiing will speak for itself." With a time of one minute 52.61 seconds, Vonn was a commanding 1.73 seconds faster than U.S. teammate and runner-up Stacey Cook, who earned her World Cup medal. Cook was just a hundredth faster than Germanys Maria Hoefl-Riesch and Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein who tied for third in 1:54.35. Vonn collected her 12th career victory and has landed on the podium 18 times at Lake Louise. The 28-year-old from Burnsville, Minn., will race another downhill Saturday and in Sundays super-G. The reigning World Cup and Olympic champion swept all three races last year. Vonn had skipped the final training run at Lake Louise because she felt unwell Thursday. She says it was a continuation of the stomach pain that hospitalized her Nov. 12 for two nights in Colorado. "Its just that my stomach is really sensitive, so I had some funny eggs or, I dont really know what it was," she explained. "It seems like it doesnt really matter what I eat, something can sometimes trigger it. I definitely wasnt feeling well yesterday. "I didnt do the training run which Ive never done before in my life, so I was nervous today. I know this hill better than anywhere else in the world and I gave it my best shot and was really happy with my run." Fridays race was paused several times due to deteriorating visibility at the top of the course. With 25 racers down the hill, one long delay sparked concerns the race would have to be cancelled, which could have nullified all results. The race resumed, but it made for a long afternoon Canadian Larisa Yurkiw. She was the last of the 51 women down the mountain and the Owen Sound, Ont., skier finished 44th. Yurkiw returned to the World Cup late last season after a knee injury sidelined her for two years. The 24-year-old is trying to work her way back into the worlds elite. "I definitely didnt even come close to meeting my goal, so thats really disappointing," said Yurkiw. "For me to come in 44th, its just so far from what Im capable of and thatll drive me tomorrow." Her stomach problems and the training interruptions that caused had drained Vonn of some of her energy. She was 21st in a giant slalom last week in Aspen, Colo., before arriving in Lake Louise. "It seemed like everything was going wrong," Vonn said. "Its hard sometimes to believe that youre going to turn things around. "I just keep fighting and every day, I keep trying my best. I was just so happy I was able to come out today and ski the way I wanted to. It was just a big sigh of relief." Cook, 28, collapsed into her mother Sharons arms and cried when she realized she would stand on a World Cup podium for the first time in her career. "Someone told me this was my 150th World Cup start. One hundred and fifty tries to get on the podium," Cook exclaimed. "Nine years of it. Its a long time coming and my parents they come to one race every three years. For them to choose this one was really special. "Ive battled so much in my career and most of the battles have been within myself, just figuring out how to compete with these girls that seemed to be so much more gift than me, and trying to overcome that." So now the question now is, can Vonn execute another Lake Louise hat trick? "The only thing Im concerned about at this point is my energy level and trying to make sure I have enough energy for the next couple of days," she said. "It was a long time standing out in the cold today and hopefully I can just get some good recovery in today and maintain what I have and be able to ski the way I want to." wholesale jerseys.

Schussler was crowned the new womens 3,000-metre champion with a time of four minutes 9.51 seconds. The Winnipeg native placed ahead of Christine Nesbitt of London, Ont.TORONTO -- Toronto Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos didnt hesitate when asked what his teams biggest need is heading into the off-season. He said that improving the teams starting rotation is a top priority for the 2013 campaign. "Thats definitely going to be an area -- a major area -- of our concentration in the off-season," Anthopoulos said before the Blue Jays closed out their disappointing regular season with a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. Brandon Morrow (10-7), one of the few bright lights in the rotation, turned in an excellent performance Wednesday, striking out a season-high 11 while allowing only three hits over eight innings. "It always feels good to pitch a game like that," Morrow said. "To have it be the last and end it on a high note, get a win, we all go home happy." Brandon Lyon worked the ninth inning for his first save and infielder Omar Vizquel -- playing in his last game before retirement -- had a single to pass Mel Ott for 40th on the all-time hits list with 2,877. The Blue Jays finished fourth in the American League East with a 73-89 record, while the Twins finished last in the A.L. Central at 66-96. Toronto closed the season with a three-game sweep, while Minnesota ended 2012 on a five-game skid. There was little energy at Rogers Centre for a game between two teams with little to play for. However, the crowd came alive whenever Vizquel stepped up to the plate. He received a nice ovation in the third inning and waved to the 19,769 fans in attendance to acknowledge their support. Vizquel also made a nifty over-the-shoulder catch in the seventh inning and singled in the bottom half of the frame. Manager John Farrell pulled him with two outs in the ninth inning so that he could take one final turn in the spotlight. The crowd gave him a standing ovation. "It came out perfect," Vizquel said of his final day in the major leagues. "We won the game, I got a hit, I made a play and were all going home happy." Canadian left-hander Scott Diamond (12-9) retired the first eight Toronto batters in order before Anthony Gose sent a shot to the gap in right-centre field for a standup triple in the third inning. Rajai Davis singled to drive Gose in with the games first run. The speedy Davis stole second base without a throw and later came home on a single by Adeiny Hechavarria. Morrow also started strong by striking out five of the first six batters he faced but the Twins cut the lead in half with a run in the fourth. Adam Lind nearly answered in the bottom half of the inning with a shot to deep left that hit the top of the wall and stayed in the field of play, forcing him to settle for a long single.dddddddddddd Minnesota put two runners in scoring position in the sixth but Morrow got Matt Carson on a strikeout to end the threat. Diamond, a native of Guelph, Ont., allowed five hits and two earned runs over five innings. Before the game, Anthopoulos held a 30-minute season-ending media availability with reporters. He touched on a variety of topics but one of the main talking points was the struggling pitching staff. Torontos starters were hampered by injuries and underwhelming performances this year. Morrow, Kyle Drabek, Drew Hutchinson, Sergio Santos and Luis Perez all missed large chunks of the season. Ace Ricky Romero had a terrible second half and Henderson Alvarez was inconsistent. In addition, several key position players -- Jose Bautista, Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., and J.P. Arencibia to name a few -- also had significant injury problems. Early-season optimism started to fade in late June as the Blue Jays fell into the division basement, where they would spend most of the rest of the season. "Theres certainly a high level of frustration and I dont think that is unique to any year when youre not in the five teams that advance," Farrell said before the game. "When you dont play after the final day of the regular season, there is always going to be frustration in that. "Going forward there are additions and upgrades that are clear and we have to do the best job that we can to address those." There were some positives to the campaign as well. Youngsters like Hechavarria and Gose showed flashes of their potential, Edwin Encarnacion had a breakout year with 42 homers and 110 RBIs and Casey Janssen was impressive after being given the closers duties. But there will be significant pressure on Anthopoulos in the off-season to add some pieces to a team that hasnt been to the playoffs since 1993. Notes: The game took two hours 21 minutes to play. ... Toronto outhit Minnesota 6-4. ... The Blue Jays regular-season attendance numbers were up by over 15 per cent from last year. The final total was 2,099,663.
