Matthias Mayer of Austria won the Olympic downhill in Sochi on Sunday. Mayer finished the Rosa Khutor course in 2 minutes, 6.23 seconds. Christof Innerhofer of Italy won silver and Kjetil Jansrud of Norway won bronze. Canadas Erik Guay finished 10th. Teammates Ben Thompson, Jan Hudec and Manuel Osborne-Paradis finished 19th, 21st and 25th respectively. Pre-race favorite Aksel Lund Svindal fourth and American Bode Miller finished eighth. Mayer was one of the first contenders to come down, with the No. 11 bib, and he hardly celebrated when he reached the finish. But his smile grew wider as all the favorites failed to catch him. Miller was one of the fastest skiers on the top section but lost speed when he hit a gate on a right turn a bit further down. "He pinched it off and went into the gate," Italian skier Dominik Paris said. "It was a critical section there." After crossing the finish, Miller sat down on his skis with a look of bewilderment on his face. That was understandable, considering that the American had dominated two of the three official training sessions. Svindal was also fast on top but lost speed when his large frame went soaring into the air over the big jumps lining the rest of the course. Mayer is short and compact and appeared more aerodynamic over the jumps. Mayeris one of the more surprising gold medalists in the sports marquee race, as he has never before finished better than fifth in a World Cup downhill. But Mayer led the second downhill training session and was third in the opening session. His father, Helmut, won a silver medal in the super-G at the 1988 Calgary Games. Mayer was not even supposed to be Austrias top contender but he was thrust into that position when Hannes Reichelt was sidelined with back surgery after winning the prestigious Kitzbuehel downhill on home snow two weeks ago. Ski-loving Austria has won more mens downhills at the Olympics than any other nation, six of 17, but the last came in 2002 from Fritz Strobl, who happens to be from the same region in southern Austria as Mayer. So is Franz Klammer, who won the 1976 Innsbruck Games downhill. Mayer has had more success in super-G, including a silver medal at the 2008 junior world championships and two second-place World Cup showings. Those super-G skills suited him well for the Olympic downhill course, which was extremely technical. At 3.5 kilometers (2.17 miles), the Rosa Khutor piste was also one of the most physically demanding tests skiers faced all season. With three big jumps, one of which sent skiers soaring into the air for 70 meters (yards), it provided for a spectacular race. However, the stands were only half full at the start due to an apparent traffic problem. They only filled up as the race wore on. Skies were cloudy and the temperature was slightly above freezing. The next event on the Alpine schedule is the womens super-combined Monday, followed by the womens downhill Wednesday. Roquan Smith Bears Jersey . Warren made six birdies and a bogey for a 5-under total of 139 to sit one shot ahead of Felipe Aguilar of Chile, who carded a 69. David Horsey of England was also on 5 under through 15 holes to join Warren atop the leaderboard before play was stopped. James Daniels Bears Jersey . Austin does not believe the game-time temperature is going to be an advantage for either side heading into the Grey Cup. "We dont think about (the cold)," said Austin. "Im not even sure how you would determine an advantage. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-A ... er-Jersey/. -- Olympic medallist Jennifer Abel of Laval, Que. Taylor Gabriel Jersey . Cammalleri scored two goals, Corban Knight netted the winner in a shootout, and the Flames erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Stars 4-3 on Friday night. Joel Iyiegbuniwe Bears Jersey . On paper, it looks a little like Andre the Giant taking on a midget wrestler. It has all the makings of a rout with the Americans adding an eighth win in nine outings of this biennial event. The Yanks have eight players in the top 15 in the world while the Internationals have just one.CFL Hall of Fame quarterback and CFL on TSN Analyst Matt Dunigan will be among this years inductees into Mike Ditkas Gridiron Greats Assistance Funds Hall of Fame. Dunigan will be joined in the Hall this year by a number of former NFL players including Dan Reeves and Eddie Murray. Previous inductees to the Hall include "Mean" Joe Greene, Greg Landry and Marv Levy. He becomes the fourth former CFL great inducted into the Hall, joining Hugh Campbell and George Reed, who were inducted last year and Angelo Mosca who was selected in 2012. Dunigan played in the CFL for 14 seasons with six different teams Edmonton, BC, Toronto, Winnipeg, Birmingham and Hamilton, (guiding 5 of the 6 teams to the play-offs and 4 of them to the Grey Cup.) He won Grey Cups with Edmonton in 1987 and Toronto in 1991. He finished his career with 43,859 passing yards and 3,057 completions in 5,476 attempts (306 TD passes). He rushed for 5,031 yards and scored another 77 TDs via the run. Inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2006, the Winnipeg Blue Bomber Hall of Fame in 2003 and into his alma mater, Louisiana Tech Hall of Fame in 2011, where he was a 2-Time All-American. He still holds the CFL record for most passing yards in a game. Dunigan threw for an incredible 713 yards with Winnipeg in 1994 in a game against the Eskimos. "Im extremely honoured by this selection," said Dunigan. "Im baffled by it all. Its exceptional company to be in. Those guys are some of the legends that played the game and paved the way for all of us. I look at some of the people who have gone in to the Hall and it gets more and more overwhelming and humbling. Football has a way of humbling a pplayer.dddddddddddd "I think its a tremendous opportunity to bridge the CFL and NFL together," added Dunigan. There are so many great players that have competed on the gridiron and the same life lessons are taught on both sides of the border." Dunigan has been equally successful off the field. He has contributed to the community through his involvement with (Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Canadian Association of Community Living, Kids, Cops & Computers - Merry Go Round Childrens Foundation, DEBRA Canada as well as through many other community endeavours. He has also made significant contributions to the study and effects of concussion on athletes with his involvement with ThinkFirst Canada/Parachute. Dunigan has been a Football analyst and commentator for TSN since 1999. "Matt has been an important part of the CFL Alumni Association since our inception," said Leo Ezerins, Executive Director of the CFLAA. "We are particularly grateful for his support on the Canadian Sports Concussion Project." “The Gridiron Greats Assistance Funds Hall of Fame event started six years ago to honour retired players for their fabulous careers on the field, and the equally outstanding deeds off the field,” says Shannon Jordan, President of the Gridiron Greats. “This is a great way for us to honor deserving individuals not just because they were great players but because they have given so much back to the community." The annual Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame dinner and induction will be held on May 16, 2014 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to the CFL Alumni Support Fund.
