Neues » turns to Russia this weekend

At the recent Cup of China, it was a shocking collision during the 6-minute warmup of the mens event that unfortunately overshadowed the competition and stole the headlines. Air Jordan 4 Wholesale . Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan and Han Yan of China collided full speed at centre ice and both were left lying on the ice holding their heads while they tried to get up and the medics tried to reach them. Both were helped off the ice and attended to and the warmup was stopped to give shocked officials and the other competitors a chance to regroup before it was restarted. Hanyu and Yan were examined by doctors who found no concussion symptoms. Both elected to skate and, while they struggled valiantly, the toll of the crash was obvious in their performances. It looks unlikely that Hanyu and Yan will be ready for their next Grand Prix events as Yan is due up next week in France and Japanese officials have said that Hanyu, who is at home in Sendai recovering, will be off for 2-3 weeks which is when he is due to compete in Japan at the NHK Trophy. We saw the skaters resolve and determination in China so stay tuned. The unlikely may happen. With his second place finish, Hanyu is still in the running for the Grand Prix Final in December and his next competition is on home ice so his motivation to compete will be strong. The bright light for Team Canada in China was the performance of 16-year-old Nam Nguyen, who continued to show remarkable composure and consistency in his second outing on the Senior Circuit. He was the first competitor to take the ice after the unsettling warmup and once again stepped up big time, nailing another quadruple jump and delivering a virtually clean skate. His only error came when he singled a planned triple axel but, showing a focus and confidence beyond his years, he added it later in the program in combination with a triple toe loop. Not only was it a smart calculation by Nam, it was a risky move that only a handful of skaters in the world would be capable of. He finished fourth overall to add to his surprise bronze medal win at Skate America. Interesting to note that Nam just started trying and landing his quad this summer and is 3-for-3 in competition this season. Quite remarkable. He is young and still growing so lacks the power of some of the top guys but what he has shown us so far this season, his love of performing and ability to pull in top technical scores, is that he is heading down a path that is reminiscent of some of the Canadian legends in the sport. As expected, the Russian ladies continued to dominate in China but what was a surprise was that it was not Olympic team gold medalist Julia Lipnitskaya who was the eventual winner, it was her teammate Elizaveta Tuktamysheva who stole the show. Where Julia fell completely apart in the free skate, calling it my worst skate ever!, Elizaveta delivered an ambitious and engaging long program. She is, for many, the sentimental favourite when it comes to picking among the deep pool of young Russian talent. We watched her rise to prominence as a 14-year-old, only to have it slip away as the Olympics approached due to a maturing body which resulted in inconsistent jumps. In 2011-2012, the Russian golden girl became a Sochi spectator and this summer, her quest became a personal one about getting back to where she once was. Well, she has done that, and then some. Her triples are technically as good as they come. They are light and springy, and clean and controlled. Her performances now have soul. There is a heartfelt emotion that was not there previously. As the saying goes, you dont know what youve got till its gone, and Elizaveta knows what she lost and one can see the triumph of having it back written all over her face. With the win in China and a silver at Skate America, she has earned a spot at the Grand Prix final where, at only 17, she will likely be the elder statesmen in what is shaping up to be a very young field. Also in the ladies event in China, we got our first look at the 16-year-old Canadian silver medalist Gabrielle Daleman on the senior circuit. She finished in a respectable fifth place but was in a virtual tie for fourth (.01 back) in a tough field. Gabby has both the jumping arsenal to contend and the determined focus to attack and deliver. I like what I saw from her in China on her first time out at this level this season and while her face in the kiss and cry said that she did not like the results, she is in the game and, with a little fine tuning, can get the scores shes hoping for. We are now at the halfway point of the Grand Prix season and this is where the spots for the final (six in each discipline) will begin to be locked up. Canadians are strongest in the pairs and dance this season and are on target to qualify two teams in the dance and one in the pairs. Our attention turns to Russia this weekend and the Rostelecom Cup. Canada has only a couple of entries but the Russians of course will be out in full force, except for Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova who is now out due to injury. In the renaissance that is Russian skating, it will be fun to watch some of their new teams in both the pairs and dance as they jostle for prominence in the early stages of this Olympic quadrennial. Jordan 4 Online Store . Vonn had another scary moment at Saturdays World Cup downhill in Val dIsere, ending up clutching her knee in pain after losing her balance and missing a gate. But she gave a reassuring answer shortly afterward, saying no new damage had been done to the surgically repaired knee, and that her plans for the Sochi Olympics were still intact.

The Blue Jays have won five games in a row -- their longest winning streak since taking six straight from July 36-31 -- and sit 4 1/2 games out of the second wild card position in the American League. Toronto will look to make up more ground in this series with the Red Sox, who the Blue Jays have beaten in 11 of the 16 meetings this season. That includes a perfect 6-0 mark in Boston. The Jays kept their surge going with a 1-0 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday, with the lone run of the game not coming until Colby Rasmus hit a pinch-hit solo homer in the top of the 10th inning. Rasmus drilled a full-count fastball from Steven Geltz well over the wall in right field and Casey Janssen then pitched around a one-out walk in the bottom of the extra frame for his 21st save. "It was great," Rasmus said. "He threw me a good one there." Drew Hutchison has been throwing some good innings as of late and takes the mound tonight for the Blue Jays. The right-hander won for the first time in four starts with a 2-0 decision over the New York Yankees on Saturday. He allowed only one hit over seven scoreless innings, striking out nine to just two walks. "It seemed like his fastball was getting on our hitters a lot quicker than they thought," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said about Hutchison. "He threw the ball really well." TThat win came one start after Hutchison was charged with just one run over six innings of a no-decision versus Tampa Bay. Cheap Jordan 4 Wholesale. Hutchison is 9-11 with a 4.47 earned run average this year and 2-1 lifetime versus Boston in three starts with a 4.70 ERA. However, he was drilled for six runs in only 2 2/3 innings of a home loss to the Red Sox on July 21. Boston counters with the struggling Allen Webster, who has lost back-to-back starts against Seattle and Tampa Bay while giving up 12 runs, 13 hits and five walks over a total of 8 1/3 innings. The young righty is 3-3 with a 6.69 ERA in seven starts on the year and holds a lifetime record of just 4-5 with a 7.58 ERA in 15 games (14 starts). Webster faces the Blue Jays for the first time this season and will try to help the Red Sox rebound from a disappointing 5-4 setback to the Yankees on Thursday. Boston carried a 5-4 lead into the ninth inning thanks to two homers by David Ortiz and a solo shot by Brock Holt, but closer Koji Uehara gave up a pair of solo homers in the bottom of the frame for a walk-off defeat. "Any time you give up a lead in the fashion that we did, those are tough to take," Red Sox manager John Farrell said after his club wrapped a 5-5 road trip. Farrell may have the luxury of having Dustin Pedroia back in the lineup tonight. The second baseman has not played since suffering a concussion on Aug. 30 against the Rays and is hitting .280 with seven homers and 51 RBI this season.
