VAL DISERE, France -- Lara Gut was in a philosophical mood after ending her slump in form with a convincing win in a World Cup super-G race on Sunday.I believe in energy ... How can you describe, if someone doesnt believe you, that you dont feel the skis? Gut said. Sometimes you dont feel it. Sometimes youre fighting against yourself, against things you dont realize.The defending World Cup overall champion had failed to finish Fridays Alpine combined race and Saturdays downhill, dropping valuable points in her ongoing contest with current World Cup leader Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States.But the Swiss bounced back for her third victory of the season and 21st career win, closing the gap on Shiffrin to five points heading into their showdown in a giant slalom on Tuesday, in the nearby Alpine resort of Courchevel.For Gut, it was also about connecting instinctively again with the Val dIsere slope after the disappointment of the past two days. She considers the French Alpine resort one of her favorite places on the World Cup circuit, and has four wins among her six podiums here.I was trying to find a way to communicate again with Val dIsere. I just felt that we were misunderstanding each other, she said. Usually I come here and everything is so great. But the last days I was skiing well but I didnt have the feeling. Im a racer who really needs to have a good feeling. If I dont have that feeling, I cant push.That feeling was back Sunday.At the start gate, I wasnt thinking what I could do better technically, she said. I just went out and said `Thats me, thats what I have and thats what I can show today. I was communicating with Val dIsere and it felt awesome.Gut powered down the Oreiller-Killy course to beat Liechtenstein skier Tina Weirather by .13 seconds and Italian Elena Curtoni by more than one second.From the first gate on it worked the way I wanted, Gut said. It felt awesome, it felt fast, thats the way I am.Gut said she was more focused after having in-depth discussions with her team.I opened my heart to my team and tried to describe what I was feeling. They know me better than I know myself, she said. They showed me that nothing was wrong and this morning I was myself again on the slope.Her other wins this season were in super-G in Lake Louise -- where Weirather also finished second -- and giant slalom in Soelden.Gut now has 38 career podiums, while Curtoni was celebrating just her second.Im very happy, Curtoni said. I was injured in the middle of August so I lost two months of preparation.Weirather was .47 seconds up on Gut but then faded.I always lose a lot of time at the bottom in Val dIsere, I dont know why, said Weirather, who is not fully content with her form. Its really good this season in super-G and GS but my downhill isnt where I want it to be. I dont know what to do, really.Italian Nadia Fanchini was fourth, just like in Saturdays downhill, and Frenchwoman Tessa Worley placed fifth for a career best in super-G.It was another good day for Italian racers after placing four in the top six in downhill.It could have even better as Sofia Goggia missed out on a seventh podium of the season. She was leading Gut, but then went out.Ilka Stuhec of Slovenia finished a disappointing seventh.Stuhec won the Alpine combined and the downhill here to take her seasons tally to four wins, but this time finished 1.75 seconds adrift of Gut.Many observers had predicted a straight contest between Gut and Shiffrin -- who skipped Val dIsere -- for the overall.But Stuhec is only 12 points behind Gut in third place, while Goggia is 26 behind Gut in fourth.It makes a good story if you (only) have two contenders. But anything can happen, Gut said. Its great to have Sofia and Ilka showing what they can do. Nike Flyknit Clearance Sale .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.

LAS VEGAS -- A plan to build an NFL stadium in Las Vegas and lure the Raiders from Oakland crossed a major hurdle Thursday when a Nevada oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend $750 million in public funding for the project.The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee recommended raising the hotel tax in the Las Vegas area to help pay for a 65,000-seat domed venue that was promoted and would be partially financed by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. Proponents still need to win over the governor, the Legislature and three-quarters of NFL owners to make the project a reality, but its a significant milestone for a city thats never had a professional football team and has been hammering out the particulars of the Raiders deal for months.We get an NFL team, and that is a significant step forward for Las Vegas and the community, committee chairman Steve Hill said about the projects potential. Those teams bring the community together. Were going to have people wearing Raiders jerseys and high-fiving each other ... Thats not something you can put a number on.The Adelson family plans to put $650 million toward the stadium, which would also be home to UNLV Football, while the Raiders plan to kick in $500 million. Officials with the Las Vegas Sands, Adelsons company, said they dont want to return any profits to the public because theyd be making little or no money on the stadium. Theyre also committing to fund construction cost overruns and infrastructure improvements at the yet-undetermined site.Sands representative Andy Abboud said the Adelsons were in China to open a $2.9 billion Parisian Macao casino and probably asleep when the vote came, but he texted them the news and said theyll be excited.I never dreamed of or hoped for a unanimous vote, Abboud said. But a unanimous vote, I think, sends a very strong signal to the Legislature.Opponents question whether its appropriate to put public dollars toward a project spearheaded by one of the richest men in the world. Theyre also wary of the bonds used to finance the project, which could put taxpayers on the hook to cover stadium debt in a downturn.ddddddddddddHill said the deals structure would shield taxpayers even in a recession as deep as the most recent one, when hotel tax revenues fell 33 percent. He also addressed arguments that tax hikes should prioritize Nevadas bottom-ranking public school system.Im not going to argue that a room tax couldnt be used for other things, Hill said, noting that the increase will mostly affect tourists, not locals. I will say this is an entirely, very appropriate use for room tax.Stadium proponents drove a hard bargain with the committee, which included casino leaders and elected officials. The Las Vegas Sands said theyd walk away from negotiations if the public put in less than $750 million, and the company fought to protect themselves from any future taxes targeting the team.Public pressure mounted, too. Union members wearing Raiders gear held tailgate parties outside the committees meetings, and cheerleaders in silver and black flanked the entrances to the meeting on Thursday. Electronic billboards along the interstate urged people to hold politicians accountable on the stadium deal and recommended the hashtag Dont Screw This Up NV.It was unclear when Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval might call lawmakers into special session to consider the deal, although proponents want it as soon as possible so they can pitch the deal to NFL owners ahead of their January meeting and potential team relocation vote.I will not move forward until all questions have been resolved, he said. I am hopeful the work completed by this committee will serve as a roadmap to Southern Nevadas unrivaled and continued success.Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, meanwhile, said her city is neither rolling over, nor giving up and continues work on a deal with the team.Now is the time for everyone in our region to pull together to show the NFL and the Raiders that their future is in Oakland, she said.
