OSTERSUND, Sweden - Martin Fourcade overcame four penalties and windy conditions to win the mens 12.5-kilometre pursuit on Sunday for his second victory in two days at the biathlon World Cup.The Frenchman finished in 33 minutes, 54.9 seconds. Russias Anton Shipulin, with one penalty, was 10 seconds behind. Norways Emil Hegle Svendsen was third with two penalties, trailing Fourcade by 26.3 seconds.Calgarys Nathan Smith was 16th in 35:25.8.Fourcade, a double Olympic champion in Sochi, finished 81st in the mens 20K individual race earlier this week. He regained his form on Saturday by winning the 10K sprint with clean shooting and leading from start to finish.The most important thing I am taking away from here is confidence, Fourcade said after Sundays race.Smith was on pace with the leaders until his final stop at the range, where he missed three shots,.Gliding onto the mat for that standing I had in my mind that a clean would probably guarantee a medal, Smith said. Unfortunately I missed my first three shots. I was feeling quite a bit of fatigue going in and I swear it was a little windier than normal for those 25 seconds.In the womens event, Finlands Kaisa Makarainen clinched the 10K pursuit in 35:01.7 with three penalties.Ukraines Valj Semerenko was 47.9 seconds behind, beating Dorothea Wierer of Italy in a fight for second by just 0.4. Both women had four penalties.Rosanna Crawford of Canmore, Alta., was 14th in 36:50.0.My legs were tired from four races this week. It always takes a bit to get used to racing this much, said Crawford, who sits 12th overall in the World Cup standings. Overall Im happy with how the week went. I know there is so much potential this year so Im really looking forward to the rest of the season.Crawford missed one shot in each of her four rounds of shooting, which dropped her four spots in the standings.Missing one target isnt that bad, but when you miss one every time it can be pretty frustrating, she said. In 20-shot races you need to shoot 85 per cent if you are starting behind.— With files from The Canadian Press. John Hayden Jersey . Louis Cardinals a hard-fought victory.

After a 99-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, his Celtics coaches and teammates have only positive things to say about the Toronto-born rookie. Jonathan Toews Jersey . The actual winners on transfer deadline day are those clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City who were well prepared and managed to get their main incoming business done well ahead of the transfer window closing. Tottenham were able to add seven players by spending over 100 million pounds and also ensured maximum return for the Gareth Bale transfer to Real Madrid by managing the move superbly. Denis Savard Jersey . -- Canadian ski cross star Marielle Thompson accomplished two goals in one race Saturday.PHOENIX - Nate Carroll almost passed on the chance to own a Super Bowl ring.Following the 2012 season when Gus Bradley was hired as the head coach in Jacksonville, Carroll was offered a job on the Jaguars staff. Doing so would have meant leaving Seattle, where Carroll was serving as a defensive assistant, and leaving his dad, Pete Carroll.I went down there and interviewed and I honestly thought about taking it just to show I could get a job outside of my father, Nate Carroll said. That was a big selling point for me.Nate Carroll ultimately stayed in Seattle when his dad offered him a position as an assistant wide receivers coach. It was a chance for the younger Carroll to learn the offensive side after starting his career with the Seahawks working under Bradley when he was Seattles defensive co-ordinator.I couldnt turn that down because the opportunity to learn offence after youve learned defence is rare, he said. In the football business most guys stay on one side and thats what they get and football is two different sides of a coin. Its night and day. Ive been very lucky.Both the coaching staffs in Sundays Super Bowl have family connections. Pete Carrolls son is in his fourth season working for the Seahawks, while Bill Belichicks son, Steve, is in his third season as an assistant for the Patriots. Steve Belichick was a lacrosse player at Rutgers before walking on the football team as a long snapper.Obviously, the passions in the family and they love what they do and Steven works his butt off, New England special teams coach Scott OBrien said. Theres a lot of times he doesnt even go home. He just stays there. If you enjoy what youre doing why dont you stay there?Generations of sons have followed theirr fathers into the coaching ranks.dddddddddddd The names Ryan, Shula, Schottenheimer, Shanahan, Mora, Kiffin, Nolan and numerous others have seen multiple generations coach in some capacity in the NFL.Its truly a treasure for me. To have the chance to have Nate to be on this staff and watch him develop over the years hes been with us and grow as a coach, Pete Carroll said. To compete with your son, really at this level, to battle and to work day and night to try to figure out ways to try to win football games and youre doing it with those that you love, it just makes it a cherished time for us.Nate Carroll turned down a chance to play college football at San Diego — where he was recruited by Jim Harbaugh — to attend Southern Cal and later was hired by his dad in Seattle. While Nate Carrolls primary job is working with Seattles wide receivers, hes also the one who at times has to be blunt and honest with his dad when others might shy away from speaking that way with the head coach. Its a learned skill, moulded from saying the wrong thing at times when he was younger.Ive learned what he needs to hear, too, at times. He is ultra-positive and he will spin everything in a positive light because its better, he thinks and hes right, I think, Nate Carroll said. But at the same time I think its part of my role to give him the perspective of an outsider. What does everybody else see that is going on? I keep my ear to the pavement and try to listen to the media stuff, just a little bit here and there so I know how everyone else views it so he is informed about that stuff, too.___AP Sports Writer Howard Ulman contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
