LA VILLA, Italy -- His back ravaged by a shooting pain that stretches all the way down his leg, Olympic giant slalom champion Ted Ligety can hardly ski at all these days.No wonder he lost control and slid out several gates into his opening run down the steep and dark Gran Risa course Sunday.Ive been getting injections and trying to get it sorted out but it hasnt really turned the corner yet, Ligety said. I just got to try to figure out how to calm it down. Theres not a direct, easy way of doing that.Backs and nerve issues are not like a knee thats cut and dry and you know what you need to do, Ligety added. Its really dependent person by person and situation by situation.Marcel Hirscher of Austria won the race to match Italian great Alberto Tomba for a record fourth GS win on the Gran Risa.Having already been slowed by back problems at the start of last season, Ligety tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a training accident in Germany in January.He returned to action in this seasons opening race in Soelden, Austria, in October, finishing fifth. Since then, its been a struggle for the Park City, Utah, resident, who has had three herniated disks in his career.Ligety will sit out a parallel GS on Monday.We got to get this physically taken care of so he can get his rhythm and timing back, U.S. head coach Sasha Rearick said. For any great champion its not technical its just the rhythm and timing of the movements. How those things fit together is where you gain your confidence. When you cant train, your rhythm and timing go off.Ligety has won 24 World Cup GS races, second only to Swedish legend Ingemar Stenmarks record of 46. Four years ago, Ligety won the first run by an almost unheard of 2.40 seconds en route to his second win in Alta Badia.At this point, Ligety is looking forward to the announced rule change for next season and the return of more modern and more extremely shaped skis, which are easier to turn.Thats going to be nice on all of our bodies, he said. Its a welcome change.The top American finishers Sunday were Tommy Ford in 13th and Ryan Cochran-Siegle in an impressive 20th with the No. 50 bib -- a career-best in GS.Tommy is dancing on his skis and has found a lot more speed, Rearick said. Ryan had never been here before and he just figured things out.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Keyshawn Johnson Jersey .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open.

After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Quinnen Williams Jets Jersey .S. hockey team after paying his dues as an NHL general manager for more than three decades and giving up a lot of his free time to help USA Hockey. CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds shuffled their starting rotation coming out of the All-Star break in an effort to limit innings for left-hander Brandon Finnegan. So right-hander Anthony DeSclafani will kick off the second half of the season when he faces right-hander Matt Garza and the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday at Great American Ball Park.Left-hander John Lamb will start Saturday and right-hander Dan Straily on Sunday followed by Finnegan.The heaviest workload has certainly been on the shoulders of Finnegan, Reds manager Bryan Price told The Cincinnati Enquirer. Were just being cognizant of workload. Straily is the most experienced pitcher coming in. DeSclafani and Lamb being affected by injury has decreased their probable workload for the season.Tweaking the rotation might be among the most insignificant change that Price will have to make during July.The rebuilding is expected to continue for Cincinnati (32-57), which lost seven of 10 heading into the break. With the trade deadline approaching, the Reds are among the clubs expected to sell off to contenders looking to fill needs for the stretch run. Left fielder Jay Bruce, shortstop Zack Cozart and second baseman Brandon Phillips are among the players who could be coveted.Some good news for Cincinnati is that right-hander Homer Bailey is on track to return at some point this month. Bailey hasnt pitched since April 2015 before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He made three rehab starts for Triple-A Louisville without issue and could make at least two more before being activated.Prices future as manager also will be a talking point in the second half and his status could be dependent on the club getting off to a good start beeginning with this weekends three-game series against Milwaukee.ddddddddddddThe Brewers are 4-3 against the Reds this season, including 2-2 at Great American Ball Park. The teams will play 12 more times this season.Milwaukee (38-49) made a roster move on Thursday, recalling right-handed reliever Corey Knebel from Triple-A Colorado Springs. He fills the spot vacated by right-hander Michael Blazek, who was optioned Sunday.Walks have been an issue for Garza, who had several rough outings before the All-Star break. He has walked eight in the past 16 innings and gave up seven runs in 4 1/3 innings in his last start at Washington.The Brewers must make another roster move on Saturday because, as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, right-hander Zach Davies is expected to start in Cincinnati.Milwaukee, which resides in fourth place in the National League Central, seven games ahead of the last-place Reds, also expects to be active at the trade deadline.First-year general manager David Stearns could make a statement at the deadline with catcher Jonathan Lucroy being among the bait. First things first, both the Reds and Brewers badly need a positive performance in the second half of the season beginning Friday night.I think every July there is a lot of speculation, and that will continue to be the case until we get back to being consistently competitive, Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun told MLB.com. Theres always more speculation than there ever ... most teams are either looking to acquire guys or to trade off some asset. Theres action one way or the other. ' ' '
