Maelle Ricker needs surgery after suffering a wrist injury Tuesday. The West
Vancouver, B.C., native was injured during pre-Olympic training, putting her
appearance at next months Winter Games in Sochi, Russia in doubt. Steven Hills,
Canada Snowboards executive director, couldnt say whether or not the injury was
a break or fracture and expected to release further details Wednesday. He added
he expects Ricker, the defending world champion, would still be able to compete
at the Olympics. "While the timing of this injury is very unfortunate, we know
that Maelle is an incredibly resilient athlete that has battled back from
several injuries over her career to accomplish great things for Canada," said
Hills in a release. "We hope that Maelles surgery is successful and believe that
she will have every opportunity to join Team Canada in Sochi with the goal of
competing in the snowboard cross event on February 16." Carle Brenneman of
Whistler, B.C., would replace Ricker if she cannot compete at the Olympics. The
35-year-old Ricker became the first Canadian woman to win Olympic gold on home
soil at the 2010 Vancouver Games. She made her Olympic debut in 1998 on Canadas
halfpipe team at Nagano, Japan. Ricker returned to the Games in 2006 at Turin,
Italy, with the snowboard cross team. But the event ended in a crash during the
final that forced her to be airlifted to a hospital. Four years later she made
up for the disappointment in Italy with a gold medal in Vancouver.

-- Looking dazed and sunburned, U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad walked on to
the shore Monday, becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without
the help of a shark cage. The 64-year-old Nyad swam up to the beach just before
2 p.m. EDT, about 53 hours after she began her journey in Havana on Saturday. As
she approached, spectators waded into waist-high water and surrounded her,
taking pictures and cheering her on. "I have three messages. One is, we should
never, ever give up. Two is, youre never too old to chase your dream. Three is,
it looks like a solitary sport, but it is a team," she said on the beach. "I
have to say, Im a little bit out of it right now," Nyad said. She gestured
toward her swollen lips, and simply said "seawater." Her team said she had been
slurring her words while she was out in the water. She was on a stretcher on the
beach and received an IV before she was taken by ambulance to a hospital. "I
just wanted to get out of the sun," she said. It was Nyads fifth try to complete
the approximately 110-mile swim. She tried three times in 2011 and 2012. Her
first attempt was in 1978. "Its historic, marvelous," said Jose Miguel Diaz
Escrich, the Hemingway Marina commodore who helped organize the Cuba side of
Nyads multiple attempts. "I always thought she could do it given her internal
energy, her mental and physical strength, her will of iron," said Diaz Escrich,
whom Nyad has described as a longtime friend. "More than the athletic feat, she
wants to send a message of peace, love, friendship and happiness ... between the
people of the United States and Cuba," he said. Her last try was cut short amid
boat trouble, storms, unfavourable currents and jellyfish stings that left her
face puffy and swollen. This time, she wore a full bodysuit, gloves, booties and
a mask at night, when jellyfish rise to the surface. The new silicone mask
caused bruises inside her mouth, making it difficult for her to talk, she told
her team when shee was about 2 miles from land.

Doctors travelling with Nyad were worried about her slurred speech and her
breathing, but they didnt intervene, according to Nyads website. Nyads journey
began Saturday morning when she jumped from the seawall of the Hemingway Marina
into the warm waters off Havana. She stopped from time to time for nourishment,
but she never left the water. The support team accompanying her had equipment
that generated a faint electrical field around her, which was designed to keep
sharks at bay. A boat also dragged a line in the water to help keep her on
course. Sumaya Haddin, of Miami, had been tracking Nyads swim before her familys
trip to Key West this weekend. She was surprised to see Nyads flotilla from a
parasail off Smathers Beach on Monday morning. She thought Nyad wasnt due for
another day. "You couldnt see her, you could just see the boats. It was very
exciting," she said. Haddin said Nyad still had her fighting spirit when she got
to the beach. "Getting into the ambulance, she had her peace sign up, her fist
up. She was still fired up." Australian Susie Maroney successfully swam the
Strait in 1997 with a shark cage, which besides protection from the predators,
has a drafting effect that pulls a swimmer along. In 2012, Australian Penny
Palfrey swam 79 miles toward Florida without a cage before strong currents
forced her to abandon the attempt. This June, her countrywoman Chloe McCardel
made it 11 hours and 14 miles before jellyfish stings ended her bid. In 1978,
Walter Poenisch, an Ohio baker, claimed to have made the swim using flippers and
a snorkel. Critics say there was insufficient independent documentation to
verify his claim. Nyad first came to national attention in 1975 when she swam
the 28 miles around the island of Manhattan in just under eight hours. In 1979
she swam the 102 miles from North Bimini, Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Fla., in 27.5
hours. Nyad is also an author of three books, a motivational speaker and has
been a reporter and commentator for NPR.
