Shiffrin cleans up in Lienz with slalom triumph
LIENZ, Austria — Resurgent American ski star Mikaela Shiffrin made it a clean sweep in Lienz after winning Sunday's alpine World Cup slalom, a day after charging to victory in the giant slalom.Shiffrin posted the fastest time on both descents for the second day in a row, leaving Slovakia's exasperated Petra Vlhova 0.61sec back in second, while third-placed Michelle Gisin cried tears of joy to be on the podium.The two clear victories at Lienz marks a return to form for the nervy American who had bombed to 17th in her previous performance in Courchevel before taking a week off to concentrate on training.Defending overall champion Shiffrin finished her first run 0.26sec ahead of Vlhova, who produced a dynamic second descent to throw down the gauntlet."I needed to give it 110...

Norwich hold Tottenham in four-goal thriller
NORWICH, United Kingdom — Harry Kane's penalty eight minutes from time salvaged a point for Tottenham in a 2-2 thriller at Norwich on Saturday that exposed both sides' inability to defend.The bottom-of-the-table Canaries twice led through Mario Vrancic and a Serge Aurier own goal as they aimed to breath new life into their hopes of Premier League survival.Christian Eriksen's brilliant free-kick and Kane's spot-kick ensured Spurs did not slump to a third defeat in seven games, but they failed to take the chance to leapfrog Chelsea into the top four.The area of the field with work to do for Jose Mourinho remains obvious and Spurs have kept just one clean sheet in 10 games since he took over and were guilty of some calamitous defending.Norwich find themselves marooned at the...

Williamson urges more fighting spirit from New Zealand
MELBOURNE — New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said his team need to mirror the fighting spirit of century-maker Tom Blundell if they are to bounce back from their second-Test thrashing by Australia.Opener Blundell was the last man out in Melbourne after compiling a battling 121 as teammates threw their wickets away in the improbable 488-run chase to save the match.Williamson called it a "magnificent" innings."Obviously it was hard work out there, the task was immense. But you look at some small positives... that was a truly fantastic innings," he said after the 247-run defeat — their second Test loss inside four days."He led the way and it is important that we all take something from that."The effort from the bowlers throughout was something that is...

Paine hails teamwork as Australia crush New Zealand
MELBOURNE — Captain Tim Paine pointed to teamwork on Sunday as the crucial factor in Australia winning all four home Tests so far this summer — and all inside four days.After crushing Pakistan twice, they have now done the same to New Zealand, wrapping up their three-Test series against the Black Caps with a 247-run thrashing in Melbourne.A first-innings Travis Head century, 85 from Steve Smith and 79 by Paine took the game away from the visitors after Australia lost the toss and were put into bat.Pat Cummins, James Pattinson and Nathan Lyon then led the attack in dismissing New Zealand twice.Paine said it was all about players stepping up when others were having an off day."I think it shows that we're starting to spread the load," he said."When we work together as a...

Australia's Siddle announces international retirement
MELBOURNE — Veteran Australian bowler Peter Siddle announced his international retirement Sunday after a 67-Test career, with national coach Justin Langer praising him as giving his "heart and soul" to the team.The 35-year-old had been called up to the second Test squad in Melbourne but was not selected in the side to face New Zealand and decided to call it quits."Just being able to play, to walk out, wear the baggy green — I'd watched guys like Punter (Ricky Ponting), Steve Waugh, guys like that wear it, represent Australia," he said."Every time I stepped out was amazing, I don't think I could pick one special one."At the end of the day, to play one is amazing, to end up playing what I did is truly special."Siddle, who played a key role in...

Australia thrash New Zealand despite battling Blundell century
MELBOURNE — Nathan Lyon took four wickets as Australia thrashed New Zealand by 247 runs to win the second Test at Melbourne and the series Sunday with a battling century from opener Tom Blundell proving futile.The Black Caps, chasing a massive 488 to win, were in serious trouble after a fiery James Pattinson ripped through the top order to leave them reeling at 38 for three.But some fighting partnerships spearheaded by Blundell delayed the inevitable until Lyon worked his magic as the pitch deteriorated.Blundell was last man out for a swashbuckling 121 — his second Test century and his first for two years — as New Zealand were dismissed for 240 with Trent Boult not batting after fracturing his hand in the first innings.It was the second heavy defeat for the Black Caps, who lost by...
