• WINDSOR, Ont. -- Rising Canadian star Kaetlyn Osmond opened with a clean program Friday to sit in second place after the short program at Skate Canada International. The 16-year-old from Marystown, N.L., scored 60.56 points for her performance to Mambo No. 8. Her program included a triple toe loop-triple toe loop combination. Osmond has made strides over the last year in her bid to put Canadian womens figure skating back in the spotlight. Canada hasnt had a top world-class womens skater since 2010 Olympic bronze medallist Joannie Rochette, and Osmond would like to change that. She was the surprise winner of the short program at the Canadian championships last winter en route to winning bronze. She captured her first international title at the recent Nebelhorn Trophy in Germany. "It brought me into the senior groupings and brought my confidence up, and made training that much more enjoyable and much better," she said of her Canadian bronze. Elene Gedevanishvili of Georgia, who is coached by Canadas Brian Orser, scored 60.80 to sit in first place. Ksenia Makarova of Russia was third with 58.56 points while Amelie Lacoste of Delson, Que., was seventh with 53.81. Osmond looked perfectly at ease on the ice at WFCU Centre, and said she doesnt feel any added pressure now that shes in the spotlight. "I definitely love performing ... when I heard everyone cheering it just took all the nerves away," she said. "When Im skating, trying to put on a show for everyone else just makes me that much more confident in what Im doing and that much more enjoyable." Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford were also in second spot after the pairs short program. Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Toronto, scored 64.49 for their skate to "La Boheme." Four-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany -- dressed in multi-coloured bodysuits and skating to "Kismet" by Bond -- scored 72.26. Italians Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek were third with 59.79.

A few days after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Love vowed to come back stronger than ever from a massively disappointing season for him and the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Augusta National Golf Club released an official statement Saturday morning on its ruling to assess Tiger Woods a two-shot penalty. The statement reads: "Yesterday afternoon, the Rules Committee was made aware of a possible Rules violation that involved a drop by Tiger Woods on the 15th hole. In preparation for his fifth shot, the player dropped his ball in close proximity to where he had played his third shot in apparent conformance with Rule 26. After being prompted by a television viewer, the Rules Committee reviewed a video of the shot while he was playing the 18th hole. At that moment and based on that evidence, the Committee determined he had complied with the Rules. After he signed his scorecard, and in a televisiion interview subsequent to the round, the player stated that he played further from the point where he had played his third shot.dddddddddddd Such action would constitute playing from the wrong place. The subsequent information provided by the players interview after he had completed play warranted further review and discussion with him this morning. After meeting with the player, it was determined that he had violated Rule 26, and he was assessed a two stroke penalty. The penalty of disqualification was waived by the Committee under Rule 33 as the Committee had previously reviewed the information and made its initial determination prior to the finish of the players round.
