HEERENVEEN, Netherlands (AP) — Jeremy Wotherspoon of Canada edged Joji Katoin to clinch the World Cup speedskating title in the 500 meters on Saturday.
Wotherspoon won in 34.92 seconds and captured the overall title with 1,080 points. Kato of Japan finished second in 35.07, and Dmitry Lobkov of Russia was third with 35.12.
On Friday, Shani Davis of the U.S. beat Denny Morrison to claim the World Cup title in the 1,500. Davis finished in 1 minute, 45.25 seconds.
Spurs strike first
Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and the San Antonio Spurs won their 19th in a row to tie the NBA record for longest winning streak kept alive in the playoffs, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98 to open the Western Conference finals on Sunday night.
Sports is the antidote
While a media researcher offered some great tips in the story on how parents might help their daughters navigate these mixed media messages, I have another: Get young girls involved in sports.
RSL money's worth
The final 31 minutes of Saturday's 3-2 victory over FC Dallas may have been one of the most exciting half hours in Rio Tinto Stadium history.
