BERLIN - Canada will be the third seed in womens team
pursuit at the upcoming Winter Olympics after a fifth-
place finish on Sunday at a long-track speedskating World
Cup event. Winnipegs Brittany Schussler, Ottawas Ivanie
Blondin and Reginas Kali Christ posted a six-lap time of
three minutes 2.81 seconds, missing out on a bronze medal
by 0.77 seconds. The Netherlands won the event in
2:58.19, ahead of Poland and South Korea. Canadas roster
for the team pursuit at the Sochi Olympics in February
will be decided after the speed-skating trials in Calgary
in late December and early January. Christine Nesbitt,
from London, Ont., is usually the fourth skater for the
Canadian womens team pursuit. However, the 2010 Olympic
1,000-metre champion was not in Berlin this week. The
Canadian women were fifth at the 2010 Winter Olympics in
Vancouver and won silver in 2006 in Turin, Italy. Canadas
men secured a spot in the pursuit event on Saturday.
Individually, Heather Richardson led a 1-2 for the United
States for her third win from four races in the womens
1,000. Richardson finished in 1:14.51 to beat compatriot
Brittany Bowe by 0.91 seconds, with Russias Olga
Fatkulina 0.98 off the pace in third. Calgarys Kaylin
Irvine recorded her first World Cup top 10 with a
1:16.07. That improves on her previous top World Cup
finish, 12th in Astana, Kazakhstan seven days earlier on
Dec. 1. "I felt like things Ive been working on in
practice finally came to together for a whole race
today." Irvine said. "Im very happy with it." Reginas
Marsha Hudey was 16th in womens B 1,000 metres. It was
Hudeys first World Cup race at that distance after six
starts in the 500 metres in her first international
season. In mens competition, Olympic champion Mo Tae-bum
of South Korea edged Japans Joji Kato by two thousandths
of a second to win the 500-metre event for the first time
this season. Mo, who won the 1,000 on Saturday, clocked
34.876 seconds to deny Kato what would have been his
second win of the season. Dutchman Michel Mulder was
third, in 34.95, in the final World Cup before the
Olympic Games in Sochi. William Dutton of Humboldt,
Sask., placed 20th in the A 500 metres. Dutchman Jorrit
Bergsma defeated compatriot Jan Blokhuijsen for his first
win of the season in the mens 5,000. Overall leader Sven
Kramer of the Netherlands didnt race and Bergsma took
full advantage by clocking 6:14.82 to beat Blokhuijsen by
0.84 seconds. South Koreas Lee Seung-hoon was third in
6:16.12. Torontos Jordan Belchos finished 10th in the
mens B 5,000 metre, followed by Mathieu Giroux of Pointe-
aux-Trembles, Que., 18th, and Reginas Lucas Makowsky was
20th. Lauletta-Giants-Jersey.html?cat=950">Kyle Lauletta

. The two-time former Formula One champion downplayed his
third-place finish three weeks ago in China and said
progress is going slow for Ferrari as it tries to make up
ground on Mercedes.BOSTON - On the last day of his
remarkable career, Derek Jeter performed one final
amazing feat.He brought Yankees and Red Sox fans
together.The rich and often antagonistic rivalry showed
its softer side Sunday: A pregame ceremony honouring New
Yorks retiring captain produced numerous standing
ovations from a crowd filled with shirts from both teams.
Jeter tipped his helmet to fans when he left the game for
a pinch runner in the third inning of the Yankees 9-5
win.He had no idea that past captains of local pro teams
would come out of the Red Sox dugout to embrace him as he
stood on the outfield grass just behind shortstop during
the ceremony.It was hard to envision what would happen
because this is a place where weve been an enemy for a
long, long time, Jeter said, and for them to flip the
switch this last time coming here made me feel extremely
proud.One by one, the captains came, starting with Carl
Yastrzemski. He was Bostons left fielder on Oct. 2, 1978,
in one of the rivalries most memorable games. Captain
Carl could only look up as a much-less accomplished
Yankees shortstop, light-hitting Bucky Dent, lofted a
three-run homer that lifted the Yankees to a 5-4 win in a
one-game AL East playoff.I started thinking about how
great this rivalry has been over the years and all the
things that have happened a€” the playoff games,
everything, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. And I dont
know how people could really unite a crowd like he did
today.Such big rivals, so much history between the teams,
but you would have thought that it was one team in a
sense today. And I dont know how many players can do that
in any sport. But I think it shows you the respect he has
even against your toughest rival.The other former
captains who embraced Jeter during the half-hour ceremony
were Jason Varitek of the Red Sox, Bobby Orr of the
Bruins, Troy Brown of the New England Patriots and Paul
Pierce of the Celtics.At the start of the ceremony, the
date SEPTEMBER 28 2014 was removed, one character at a
time, from the hand-operated scoreboard on the left-field
wall and replaced by WITH RESPECT 2 DEREK JETER. Then the
S in RESPECT was replaced by the No. 2.Jeter, the
designated hitter, waved his cap to a crowd as he left
the dugout for his 153rd game at Fenway, including the
playoffs, breaking a tie with Lou Gehrig and Mantle for
most among Yankees.Its the field where the Yankees
clinched the AL championship series in 1999 and the AL
East title in 2005. Its also the place where the Yankees
took a 3-0 lead in the 2004 ALCS then lost the next two
games at Fenway and the series in New York. Boston went
on to its first World Series title in 86 years.Boston
second baseman Dustin Pedroia presented a base with a No.
2 and blue pinstripes on it to Jeter. He also received a
green sign with whhite characters like those on the Green
Monster scoreboard saying RE2PECT.ddddddddddddA video was
shown of Jeter being doused in the Yankees clubhouse as
part of the Ice Bucket Challenge inspired by former
Boston College baseball captain Pete Frates to raise
awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. or Lou
Gehrigs disease, a condition Frates is afflicted with.
Then Frates rode onto the infield grass in his wheelchair
and Jeter came in to greet him.Michelle Brooks Thompson,
a Massachusetts native from the Voice TV show, sang
Respect on the infield dirt then Jeter shook hands and
hugged her as the cheers poured down.Ive been a part of
some chants here at Fenway Park, Jeter said with a laugh,
but I dont know if any of them were good.After his chop
single to third baseman Garin Cecchini a€” his 3,465th
hit and 1,311th RBI a€” Jeter got a standing ovation as
Brian McCann came out to pinch run and he slowly ran off
the field to complete his 20th big league season, pointed
to the Boston dugout and embraced pitcher Clay
Buchholz.He said he told Buchholz, I know this is kind of
odd but I just want to say Ive enjoyed competing against
you over the years and good luck.Approaching the Yankees
dugout after the teams last at-bat by a player with
single-digit uniform number, the 40-year-old who has worn
No. 2 since his rookie season lifted his helmet to
recognize the cheers and was hugged on the warning track
by Mark Teixeira and Brett Gardner. Boston players stood
in their dugout and applauded.The ovation continued as
others in his dugout congratulated their leader. Jeters
parents watched from the stands.The final hit left him
with a .310 career batting average, raising it from 30945
to .30951. And it came at Fenway Park, the same field
where Mantle played his finale exactly 46 years
earlier.Jeter had lined out to shortstop Jemile Weeks in
the first inning.The last active member of the Core Four
that included Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Andy
Pettitte, Jeter led the Yankees to 13 AL East titles,
seven AL pennants and five World Series championships. He
broke an ankle in the 2012 AL championship series opener
and was limited to 17 games the following season. He
dropped off this year to a .256 average with four homers
and 50 RBIs.Before the game, Boston manager John Farrell
praised Jeter for a grace and a dignity, an integrity
that probably is unmatched by others.Jeter said he
considered not playing in Boston after his dramatic walk
off single in his Yankee Stadium finale on Thursday
night. He sat out Friday nights game but went 1 for 2 as
the designated hitter Saturday.There were a lot of fans
that told me that they came a long way to see these last
games so I felt it was right to play, he said. I played
out of respect for this rivalry and the fans.
