Black- and Whitelist » Husseys determined 59

COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. - Mikaela Shiffrin has hardly had time to catch her breath since the world last saw the vivacious teen bounding to the slalom title in breathtaking fashion — remember, she nearly fell — at the Sochi Olympics.Shes walked the red carpet at award ceremonies, taken online classes (she wants to be an environmental engineer when she grows up), been a fixture in the weight room (for more muscle definition) and sharpened her technique so she can accelerate her game plan.More speed is next on the agenda for the 19-year-old technical specialist. Shiffrin will sprinkle in a few super-G races to her schedule this season.All part of the gradual development of the young talent whos rapidly becoming the face of skiing — if shes not there already.It (notoriety) is starting to pick up a bit, said Shiffrin, who will race in a World Cup giant slalom and slalom this weekend in Aspen. At every training session, more people know who I am, maybe want a picture or an autograph. Otherwise, though, its been pretty calm and enjoyable.Shiffrin got off to a roaring start this season, winning the opening giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, in October. Her first career win in that discipline this soon in the year was a little unexpected, considering she just started breaking in a new pair of GS skis a few months ago.It has her thinking even grander thoughts, with possibly taking the starting line for a super-G race in, say, Val dIsere, France, next month.Thats a big leap for the skier whos taken incremental steps in her growth. She feels ready, though, for super-G races that can reach speed around 70 mph.My coach and I decided that if my giant slalom is going in right direction — and hopefully based off how did at Soelden it is — wed try to race some super-Gs this year, Shiffrin explained. Im feeling much more comfortable on my skis now.Hasnt she always?After all, shes been billed as the next big thing on the slopes for years, and lived up to that lofty reputation at every turn. With her win in Soelden, she became just the eighth female skier to win 10 or more World Cup races as a teenager. Austrian standout Annemarie Moser-Proell holds the record with 27 wins before turning 20.Shiffrin doesnt turn 20 until March, so she has time to add to her total.I never really predicted how much success I was going to have. I never even tried to, Shiffrin said. I dont think its something you can predict. I tried to work as hard as I could, to get my skiing where I thought it needed to be to race World Cup. Once I got to the level of World Cup, I wanted to win a World Cup. Once I won a World Cup, I wanted to win more.Theres always a higher level to shoot for.Shiffrin has a little confession to make: She doesnt enjoy watching replays of her winning Olympic slalom run from last February.Makes her too nervous, especially the part where about halfway through the second leg she briefly lost her balance. Her left ski rose too far off the snow and her chance at a gold medal in the event shes dominated for two years seemed about to slip away.But she recovered. And later, wore the gold medal around her neck.When she does interviews and its shown to her, she tries to stay calm, but all she wants to do is shield her eyes from watching that near tumble.Even now, my heart is beating out of my chest. My toes are in my throat, she said. Its a really nervous feeling. Every time, its like, Why did I do that?Shiffrin has that gold medal locked up and doesnt want to disclose the location because, theyd maybe go and steal it.But doesnt she want to show it off?Mine is not on display, said Shiffrin, whos looking forward to the world championships being held near her hometown of Eagle-Vail in February so she can sleep in her own bed. That would be pretentious.And no one would ever accuse her of being pretentious.This summer has flown by for Shiffrin.Sure, shes done some fun things — such as attending the ESPY Awards — but she spent most of her time honing her technique or in the gym working out. She wants to be stronger for the super-G races, since its a longer and more grueling discipline. Shes also cut fatty meats from her diet.Were trying to find the limit of what we can bring into ski racing, Shiffrin said. Custom Baltimore Orioles Nike Jerseys .

Watch the video above or click on this link to hear Collingwoods memories of that triumph…Group D: West Indies 60-2 (Gayle 25) beat England 191-5 (Morgan 55) by eight wickets on D/LEnglands only defeat came in their opening match - and it jarred. Debutants Michael Lumb (28 off 18) and Craig Kieswetter (26 off 14) blasted England to 66-2 off 6.3 overs before Eoin Morgan (55 off 35) and Luke Wright (45no off 27) ran amok in a devastating 95-run stand. Cavalier Chris Gayle retaliated with two sixes in a 12-ball 25 before rain had the final say in the hosts favour - Collingwood less-than-impressed with West Indies still needing 132 more off 14.1 overs. Craig Kieswetter makes an instant impact, hitting Ravi Rampaul for six Memorable moment: Morgans audacious reverse-lap for four after he and Wright (two) had plundered three sixes off as many Ravi Rampaul balls, the last a free-hit.Colly says: Kieswetter was one of the hardest hitters of a cricket ball in world cricket. I remember rifling into the boys that if a spinner was on in the first over and you want to take him down, take him down - thats your job. There was a really aggressive mind-set. It was a hard defeat to take because wed done so much that was good in the first 20 overs.Group D: England 120-8 (Morgan 45) v Ireland 14-1 - match abandonedRain ruled again at Providence Stadium again but England qualified for the Super Eights despite the washout by virtue of a higher run-rate - reward for their first-match salvo. But for a stoic 45 from former Ireland international Eoin Morgan, England might have been packing their bags as Luke Wrights 20 was the next best score. Both fell to Boyd Rankin (2-25) after Kevin OBrien and Trent Johnston (1-14) had terrorised the top-order. Eoin Morgan stands firm - and goes on the offensive - against Ireland Memorable moment: Lumb launching himself at square leg to claim a sensational diving catch to remove Paul Stirling for a duck.Colly says: We scraped through the early stages of the tournament but as soon as we got momentum, it was almost like a juggernaut getting faster and faster and nobody could stop us. Everybody settled down; everybody knew their role in the side and everybody was performing their role very well.Super Eights: Pakistan 147-9 (Yardy 2-19) lost to England 151-4 (Pietersen 73no) by six wicketsPlayer-of-the-tournament Kevin Pietersen made his first major contribution of the campaign to steer England to their first victory with three balls left after an all-round impressive display by the bowlers. Michael Yardy was the pick, returning 2-19 from his allocation - removing Mohammad Hafeez and Misbah-ul-Haq to crank up the pressure as runs proved tough to come by. Kamran Akmal and Shahid Afridi look on as Kevin Pietersen goes aerial Memorable moment: Shahid Afridis calamitous calling - running himself out first ball with a suicidal single into the covers off Yardy.Colly says: You hardly ever get a spinner bowling three overs on a trot in T20 cricket now but I used to be able to hand the ball to Graeme Swann and Michael Yardy and say I know whats going to happen in the next eight overs - theyll stem the flow of runs and take a few wickets. Everybody used to say how can Yardy get away with not going for many runs but he was a wily campaigner.Super Eights: England 168-7 (Pietersen 53) beat South Africa 129 (Sidebottom 3-23) by 39 runsSouth Africa were swept aside in emphatic fashion, like Pakistan succumbing to the potent Swann-Yardy combination, which returned 5-55. JP Duminy (39 off 25 balls) ploughed more or less a lone furrow after Kieswetter (41 off 42) and Pietersen (53 off 33) chalked up 94 for Englands second wicket.dddddddddddd Michael Yardy celebrates taking the wicket of Herschelle Gibbs Memorable moment: Pietersen reaching his 50 off 30 balls with a flamingo four two balls after pulling a slower Dale Steyn delivery onto the roof of one of the Bridgetown stands.Colly says: Pietersen was our rock. Hes such a powerful player that he didnt have to take huge risks straight away; he was a very composed T20 player. You really do need a world-class player to stand out to win tournaments and he was the man for us.Super Eights: New Zealand 149-6 (Taylor 44) lost to England 153-7 (Morgan 40) by three wicketsEven shorn of Kevin Pietersens services - Englands No 3 having flown home to attend the birth of his son - England had too much might for a New Zealand outfit propelled to a challenging total by Ross Taylors sparkling 44. At 66-4 Englands hopes were in the balance despite a feisty knock from Lumb (32 off 21) before Tim Bresnan (23no off 11) ensured Eoin Morgans gutsy 40 wasnt in vain. Tim Bresnan stares down his man after removing Jesse Ryder Memorable moment: Morgan showcases his sublime timing with a one-handed maximum off Scott Styris over long on thats recorded at 84-metres long.Colly says: We knew we were going to miss a big player but our bowlers were doing so well - we went on a nine-game unbeaten run and didnt go for over 149 runs, which is ludicrous - that we were confident wed knock off the runs.Semi-final: Sri Lanka 128-6 (Mathews 58) lost to England 132-3 (Pietersen 42no) by seven wicketsSri Lanka failed to make their second successive final as Englands power-packed top-order made light work of chasing down a modest target, carried by Angelo Mathews 58 off 45 balls. Kieswetter (39) and Lumb (33) knocked off 68 runs in the first 8.1 overs before Pietersen, back in the fold, eased England into the final with a forceful 42no off 26 balls. Michael Lumb steers the ball away past Kumar Sangakkara Memorable moment: Chamara Kapugedera took advice to throw the bat too literally, his willow flying out of his hands and through square leg as he miscued a pull off Stuart Broad.Colly says: The team was a real pleasure to captain because I could say guys, you know exactly what youre doing; its working against every team; just go about your business. I was always a big believer of getting your best T20 bowlers in the side and then your main batsmen will knock the runs off.FINAL: Australia 147-6 (D Hussey 59) lost to England 148-3 (Kieswetter 63) by seven wicketsEngland romped to their first ICC global title with 18 balls remaining after Kieswetter (63 off 49) and Pietersen (47 off 31) put on 111 for the second wicket, leaving Collingwood to hit the winning runs and spark wild celebrations. That Australia recovered from 45-4 was down to David Husseys determined 59; Cameron Whites 19-ball 30 gave the innings some middle momentum but in vain. Graeme Swann and Pietersen celebrate with skipper Paul Collingwood Memorable moment: Collingwood leaping in the air and being mobbed by his on-rushing team-mates after striking Watson through midwicket for the winning runs.Colly says: It was sure euphoria. Even when we were celebrating up on the podium as a team I you are pinching yourself because its very hard to believe.
