KITZBUEHEL, Austria - After winning a shortened version of the mens World Cup downhill on the Streif course, Kjetil Jansrud was hugged by a Norwegian teammate who has come short on 10 attempts to win the classic race. Nike Shox For Sale .Injured Aksel Lund Svindal, hoping to recover in time from a torn Achilles tendon to compete at next months world championships, was among the first to congratulate Jansrud, embracing him in the finish area.It was so good to see him, Jansrud said, before joking but its always dangerous when you see him smiling and laughing because that means his Achilles is probably pretty good and he will probably be faster than us at the worlds.With his third downhill victory of the season, Jansrud became the first Norwegian winner on the Streif since Lasse Kjus 11 years ago.Svindal, who has been racing here since 2003, had his best result when he placed second last year.I am really happy that Kjetil won, Svindal said. Watching a race from the sideline is not where you want to be. But thats life.With 45,000 spectators waiting in light snowfall, fog on the upper part of the course forced organizers to delay the race by two hours, and then significantly lower the start gate as conditions failed to improve.The clouds limited visibility, making it potentially dangerous for skiers who reach speeds of up to 140 kph (90 mph).In the shortest downhill in World Cup history, Jansrud clocked 58.16 seconds — half the time usually needed on the 3.3-kilometre (2-mile) course — to edge Dominik Paris by 0.02. The Italian won the super-G on the same course Friday.Guillermo Fayed of France came 0.21 behind in third for his second career podium.Kitzbuehel champion sounds really cool, Jansrud said. Its an amazing day, a huge victory for me ... Winning here was a big goal of mine.Benjamin Thomsen of Invermere, B.C., was 17th.While topping the leaderboard, Jansrud saw Paris clocking faster split times but the Italian lost more than three-tenths in the finish section.I wasnt happy that we started from the Seidlalm as my best part is the upper part of the hill, Jansrud said. We always want to run the full race in Kitzbuehel. But first priority is the safety so it was a good call.Jansrud closed the gap on overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher, who doesnt compete in downhill, to 82 points. However, the Austrian has two slaloms coming up — in Kitzbuehel on Sunday and nearby Schladming on Tuesday — to extend his lead.Paris came just short of his second win in two days.Those two-hundredths annoy me a bit, said the Italian, who won the downhill two years ago. But its great to be on the podium. The race was great. Even with the shorter run, it was a fair race.American Steven Nyman, who won the downhill in Val Gardena last month, was 0.41 back in fifth, and Olympic champion Matthias Mayer of Austria trailed Jansrud by 0.47 in 10th.Last years winner Hannes Reichelt of Austria finished 1.23 off the lead and shared 34th with Swiss skiers Mauro Caviezel and 2009 winner and 2010 Olympic champion, Didier Defago, who raced the Streif for the last time before retiring at the end of the season.It was the final mens World Cup speed race before the world championships in Beaver Creek, Colorado, in February.The 75th edition of the traditional Hahnenkamm races is concluded by a slalom on Sunday.

The pair battled to a draw over 10 clench-filled rounds on Friday night at Montreals Olympic Stadium. Judge Jack Woodburn saw things for the hometown fighter Alcine with a 96-94 scorecard while Benoit Roussel scored the action for the visiting Rodriguez, 97-93. Judge Pasquale Procopio scored things even at 95-95. "We upset the apple cart just a little bit," said trainer Buddy McGirt, who reunited with Alcine for the first time since 2009 when he guided the Haitian born fighter to a pair of victories. "Im happy with the draw, I dont think they could have called it any other way. It was close. All we had to do with this fight was keep it basic, use the jab" Rodriguez, who was coming off a three destruction at the hands of former champion Miguel Cotto, maintained he won the fight but thought that his own performance could have been better. "Coming back I was tight in there, really tight. I couldnt get my combinations going in there like I usually do. But I still believe I won the fight cleanly. He never caught me with a clean punch and was never able to hurt me." The bout often resembled exactly what was, two fighters on the back-nine of their careers, often sloppy, filled with lots of holding and ordered breaks from referee Michael Griffin. Alcine (35-7-2) was at his best when working his jab but only occasionally was he able to follow it upp with anything significant. Cheap Nike Shox Outlet. The former world champion was a long way from his glory days of 2007 where he held the WBA championship belt at 154 pounds. The Montreal fighter who now calls California home once again kept his best for the crowd of approximately 1,500 who were clearly on his side. It is the second time Alcine has been brought in as an opponent, and the second time he has surprised. In 2011 he was brought in as fodder for middleweight hopeful David Lemieux who was coming off his first career loss. Alcine shocked the Lemieux and the world with a majority decision in their 12 round bout. Instead of reviving his career, Alcine proceeded to lose his next five fights. At 38, Alcine was supposed to have been the perfect tonic for Rodriguez (28-7-4) who fallen against Cotto and in his shot at the 154-pound crown in 2012 versus Austin Trout. "We were brought in to lose," said McGirt, glad of the effort his fighter put in. "It was a frustrating fight, anytime I got close to the guy, he kept on grabbing me," said Rodriguez. "Im sure when I get back home and watch the fight, Ill see I clearly won it." Alcine predictably also thought he was on the winning side. "This was not the right decision for this fight, The guy is young," said the former champ of his 34 year-old opponent. All the eyes are on him and for them, Im old. I think for next time, there wont be any doubt, I will win by knockout. No doubt." ' ' '
