Sports Roundup - 12/14/2009

CYCLING:

We are jumping out of our seats! It's just been announced that IVAN BASSO will ride the Tour de France this year! It's been 4 years since the Italian was a contender in the big race. We can't wait!

Yaroslav Popovych has been chosen as one of the riders on Lance Armstrong's new team, Radioshack. Great news for young Popovych!


OLYMPICS:

Shaun "The Tomato" White won the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix in Colorado on Saturday. This is a critical first step towards defending his Olympic Gold in Vancouver.

Marcel Hirscher of Austria won the Alpine Skiing World Cup Sunday with a giant slalom victory high in the French Alps. Former Olympic Champ Bode Miller skipped the event because he sprained his ankle earlier in the week playing volleyball. What an idiot.


RUGBY CUP 2011:

Calling all Wellington Lovers - the venue is New Zealand!
So grab your All Blacks Jacket and get your tickets here: http://tickets.rugbyworldcup.com/info/ticketPrices.aspx


AMERICA'S CUP:

The 33rd America's Cup Match is in Valencia, Spain on February 8, 2010 between the Société Nautique Genève of Switzerland and the Golden Gate Yacht Club of the United States of America. These things always get nasty and weird so stay tuned.


NFL:

13-0! Kudos's to the New Orleans Saints - the Aint's no more - and the Indianapolis Colts. This is well on its way to being a historical season and potential Superbowl match up.
