PYEONGCHANG, South Korea - Organizers of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, have ruled out sharing the games with other countries
as a cost-cutting move.
Tracy
McGrady Jersey .The high cost of building the facility for bobsled, luge
and skeleton prompted the IOC to ask South Korea to use alternative sliding
venues already in use in Asia, North America or Europe.The IOC said it was only
an option, and Pyeongchang had the final call.The Pyeongchang organizing
committee (POCOG), which has resisted the move all along and continued to build
the $120 million facility, reaffirmed it was for the status quo.For now, it is
our wish to have all events staged in Pyeongchang, Gangneung and Jeongseon as
per our original bid plan, POCOG president Cho Yang-ho said on Friday.He said he
would accept further input from the IOC about sharing possibilities but said it
may be too late to change.It will be difficult to apply those (Agenda 2020)
recommendations to our plans at this stage, given that construction for all
competition venues is already in progress.We do not have much time, considering
test events are beginning in February 2016.Many prospective bidders for the 2022
Winter Olympics withdrew their initial interest due to sensitivity among
lawmakers and the public at the cost of building facilities and infrastructure
which, in some cases, has little use after the games.However, Cho said we are
developing solid legacy plans for post-games use of the venues, as well as
measures to control costs.
Kentavious
Caldwell-Pope Pistons Jersey . Pistorius denied the allegation that he
said to the close friend of the girlfriend he killed: "How can you sleep at
night?" The accusation by Kim Myers provided a bizarre twist during the trial of
the world-famous double-amputee Olympian, who is facing 25 years to life in
prison if convicted of premeditated murder for shooting dead Steenkamp, a
29-year-old model, at his home last year.
Andre

Eduardo Escobar homered, and the Minnesota Twins pulled away late to beat the
Colorado Rockies 9-3 on Saturday.

what it takes to make the team this season. "It caught me pretty good, dazed me
for that shift, but I didnt want to be off the ice for too long," he said after
practice, his lip still bleeding a little despite the plastic stitches holding
it together.Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - On a night the Bulls played
without Derrick Rose, it was time for Pau Gasol to take charge. The veteran
scored nearly half of Chicagos points in a 95-87 victory over the Boston Celtics
at United Center. Gasol dropped a career-high 46 points and pulled down 18
rebounds. He was truly the go-to player for the Bulls, who were without Rose due
to left knee soreness. Kirk Hinrich had 16 points and Jimmy Butler contributed
nine points, eight rebounds and a career-high 10 assists for the Bulls, who
snapped a two-game skid. Brandon Knight scored 20 for Milwaukee, which had won
its previous two games. We have to do better defensively when we see a guys got
it going, Knight said about defending Gasol. We should have been able to do some
different things just to slow him down. Gasols previous career-best was 44
points on March 28, 2006 when he played for Memphis. He went 17-of-30 from the
field and missed only one of his 13 free throws. Gasol had 40 points through
three quarters, and the Bulls pulled away in the fourth. That was always a good
sign for me when I am able to get a good base in the post and finish the first
couple of shots, Gasol said about playing against Zaza Pachulia. When the
jjumper is falling too you know youre on.
Caron
Butler Jersey. It was a good overall night. O.J. Mayos 3-pointer had the
visitors within 73-69 2 1/2 minutes into the period, but the Bulls scored the
next six and led by at least eight points the rest of the way. Gasol had 20
points in the first quarter to help the Bulls to a 29-19 lead after 12 minutes.
He scored the games first seven points. Milwaukee got as close as five in the
second quarter, but trailed 48-39 at the break. The visitors then went ahead
briefly early in the third when Khris Middletons layup made it 51-50. Gasol
responded by sinking a turnaround hook shot to start a 10-0 run. The Bucks were
within 68-62 going to the fourth and shot 61 percent in the last period, but the
Bulls countered by going 6-of-6 from the charity stripe. Game Notes Chicago held
a 51-37 rebounding advantage ... The Bulls have won the last five meetings ...
Jared Dudley scored 15 for Milwaukee, which had its five-game road winning
streak broken ... The Bulls shot 39.8 percent. Milwaukee has held its last 12
opponents to under 50 percent shooting, which is the teams longest such streak
since 14 games from Dec. 13, 2013 to Jan. 11, 2014.
