Sweden completed a sweep of the Olympic cross-country relays in Sochi, winning gold in the mens event on Sunday to go along with the title won in the womens event on Saturday. The team of Lars Nelson, Daniel Richardsson, Johan Olsson, and anchor Marcus Hellner cruised to victory in the 4x10 km event, winning in a time of one hour, 28 minutes, and 42.0 seconds. Hellner was given a 14-second lead to work with, and stretched it to 27 seconds before crossing the finish line, waving a Swedish flag he grabbed from the crowd. Spurred by the home crowd and an appearance by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia fought off a surprising France team for the silver, crossing the line in 1:29:09.3. France, not even expected to contend in this event, won bronze in 1:29:13.9. The Canadian team of Len Valjas, Jesse Cockney, Graeme Killick and Ivan Babikov finished 12th in 1:33:19.0. Canadas Devon Kershaw and Alex Harvey were left off the relay team, possibly being rested for the team sprint on Wednesday. Coming off a disappointing result in the womens relay, with the heavy favourites finishing fifth, Norway again failed to hit the podium, placing fourth with a time of 1:29:51.7, well off the top-three finishers.

Cheap Nike Zoom Shoes . Hes just beginning to get similar results. The right-hander struggled after winning the honour in 2008 and 2009, but a retooling of his game has begun to pay off and has the San Francisco Giants thinking about the Lincecum of old.PHILADELPHIA - Jason Kelce, Connor Barwin and Darren Sproles are going to their first Pro Bowl one month after their season ends sooner than expected.The trio of Philadelphia Eagles along with teammates Jason Peters and LeSean McCoy were hoping to skip this years NFL all-star game to play in the Super Bowl. That was a possibility until three straight losses knocked Philadelphia (9-6) out of the playoff race.So, most of the Eagles are heading home after Sundays season finale at the New York Giants. The five Pro Bowl players get one more game.I think that its obviously a tremendous honour to be voted into the Pro Bowl, said Kelce, a centre who missed four games because of surgery for a sports hernia. It doesnt change the fact that the seasons very frustrating, and for me personally I dont put too much of a huge deal onto this. I think these individual accolades really, in the grand scheme of things, dont mean too much.Barwin heads into the final game leading the NFC with 14 1/2 sacks. Hes the first Eagles linebacker to earn a Pro Bowl berth since Jeremiah Trotter in 2005 and is the only player on the defence going. Defensive end Fletcher Cox had an outstanding year, but didnt get enough recognition because he doesnt accumulate sacks.The honour for Barwin doesnt lessen the sting of missing the playoffs.This obviously isnt the goal for us, he said. Hopefully next year we can be an even better defence aand a couple of more guys can be recognized in the Pro Bowl.ddddddddddddSproles waited 10 years to earn his first trip to the Pro Bowl. The versatile running back earned a spot as returner by leading the league in punt return average (13.7) and scoring two touchdowns on punt returns.This is the first time Ive ever been on a team where special teams made such a huge impact, Sproles said about being a part of a unit that combined for six TDs this season. I feel like this team has players who take pride in it. And talent too. I think its those two things that have made us so good.The Pro Bowl will be played on Jan. 25 in Glendale, Arizona, site of the Super Bowl. Players from the teams that win conference championships dont play in the game.It doesnt mean as much as going to the Super Bowl, but it is an honour though, Sproles said.For McCoy, the honour means something because he was criticized this season when he struggled through an early slump. Some even wondered if the two-time All-Pro had lost a step just one year after setting a franchise record for yards rushing and leading the NFL.Its so hard to get in, especially after this hard season, its ups and downs, McCoy said. Im happy for my linemen to help me get in and its truly an honour.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.organd AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi ' ' '
