Mick Fanning has capped an extraordinary return to the scene of last years shark attack, winning the World Surfing League event at Jeffreys Bay, South Africa.Fanning fought off what was believed to be a great white shark in the disbanded contest final of 2015, eventually fleeing the water uninjured with fellow Australian Julian Wilson.On Saturday Fanning beat Hawaiian John John Florence in the final after taking out good friend Wilson in the semi-final.In variable small swell, which saw the contest drag into its 11th day, Fanning beat Florence 17.70 points to 17.13.Florence had beaten another Australian, Josh Kerr in the other semi-final.An almost zen-like calm enveloped Fanning after the decider, the 35 year-old speaking in relaxed tones of his relationship with Wilson.Hes just one of those guys that always has your back, Fanning said of Wilson, who came to his aid when the shark began to circle the three-time world champion.As for the enormity of winning in such emotional circumstances, Fanning said hed made an early call to come back to J-Bay and was always going to stick by it.That was always the intention to come back - to right the wrongs of last year, he said.Now we have, we can move on.It just feels a lot lighter not going for the world title and not having that pressure on.Fanning, on a reduced schedule this year after a difficult 12 months that included the shark attack, death of his brother and break-up of his marriage - overcame even more complications on the eve of the round six event after hurting his ankle while free-surfing.He was even seen wearing a moon boot after the mishap though showed few signs of injury in a fluid three rounds on Saturday in which he beat Brazils Filipe Toledo, Wilson and then Florence to snatch his first win of the season.In what he labelled his personal year Fanning has thus far surfed in four of the six events, until Saturday securing a best finish of third at Bells Beach, Victoria.Despite the win, Fanning confirmed he would only surf one more event this season.Ive already said Ill go to Trestles (California) and that will be my last event of the year, he said.World titles arent the biggest thing for me any more.Fanning, who went from 16th to fifth in the world rankings with the victory, was watched from the shore by his mother, Elizabeth Osborne.Australian Matt Wilkinson still leads the mens standings after six events.Nike Air Max Ingrosso . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Nike Air Max Scontate . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. http://www.italiaairmaxscontate.it/ .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans.

Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Scarpe Air Max Scontate . Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.CLEVELAND -- Terry Franconas message to Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin: You can get all the rest you need over the winter.The Cleveland Indians manager announced Wednesday he plans to use his top three starters on three days for the duration of World Series.Kluber, who dominated the Chicago Cubs in a 6-0 victory in Game 1, will start Game 4 on Saturday in Wrigley Field. Barring any setback, Bauer and Tomlin will go in Games 5 and 6, if necessary, with Kluber potentially available for Game 7.We tried to look at our team and how we best set up, and whats in our best interest to win four games before the Cubs do, and thats how we came to this conclusion, Francona said.Francona admitted that was the plan all along when he pulled Kluber in the top of the seventh on Tuesday night after watching his ace baffle the Cubs over the course of 88 pitches.Hes all set to pitch (Game 4), Francona said. That was probably Plan A.One Kluber set in motion perfectly by keeping Chicago in check before giving way to reliever Andrew Miller after allowing a leadoff double in the seventh with the Indians up 3-0. Kluber was hardly in trouble, but Francona wanted to preserve Kluber for later down the line.You start getting deeper into the game, and if they mount a rally, getting out of that, youre really exerting, Francona said. Youre up around 100 (pitches) or so, I think thats unfair to ask him to come back after doing that.Klubers already come back on three days rest once during the playoffs. He shut downn Toronto in Game 1 of the ALCS while throwing 100 pitches over 6 1/3 innings and returned to the mound for Game 4, allowing two runs in five innings of what is still Clevelands only loss of the postseason.ddddddddddddThe lack of other options -- likely Danny Salazar (who hasnt pitched since Sept. 9) or rookie lefty Ryan Merritt -- combined with Klubers dominance and a seemingly elastic bullpen that includes the overpowering Miller hastened Franconas decision.I think the idea that (Kluber) has already done it, I think hell be a lot more at ease with it, Francona said.Kluber went over 200 innings in the regular season for the third straight year in 2016 but did get a bit of a break in September when the Indians skipped one of his starts so he could deal with a minor quadriceps issue. The way Francona figures it, Kluber will have all winter to relax.The same goes for Bauer and Tomlin, provided Bauers sliced right pinkie holds up after cutting it while repairing a drone before his scheduled start in Game 2 of the ALCS. The Indians pushed his start back a day, but Bauer only made it 21 pitches before the blood from the wound forced him out of the game.Trevors a guy that can pitch all the time, Francona said. Tomlin, we were a little concerned. Hes been pitching great but he doesnt have the biggest frame in the world. But he hasnt pitched that much, so I think were OK. ' ' '
