Lindsey Vonn was vintage Vonn in a World Cup downhill at Lake Louise in Alberta on Saturday, earning her first win in nearly two years.She screamed Yes! after crossing the finish line, knowing she was back for the first time since her right knee was surgically repaired.Moreover, she led an American podium sweep, the first time thats ever happened.It really couldnt be a better day, Vonn said.Confident in the stability of her right knee again, the four-time overall champion aggressively charged the course and earned her 15th career win at Lake Louise.Vonns teammates were right behind her, with Stacey Cook taking second and Julia Mancuso winding up third.Im so excited for Lindsey. A cool day, Cook said. It really helps having Lindsey back, and her competitiveness and enthusiasm for the sport. It pushes us. Thats when we thrive is when we push each other.The day before, in Vonns first World Cup race in nearly a year, she wasnt her usual aggressive self. She held back just a bit.Not so on Saturday. Vonn took chances, like she usually does, especially here, on a course thats been dubbed Lake Lindsey due to all of her success.Its just finding my rhythm and finding my confidence, she said. Im finally back to where I feel confident and Im pushing the limits. I want more speed. I havent had that yet until today.That Cook and Mancuso shared the podium with her made the afternoon all the more memorable. They are all about the same age and have been with each other through the wins and the wipeouts.We have a good energy (on the team), Vonn said. We all have a great dynamic. Everyones excited for this season.It was Vonns first victory since Jan. 26, 2013, in Maribor, Slovenia. Less than two months later, she injured her knee in a wipeout at the world championships.She tried to get back in time for the Sochi Games, but partially tore one of the reconstructed ligaments in a training crash in Copper Mountain, Colorado, three months before the Olympics.Again, she attempted to get through it, only to sprain her MCL racing a downhill in France last December. A month later, she had a second surgery.This time, she took things easier with her recovery. No need to be aggressive.My knee feels really good. I dont think about my knee at all, said Vonn, who captured downhill gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games. I dont ski differently because of it. Im back to doing what I used to do.Vonn analyzed her downhill performance from Friday and noticed she was off her line and not pushing as hard. So she made the adjustments.I tried to stay deeper in my tuck, tried to be more aggressive in some turns, she said. I think it paid off.Vonn pulled within two of matching the World Cup record of 62 race victories held by the great Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria.Its always something I kind of think about, Vonn said. Its more to motivate me in the summer. Right now, Im just focusing on trying to ski well.Im not expecting this kind of result all the time just yet. But it definitely gives me a lot of confidence.Next up is a super-G on Sunday. Allen Robinson Bears Jersey . He liked what he saw on Tuesday night.

Especially being my first NBA game, back in Canada. Its definitely cool.The sharp-shooter a€” famous for his YouTube videos of shooting threes on his backyard basketball court at his Mississauga, Ont., home a€” had 12 points in 25:56 of court time.Stauskas entered the game late in the first quarter, and drained his first shot a€” a three-pointer.The six-foot-six shooting guard is part of a Canadian basketball bumper crop, and one of three Canadians taken in the first round of last summers NBA draft. Cleveland took Andrew Wiggins at No. 1, while Tyler Ennis went 18th to the Phoenix Suns.Stauskas, whose dad Paul, mom Ruta, and brother Peter were at Rogers Arena for the game, said his first NBA training camp has been great. Its pretty tiring, weve been competing a lot and getting after it, Stauskas said prior to tipoff. I feel like everyone is starting to get more confident, starting to gel a little bit more, so today should be a good test for us going up against some new faces and really see how far weve come.He figured thered be some nerves in his first NBA game, which was played in front of a sold-out crowd.Maybe a little bit, the butterflies and stuff like that, but I feel like Im starting to get comfortable with this group of guys, and with all the summer league games we had and training camp, I feel pretty settled in, Stauskas said.Im sure when I get out there, therell be a little bit of nerves, but once we get in the flow of the game, Ill probably settle down.Much has been made in camp about the competition for minutes between Stauskas and fellow shooting guard Ben McLemore, who was drafted by the Kings seventh overall a year earlier.I get it, because its everyones job to kind of stir the pot a little bit, Stauskas said. This is professional basketball, so everyones competing for minutes, everyones competing for a job, so we dont hold anything against each other. I feell like were great friends, on and off the court.dddddddddddd But when were at practice, we go at each other, its all about competition.Kings coach Michael Malone said Stauskas was drafted to help fill a void in the teams offence a€” but he brings more than just his long-range shooting ability.We were 27th in the NBA in three-point percentage. Nik has great range on his shot. Hes got good size, Malone said. Hes a better athlete than advertised. The thing I like more about him than anything is just his IQ. I like how smart he is. He has a good feel for the game. He can make a play for himself. He can make a play for his teammate.Malone said there was criticism after the Kings drafted shooting guards two years in a row, but he said McLemore and Stauskas fit well together.We played them together quite often in Vegas in summer league. And we won that championship, he said. We really like to talk about positionless basketball. We dont need to have a true two guard on the floor, a true small forward on the floor. You put your five best players on the floor and let them make basketball plays, make them read off of each other and play off of each other, and good things will happen. . . But its also fun watching them compete and go after each other.a€?I love competition. I think its healthy. The cream will always rise to the top. I really feel that Nik is going to help Ben become a better player, and Ben is going to help Nik become a better player.Stauskas didnt play for Canadas mens team this past summer so he could focus on his NBA duties.I was busy with summer league and stuff like that, Stauskas said. I thought it would be better to rest and prepare for Kings basketball, I told them after my rookie year Id feel a little bit better and would join them in qualifying for the Olympics.The Kings also have Torontos Sim Bhullar in camp a€” a seven-foot-five centre who became the first player of Indian descent to sign an NBA contract when he inked a training camp deal with Sacramento.The Kings and Raptors play each other again Tuesday in Sacramento, then the Kings head to China to continue their pre-season.I hope so, Stauskas said, on the chances of doing some sightseeing. We only have two games and were there for quite a while, so hopefully Ill have some time to see the Great Wall of China or some other cool parts of their culture.
