THE Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) will no longer be sending a representative of cyclists to the Caribbean Elite Cycle Road Racing Championships scheduled for October 21 and 22 in Martinique.This is according to Assistant Racing Secretary of the GCF, Joseph Britton, who told Chronicle Sport the Federation is cash-strapped and cannot afford to finance the team’s participation at the championships.Britton said the cyclists that had been selected were asked to pay their way to Martinique since corporate Guyana responded negatively to the Federation’s request for financial assistance. However, the selectees are unable to raise the finances needed for the trip.Originally, the GCF had selected Geron Williams, Jermaine Burrowes, Paul DeNobrega and Jamal John as the team members with Shaquel Agard as the standby.One week later, the GCF omitted Williams and Burrowes and included Raynauth Jeffrey, Agard and Alonzo Ambrose with a lone female in United Kingdon-iased Guyanese Clair Fraser-Green on the team.The selectees were required to travel to Paramaribo, Suriname last week to secure their visas to travel to the French Caribbean island for the championships but were unable to do so since the cost to reach Paramarib, as well as cost for each visa and insurance, is prohibitive.In an effort to ensure Guyana’s participation at the championships, the GCF president Horrace Burrowes contributed $50 000 for DeNobrega and Agard’s travel and visa cost, but according to Britton, the amount is insufficient.Speaking to Chronicle Sport, DeNobrega explained that the cost of each visa is $15 000 then the cost for insurance is $6 000 “so the total cost for those things alone for himself and Agard amounts to $42 000 … so how will the remaining $8 000 take me and Shaquel to Suriname and back plus pay for hotel and meals while our visas are being processed?” DeNobrega questioned.Meanwhile, Williams said he only learnt of his selection via Facebook as he was never informed by the GCF.Asked if he was informed of his omission from the team, Williams said, “I was never informed of that either. No one told me anything.”When asked about this, Britton, who was selected as manager of the team, said, “I think he (Williams) was informed of his selection, but I’m not certain if he was informed of his omission.”Asked why Williams was omitted from the original team, Britton said, “We heard that he was injured, so we replaced him.”However, since returning from his United States of America base approximately three weeks ago, Williams has won a 35-lap circuit in the National Park and two days ago (Sunday) placed fifth in a 80-mile cycle road race.He is set to participate in another road race on Sunday, the DIGICEL Breast Cancer Awareness race that will be staged around the outer circuit of the National Park.
Tags: ice hockeySyracuseWest Genesee To expect the Syracuse and West Genesee ice hockey teams to replicate the four-overtime epic they waged together on Syracuse War Memorial ice a year ago with the Section III Division I championship on the line might prove too much to ask.But at least the Cougars and Wildcats will have an opportunity to do so after they both turned back familiar challengers in Wednesday night’s pair of sectional semifinals.At Meachem Rink, Tommy Rioux’s late goal thwarted a Baldwinsville comeback and gave Syracuse a 3-2 victory. A few miles away at Shove Park, Jeremy Keyes’ hat trick keyed WG’s 4-1 win over Fayetteville-Manlius. A minute into the third period, though, Ryan Dickinson broke the Bees’ skid, cutting the deficit in half, and when Luke Hoskin put the puck past Alex Moreno with 6:39 left in regulation, it stood at 2-2.The though of overtime and an uncertain outcome spurred Syracuse into a furious final charge that culminated with Rioux, off passes from Luke Dwyer and Nelson Jones, beat O’Neill for the game-winner with three minutes to play, the Bees unable to respond even with an extra attacker as time wound down.By then, the Cougars already knew that West Genesee, in its traditional tough and comprehensive manner, had repeated what it had done in 2019, ousting Fayetteville-Manlius.WG had defeated the Hornets 2-1 in their lone regular-season encounter, but that was on Dec. 10, and both teams had changed and improved plenty in the 2 1/2 months since, F-M having won nine of 10 entering the contest.From the opening face-off, F-M’s intent was clear – be physical every time it had the puck and plenty of times it did not. and use its speed to generate opportunities, which did lead to some early chances that the Wildcats turned back.But when the Hornets took its first penalty of the game, WG immediately capitalized, taking a 1-0 lead 5:32 into the first period as Keyes skated around with the puck and, from the point, fired it past Konrad Walberger.They remained 1-0 for a while, but when F-M turned it over midway through the second period deep in its own end, Keyes scored again to make it 2-0, a goal the Hornets answered 79 seconds later as John Manzi tipped in a shot from the point, with assists going to Ben Hammond and Will Duncanson.Late in the period, the Wildcats attacked again, and a shot that Walberger was unable to hold on to got put home by Liam Sexton, the Wildcats taking a 3-1 advantage to the final frame.Any hopes of a Hornets comeback got shut down by WG’s defense, who limited the visitors to just three shots in those final 15 minutes, even when F-M had a pair of power plays. Keyes would complete his hat trick by earning an empty-net goal with 1:26 left.Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInRedditComment on this Story 
Of the two games, the Cougars-Bees battle turned out to have more drama even though, just two weeks earlier, Syracuse had blanked B’ville 4-0 and had dominated that contest from start to finish.But B’ville did remember that it beat Syracuse in another 3-2 decision back in the Dec. 7 final of the Bobby Conklin Tournament and, perhaps bolstered by that past knowledge, it played the Cougars to a first-period scoreless draw.Syracuse appeared to get control in the second period thanks to Ryan Durand, who twice put shots past Bees goalie Brad O’Neill, each goal assisted by Kaleb Benedict, as the Cougars’ shutout streak against the Bees continued, the score 2-0 with one period left.

Askren then said that he has nothing else to prove and he just wanted to show that he is the best in the world. However, UFC President traded flyweight legend Demetrius Johnson to ONE Championship where DJ has already gained a title and in return signed in Ben ‘The Funky’ Askren. Ben managed a controversial win on his UFC debut against Robbie Lawler and then faced two humiliating losses on the trot in the UFC. Jorge Masvidal knocked out Askren clean in just five seconds and after Demian’s victory over him, Ben Askren is considering retirement.In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Ben Askren said that he thinks that it is his time for cost-analysis. He needs to sit down with his family and think about his future. Ben Askren also mentioned that he never really loved fighting in the first place and he did it only to show the world that he can do it. Looks like the 1-2 run in his UFC career so far has shaken Ben Askren. SUBSCRIBE TO US Written By WATCH US LIVE
Jamaica’s first ever female bobsleigh team to compete in a Winter Olympics finished 19th out of 20 participating countries in the bobsleigh event in Pyeongchang, Korea Wednesday.The team totalled 3:24.94 to place one spot higher than the Nigerians who were also competing in a Winter Olympics for the first time.The Jamaican team ran into difficulty last week after their coach, German Sandra Kiriasis, a 2006 bobsleigh gold medal winner, left the Jamaican setup and took the team’s only sleigh which she said belonged to her.Kiriasis resigned after being reassigned to the role of track performance analyst from driving coach.Germany’s Mariama Jamanka and Lisa Buckwitz struck gold by beating USA by seven-hundredths of a second.The Germans, starting last in the final run, were behind America’s Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs in the upper sections before making up ground at the bottom to steal the title.Germany, with a cumulative winning time of 3min 22.45sec, held their fourth Olympic title in women’s bobsleigh to gain on the USA’s total of five.
Newsroom GuidelinesNews TipsContact UsReport an Error Assuming he likes his options, Masahiro Tanaka will belong to one major league team by 2 p.m. Friday. The Japanese pitcher has many options — and lots of money — to choose from before the deadline.Tanaka and his agent, Casey Close, met with several teams Jan. 9 in Los Angeles. Now, with less than 72 hours to go, their choices are reportedly down to five teams: the Dodgers, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks. Nikkan Sports reported that the Dodgers and Yankees were the highest bidders, offering contracts in excess of six years and $100 million.Bidding has escalated in part because of a thin free-agent class of starting pitchers, in part because of Tanaka’s record of success (he went 24-0 last year in Japan’s top league), in part because he’s younger than most free agents at age 25.Teams are hoping he can become a major league ace along the lines of countryman Yu Darvish, but Tanaka’s environment will undoubtedly play an essential role in his success. DODGERS (3:2)Pros: Tanaka won’t have to shoulder the burden of being the undisputed ace who leads the Dodgers to the promised land. They’re already a well-balanced team with World Series aspirations. Hideo Nomo made Los Angeles a destination for Japanese players in 1995. Tanaka’s wife reportedly would prefer to remain on the Pacific coast.Cons: If Tanaka wants the spotlight all to himself, he’ll have to fight for attention among all the Dodgers’ superstars — at least among the American media. If he doesn’t, there are no Japanese players around to deflect the cavalcade of attention. The Dodgers haven’t had one since Kuroda left town in 2011. CUBS (10:1)Pros: Every member of the Cubs’ projected lineup and starting rotation is 30 or younger, and the farm system boasts some high-caliber position player prospects. In theory, that puts the Cubs in a decent position of financial flexibility and stability for the future — two things that will be hard for Tanaka to turn down.Cons: Coming off a 96-loss campaign in 2013, the Cubs can’t offer Tanaka a chance at a second consecutive championship. Their major-league payroll has decreased each of the last three seasons, and management may be counting on the new crop of youngsters to realize its potential — otherwise Tanaka will have no shot at a World Series anytime soon.WHITE SOX (12:1)Pros: Like their cross-town brethren, the White Sox are rebuilding — arguably with more major-league ready youngsters than the Cubs. Left-hander Chris Sale would be an ideal complement to the right-handed Tanaka at the top of the rotation. Cons: A 99-loss season in 2013 is a lot to rebound from. Even if they do, the White Sox must convince Tanaka they can reverse a trend of finishing below .500 every other year since winning the 2006 World Series. Not much history to compete with there.DIAMONDBACKS (15:1)Pros: The D-backs haven’t had a losing season since Kirk Gibson became their manager. Tanaka would join under-30 stars in Patrick Corbin, Addison Reed, Paul Goldschmidt and Mark Trumbo to form a solid young nucleus. Phoenix is a large city but isn’t a major media hub, something no other team on this list can offer.Cons: No team has a shorter history, or a shorter history of Japanese players (Takashi Saito’s 16 games in 2012 are the extent of it). The D-Backs have the disadvantage of being stuck in the same division as the Dodgers and Giants, who have won five of the last six NL West titles.For the latest Dodgers news follow J.P. Hoornstra’s Inside the Dodgers blog.
Here’s what each of the five teams can offer Tanaka, along with our predicted odds of where he’ll land:YANKEES (2:3)Pros: The Yankees have a history of success (27 championships, but only one in the last 13 years) and plenty of Japanese stars who can vouch for it. If Hiroki Kuroda and Ichiro Suzuki can convince Tanaka to join them this year, the Yankees will have the No. 1 starter they need to compete with the American League’s best teams — on paper, at least.Cons: The Yankees’ roster was the oldest in the league last year, and will need to be healthier to contend in 2014. The rotation is particularly fragile. Tanaka pitched the final inning of Japan’s World Series one day after he started and threw 160 pitches; he might pitch on back-to-back days again if injuries befall starters C.C. Sabathia, Kuroda or Ivan Nova.
Newsroom GuidelinesNews TipsContact UsReport an Error It appears the only thing that can slow Kershaw down is if Roberts chooses to pitch him on five days rest Sunday against Bartolo Colon, rather than the usual four days rest on Saturday against Mets ace Noah Syndergaard. What will win out: a pitcher’s showdown for the ages or one manager’s common sense?“I like that theory as far as using that day for everyone to get the extra day,” Roberts said. “It’s been documented by everyone that starting pitchers get the extra day, they perform better. Even for Clayton, his numbers speak to, when he gets an extra day, he performs even better.”Not really, if you’re into splitting hairs. Opponents hit slightly better against Kershaw on five days rest (.210 batting average, .269 on-base percentage, .305 slugging percentage) than four (.202/.261/.303). It’s a statistical flip of the coin for the pitcher and a larger question for the manager, who would be forced to start Kenta Maeda on no fewer than six days rest.“We’re trying to figure out what we’re going to do as far as the off-day, giving guys an extra day, keeping guys on the same schedule,” Roberts said. “So yeah, we haven’t decided yet, but we’re in talks.” Urias maintaining humilityWhile the Dodgers enjoy a day off Thursday, pitcher Julio Urias will try to extend his streak of 27 consecutive scoreless innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 19-year-old left-hander is attempting to break a 111-year-old Pacific Coast League record (44).Luis Avilan has been there virtually since the streak began. The veteran relief pitcher, who was recalled from Triple-A on Monday, said the success hasn’t gone to Urias’ head.“I didn’t even know that he had that streak,” Avilan said. “Whenever you have a streak like that, the last thing you want to do is talk about it.”Urias is 4-1 with a league-leading 1.10 ERA. “He’s having fun because he’s having a really good moment right now. He’s making it look, like, really easy. I’ve played with a lot of prospects in my career and he’s one of the most humble prospects that I’ve ever seen.”McCarthy throws in bullpenReports of Brandon McCarthy‘s demise might have been premature. The right-handed pitcher threw a short bullpen session at Dodger Stadium, about 25 to 30 pitches, according to a team spokesperson. He took a brief step back from his every-fifth-day throwing program last week, then resumed playing long toss Monday. McCarthy wasn’t in the Dodgers clubhouse or on the field during media availability Tuesday. A week ago he said that he would need two or three more mound sessions against live hitters before going out on a minor league rehab assignment. If that’s still the case, McCarthy might only be weeks away from his rehab assignment — a fairly insignificant setback as Tommy John surgery processes go.AlsoThe Dodgers will continue with an eight-man bullpen through next week, Roberts said. “I still think we’re going to stick with that,” he said. “We’re managing to get through with a four-man bench and just giving us the flexibility with different guys in the pen is more of a priority.” … Scott Kazmir still hasn’t been cleared to take a full swing at the plate. The pitcher was limited to bunting and half-bunting/half-swinging during batting practice because of a lingering injury on his left hand/thumb. … Scott Van Slyke will rejoin the Dodgers no sooner than June 3, Roberts said. Van Slyke, who’s missed six weeks with a lower back injury, played first base in his first rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Considering how well he’s pitched every fifth day this month, might Clayton Kershaw actually get an extra day off before his next start?It’s a thought, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday. The team has a rare day off Thursday while it travels to New York to play the Mets. The Dodgers have played 18 games in 18 days, mixing in a 17-inning contest Sunday for good measure. The streak will reach 20 before the day off, so rest is a scarce quantity.Kershaw is a scarcer quantity, a once-in-a-generation pitcher in the midst of a ridiculous month. He’s 5-0 in five May starts, giving up three runs in 42 innings. The left-hander has faced 142 batters this month, 16 above the minimum.
LeBron James tallies his fifth triple-double of the season tonight with 28 points, 11 boards, and 16 assists. pic.twitter.com/z00zniaCCx— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) February 13, 2019″You either make it or you don’t make it,” James said after tying Wilt Chamberlain for the fifth most triple-doubles ever with 78. “That’s when you worry about it.”The Lakers have lost four of their past five games and James added: “Some guys have never played a playoff game before. “You can’t teach them that. It’s very important to understand how important every game is, no matter who you’re playing or where you are.”James — who signed a four-year, $154 million contract with the Lakers in the offseason — and the Lakers are back in action against the Rockets on Feb. 21.

Huntington went off on anonymous reporters after a scout told Sports Illustrated that Pirates first baseman Josh Bell was the most overrated player in the game.MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN“Josh Bell can’t play,” the scout wrote in a Pirates preview. “He’s not a good defender. He’s a big lump. He has bad agility, bad footwork. He can’t run. Supposedly he’s a big power threat, but he hit 12 home runs at first base. This is not a kid! This is his third year in the big leagues! I don’t think he’s got the ability to get better.”Huntington took offense to the quote, reiterated his support for Bell and called out the flaws in the ways some scouts still evaluate players. He pointed out how they perpetuate opinions which could be viewed as prejudiced against minority players.”The anonymous reports were more personal attacks than they were useful, helpful analysis of tools and abilities and how those abilities play,” Huntington said. “The amateur psycho-babble about players’ drive, makeup, and competitiveness. Unfortunately, so much of the information from the anonymous scouts appears to be based on archaic, racist stereotypes. The white players tended to be labeled as ‘gritty,’ ‘smart’ and ‘tough.’ Minority players seemed to be labeled as physically talented but maybe not the most talented or they had their work ethic or motivation repeatedly questioned.” Bell is coming off of two solid years for the Pirates posting batting averages of .255 and .261 while hitting a combined 38 home runs and averaging 153 games played.Huntington called the evaluation of Bell lazy.”So much of it, unfortunately, seemed to be based on archaic, racist stereotypes, which don’t have a place in our game,” the Pirates GM said. “That preview just reinforced that they still exist and there still is a lot of work to do to rid those, not only from our game but ideally from our society.” Pirates general manager Neal Huntington wants to get broad generalizations out of the scouting game, especially ones from anonymous evaluators.“Anonymous scouts are hacks,” Huntington told reporters last week, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “They drive me crazy.”
