ARE, Sweden - Having waited nearly four years for a World Cup win, Maria Pietilae-Holmner was lost for words when it finally came. Authentic CM Punk Jersey .The Swede beat overall leader Tina Maze by just .06 seconds to clinch victory in Saturdays slalom, with home fans given extra reason to cheer as Frida Hansdotter finished third on her 29th birthday.Talking to the media proved more difficult for Pietilae-Holmner than taming the rock-hard Olympia course in freezing conditions that dropped to minus 17 degrees Celsius (1 degree Fahrenheit) in the mornings first run.Im getting emotional again, Pietilae-Holmner said as she tried to describe what it meant to win her first race since a City Event in Munich in January, 2011.For a long moment, no words came out, as she sat hunched forward, wiping tears away from her eyes.It was a ninth career podium for the 28-year-old Pietilae-Holmner and first since finishing second here in a slalom race in March.Her only other career victory was also in slalom — at Aspen, Colorado two months before Munich.This means so much, said Pietilae-Holmner , who won in a combined time of 1 minute, 43.65 seconds. Its really big to prove I can be the best one again and to do it at home is even bigger.After crossing the finish line, she paused, looked at the giant screen and then held her hands over her head as she saw the winners light.Emotional is the right word, she said. I decided to just enjoy it. Sometimes its easy to get a little bit stressed. I was trying to enjoy the nice view. Im a skier who hears everything, I can see my coaches on the way down, and for sure I heard the crowd.Hansdotter finished .32 behind in third for her 13th career podium.Its nice to share the podium with Maria, Hansdotter said.Sixth fastest after the first run, Olympic slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States just missed out on another podium, finishing fourth after a brilliant second run full of her trademark aggression. Marie-Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., was 11th and Erin Mielzynski of Collingwood, Ont., was 21st.Shiffrin, who won the season-opening giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, in October, posted 51.65 and was just .02 behind a relieved Hansdotter, who clinched her third podium this season, all of them in slalom.Another learning experience, said the 19-year-old Shiffrin, who was a disappointing 10th in Fridays giant slalom. Im much happier to be fourth and two hundredths off the podium (than 10th).The 31-year-old Maze was aiming for her fourth victory of the season and second in slalom, after winning in Levi, Finland, last month.Maze is right back where she was two years ago and looks like shes hammering, Shiffrin said. With the world championships coming up (in late March) everyones really gunning for the podium and Im trying to do the same. I have to learn to have that fighting spirit, not just a winning spirit.After complaining of jet lag on Friday, having made the switch from North America to Europe earlier this week, Maze is looking forward to much-needed rest before heading to the French Alpine resort of Val dIsere for next weeks speed races.Now its two days of sleeping, Im really happy about that, Maze said. The body needs some time to get used to it.

Authentic Stan Mikita Jersey . Goins is the early favourite to win the starting job at second base. Pillar is an outsider to secure a role off the bench, which becomes an even more difficult spot to win if the number of back up jobs is reduced by one. That happens if the Blue Jays decide to start the season with an eight man bullpen. http://www.cheapblackhawksjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-keith-magnuson-jersey .40 metres at the Drake Relays. Drouin, from Corunna, Ont., bested his own record of 2.38 metres set in Aug.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Safety Patrick Chung is back with the New England Patriots as the latest addition to their rebuilt secondary. After one season with the Philadelphia Eagles, Chung signed on Thursday with the team that drafted him in the second round in 2009. "Im glad to be back. Its like family here. It feels like home," Chung said in a conference call. "I love the fans, love the coaches, love the environment, love the city." The Patriots already have added free agent cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner and have a vacancy at starting safety after releasing Steve Gregory. Safety Devin McCourty and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard, a starter last season who could be replaced by Browner, return. Chung said hes excited to be in the same secondary as Revis and Browner. "Youve got two playmakers like that on the outside," Chung said. "It definitely helps." Chung, 26, was released by the Eagles on March 11, the same day they agreed with former New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins on a three-year contract. Both were drafted in 2009, Jenkins with the 14th pick and Chung with the 34th. "I cant really tell you why things didnt work out in Philly. I dont make those decisions," said Chung, who praised the city and the teams coaches and personnell, "but I feel now that this has happened, I feel like its a better fit here. Authentic Chris Kunitz Jersey. Ive been here for four years. I know the system. I know the coaches. The coaches are cool. I know most of the players. "Now Im back in the city that gave me my very first chance." Chung started 10 of the 12 games in which he played last season, making 56 tackles with one fumble recovery and no interceptions. In four seasons with the Patriots, he had seven interceptions while playing in 50 of the 64 regular-season games with 30 starts. Chung was plagued by injuries and never showed the consistency expected of him when the Patriots drafted him out of Oregon. He missed seven of the last eight regular-season games in 2011 with a foot injury and was sidelined for four games in 2012 with shoulder and hamstring problems. He became a free agent after the 2012 season and signed with the Eagles on March 12, 2013. He said he doesnt feel hes a different player than he was before leaving the Patriots and has no expectations for what his role might be. "I feel Im the same," Chung said. "The scheme, I guess, would fit a lot better." When the Eagles released him he had "no clue" he would return to the Patriots. But then, "I got the call and I was excited. I was happy. I was relieved."
