Lassila and Qi battle to victory in snowy Deer Valley Round two of the big Deer Valley Visa Freestyle International World Cup weekend took to the resort’s White Owl aerials venue on Friday evening, where Lydia Lassila (AUS) and Qi Guangpu (CHN) were able to battle through the heavy snow and rise above their competitors to take World Cup aerials wins. Lassila, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic gold medalist and the Sochi 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, retired from competition following that bronze medal-winning perfmance in Sochi to focus on her family. Now however, at the age of 35, she is back on the World Cup circuit and looking as strong as she ever has, taking a World Cup win in just her second event back after three years off the World Cup circuit. Qualifying in sixth, Lassila stepped it up in the semifinal, throwing down an essentially perfect full-full to put herself into the big final in top spot, followed closely by the USA’s Kiley McKinnon and China’s Xu Mengtao. In the big final Lassila would watch as first Xu, and then McKinnon stomped their final jumps solidly in the driving snow, with McKinnon’s final jump score of 95.17 coming in as the highest ladies’ score of the night in any round - up to that point. Dropping last after McKinnon, Lassila was able to up the ante just enough, skiing away cleanly from a full, double-full, that would earn her score of 95.52 - just enough to nudge the US skier into second place and give Lassila her first World Cup win since January of 2014. “It’s been a couple of years (since my last victory),” Lassila said, smiling from the finish area, “But this is why I came back to competition, this feeling. Under the lights, in these tough conditions, and I can still do it! It’s amazing.” McKinnon’s runner-up podium was the first of the season for the 2014/15 aerials crystal globe winner, while Xu’s podium was her third in three competitions this season and has her now sitting just 42 points back of aerials World Cup leader Danielle Scott (AUS) in the 2016/17 rankings, with 240 points to Scott’s 282. Scott finished the night in 12th after falling in her semifinal attempt. Qi back on tour and back on top On the men’s side, Qi Guangpu returned to competition after missing the last World Cup event in Lake Placid and got right back into the form that gave him a win and a runner-up at the first two competitions of the season in Beida Lake (CHN). Qi was simply untouchable in Deer Valley on Friday night, leading after every stage and taking the eventual win with a score more than 14 points better than his nearest competitor, locking in a final jump double-full, full, full, for a score of 128.96. “It’s a beautiful night for me,” said Qi of his win, “So much snow, tough conditions, but I’m very happy to win.” Qi's win vaulted him over Anton Kushnir (BLR) and back into top spot on the World Cup leaderboard. Second place at Deer Valley went to Belarus’ Stanislau Hladchenko, whose full, double-full, full, earned him a score of 114.60 and the first podium of his World Cup career. Third place went to Stanislav Nikitin of Russia, who just edged US favourite off of what would have been a home-field win. With Deer Valley in the books, next stop on the aerials World Cup tour is next weekend in Korea’s Bokwang Phoenix Park for the Olympic test event, where the athletes will get their first taste of the venue they’ll be competing in at next year’s PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

Kummer and Yankov triumph in historic race in Bulgaria Second best qualifiers Patrizia Kummer (SUI) and Radoslav Yankov (BUL) have claimed victory in the first parallel giant slalom of two World Cup races currently staged at Bansko which therefore became the second ever Bulgarian hist of a snowboard World Cup competition. With a perfectly prepared course given under a blue bird sky, a demanding and turning setting of the gates as well as 7,000 noisy spectators who were barracking for their local favourite everything was set for an history writing debut as the so far sole World Cup staged on Bulgarian soil was dating back to Sofia where a big air was held in 2007. And as if Hollywood had written the story line for the first ever pgs World Cup event at the foot of the Pirin Mountains, it was the Bulgaria's snowboard superstar Radoslav Yankov doing his home country proud by securing the much anticipated win in front of a stellar crowd where a lot of fans were fully equipped with Yankov masks and shirts. One week after turning 27, the racer coming from Chepelare beat Rogla winner Nevin Galmarini (SUI) in the men's final bringing home his career's third. “I'm really excited and happy about this win. It's a dream come true for me. I have to thank Bansko for putting this one up, such a great slope. The people here were awesome. I will never forget this race,” he said before getting feted by the crowd at site. Earning 1,000 points for his victory, Yankov took over the lead in the pgs as well as alpine snowboard overall World Cup ranking from Benjamin Karl (AUT) who finished in third position after having the upper hand on Mirko Felicetti (ITA) in the small final. Clashes of the titans While the men's event became a well-deserved Yankov show ,the women's event also featured an exciting showdown with 2014 Olympic champions Patrizia Kummer and Julia Dujmovits (AUT) going head to head in the big finals until the finish line. In the end, the Swiss racer, who had lost her Rogla eight final last week do to the worse qualifier time after being tied with her rival Carolin Langenhorst (GER), came out successful of the most thrilling duel of the day by crossing the line 0.01 seconds ahead of her rival from Austria. “It was an incredible race for me. I felt well right from the beginning. As a result I had a good qualifier time which was important for me as it didn't really work out in the last races. I knew that I just had to believe in myself and what I do. And it worked out. I'm super happy that I made it on top of the podium, especially in front of such a crowd here in Bansko.” Although one man's meat is another man's poison, runner-up Julia Dujmovits was also pleased with the result given the fact that she had to overcome several setbacks during the season already: “I'm not disappointed although it's never nice to lose by only one hundredths but this is a sport where things can go the other way round next time. So, I'm sure that I will have the advantage sometime again. I'm glad about my racing today especially as the whole season hasn't been going well for me so far with two finger injuries. I'm happy that I came back step by step and finished on the podium today.” Ladina Jenny (SUI) rounded out the podium as third while 2015 world champion Claudia Riegler (AUT) had to settle for fourth position just like last weekend in Slovenia. Eighth rank finisher Ina Meschik (AUT) took over the pgs World Cup lead from Ester Ledecka (CZE), who is missing out the Bansko trip due to participating in the FIS Alpine Skiing World Championships in St. Moritz (SUI). However, the Czech is still leading the overall World Cup ranking. The alpine snowboard World Cup tour continues this coming Sunday with another parallel giant slalom staged on the Alberto Tomba slope. Finals are scheduled for 1:30 PM CET.

Lampic & Retivykh notch first World Cup wins in PyeongChang It was a day of firsts in PyeongChang, Korea the site of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Day's sprint competitions marked the first time that South Korea has ever hosted an FIS Cross-Country World Cup event. Along with that first we had 4 of the 6 athlete who made it to the podium today there for the first time. As well the two winners, Anamarija Lampic of Slovenia and Gleb Retivykh of Russian were first time winners. Lampic went head to head with Poland's Justyna Kowalczyk on the final climb and was able to create a gap and held it all the way to the finish. Silje Oeyre Slind of Norway was able to fight her way to second +1.60 behind just ahead of the USA's Ida Sargent +1.79 off the lead. For all three it was their first World Cup podiums. Kowalczyk crossed the line in 4th +2.35 back. In the men's competition Retivykh came from second place on the final curve to overtake Norway's Sondre Turvoll Fossli to win his first World Cup by +0.30. In third place was Russian Andrey Parfenov +0.73 back. It was his second World Cup sprint podium following another third place finish in Rybinsk 2015. He took third just 0.01 ahead of Canada's Lenny Valjas. It was the first time any of these athletes competed on this sprint course which featured a long early climb followed by a very large second climb similar in height to the final hill of the Ruka sprint course.

Ladies' will complete a 7.5 km + 7.5 km course and the men will go 15 km + 15 km . Full Results Men and Women

Deer Valley starts in style with Schild and Kingsbury victories The opening event of the three-night Deer Valley Visa Freestyle International competition weekend kicked things off in celebratory fashion on Thursday, with US young gun Morgan Schild taking the second World Cup win of her career on home soil and Mikael Kingsbury (CAN) tying French legend Edgar Grospiron for most World Cup podiums with his own win in the Deer Valley moguls competition. After two days of training under perfect sunny skies on Deer Valley’s Champion mogul run, Thursday dawned cloudy and a bit snowy, and come time for the start of ladies finals a persistent low cloud that had settled over the course’s top section became cause for delay. However, after the stop-and-start ladies’ qualifier the temperature dropped, the clouds melted off, and the rest of the Deer Valley opener got off without a hitch in front the typically electric crowd gathered at venue’s base. Top qualifier for the ladies was World Cup leader Britteny Cox (AUS), who appeared in the competition’s early stages to be on her way to her fourth victory in five events this season. However, come time for the semi-final Schild, inspired by the huge home crowd, took it to another level and didn’t look back. Schild topped the semi-final and then in the big final simply dominated, with her slightly slower time offset easily by her superior jump package and control through Deer Valley’s steep and deep middle section. With her D-spin 720 being the best ladies’ air of the night and her top turning scores, Schild earned the win with one of the highest ladies' scores of the 2016/7 season - 81.27. The win was an emotional one for Schild, who last topped the podium back in March 2015 in Japan, before a massive knee injury forced her our of competition for nearly two years. “I looked back to my strengths of being tough in the big moguls," said Schild on regaining her winning form, ”People can struggle with that, and it makes me feel more confident to get to those places in the course that a lot of girls don’t go, which is usually filled with a lot of soft snow. To be able to just commit and go as fast as I can into the bottom air, that’s really what went well for me today. I feel like my old self. It’s amazing.” Second place went to Justine Dufour-Lapointe (CAN), as the World Cup second-overall was able to put down a charging run on the course where last season she won both the moguls and dual moguls events. Third place went to Cox, with the Australian able to hold on to the yellow World Cup leader’s bib with her fourth podium of the season. Cox now has 405 points to Dufour-Lapoint's 341. “Deer Valley is known as the Superbowl of freestyle skiing,” Cox beamed following awards, “So to get on the podium here, with my whole family here to watch me, is so special and I’m so happy.” On the men’s side it was all Kingsbury, all night, as the man who may go down as the greatest moguls man in history skied like he was on a mission. Making up for a second-place performance on home soil last weekend in Calgary, Kingsbury lead from start to finish in Deer Valley for his third win of the season. Still just 24 years old, Kingsbury now has 36 career victories and 57 podiums, putting him three wins away from surpassing Norwegian acro skier Rune Kristiansen for the most men’s victories in FIS Freestyle World Cup history and tying him with Edgar Grospiron for the most men's career moguls podiums. “I feel the heat from the other guys, but I’m still trying to lead the train,” Kingsbury said from the finish area after his win, “But it’s fun like that. Those guys pushed me hard and it wasn’t easy tonight but I managed to stay consistent and I’m happy with my skiing.” Kingsbury was able to extend his World Cup lead to 124 points over Matt Graham (AUS), who finished fourth on the evening - 420 to 296. Second place on Thursday night went to Ben Cavet (FRA), who continues a hugely impressive 2016/17 with his fourth podium in five events. Third on the day went to Kingsbury’s teammate Philippe Marquis, for his first podium of the season. Friday night in Deer Valley sees the focus switch over to the White Owl run for World Cup aerials competition, before it’s back to Champion for the Deer Valley grand finale - the first dial moguls competition of the 2016/17 FIS Freestyle World Cup season.

poor The USA mens hockey team is out only because China send probably the weakest hockey male team in history of this sport... USA defeated GBR 10-1 and aspired to advance for the QF as one of the best 3rd ranked with 3 points and equal total score 11-11, but then came Sweden which was 0-2 so far with overal score 0-10 to play against China "punchbag" team and ofc won easily 15-0 and suddenly with overal score 15-10 move up and send the US to the placement round...it´s just unbelievable how can be a team so extremely weak even at this universiade level

This is really nice to heard that at least 1 person appreciates my work
