Home-ice advantage is real in sliding sports, and the U. Packers Official Jerseys .S. is hoping it rings true again this weekend.All three U.S. national sliding programs are hosting World Cups starting Friday. The bobsled and skeleton tour is back in Lake Placid, New York -- where temperatures well below zero are expected on Friday -- and luges international schedule continues in Park City, Utah, where Tucker West of the U.S. will aim for a third consecutive win.Its the first time both World Cup circuits have simultaneously been in the U.S. since December 2013.There really is a home-track advantage for us, said U.S. bobsled driver Steven Holcomb, who probably has more runs on the track at Mount Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid than anyone else. If you go to any 100-meter track in the world, its 100 meters. If you race a mile, its a mile, wherever you are. Bobsledding, its never the same from one track to another. Its a huge advantage.Thats a big part of why Wests first two career wins were at Lake Placid, the track he knows best. Winning on other tracks, thats a sign of becoming a true international contender.West prevailed in Lake Placid two weeks ago, then won in a one-run race last weekend at Whistler, British Columbia. Training and racing for the entire week was condensed to one day because a shipment of sleds was delayed nearly four days after a massive snowstorm snarled traffic.Park City is a track where U.S. teammate Chris Mazdzer won the mens singles race last season.Its kind of hard to put a finger on what the secret sauce is, West said. Obviously, Lake Placid is a track that I know and love. Ive taken many runs there, so Im comfortable there. Whistler, on the other hand, was just a crazy situation for us.West is eighth in the World Cup luge overall mens standings, significant because hes gotten points in just two of the four races. He was disqualified from the season-opening race in Igls, Austria, because he and his sled slightly exceeded weight limits. By getting DQed there, he was also ineligible to compete in the Sprint Cup race that same weekend.So even though his competitors have had as many as four chances to pick up points, West is still within striking distance of the World Cup lead.Tucker didnt come out of anywhere, Mazdzer said. Hes been consistent the last two years. Hes been really solid. To be honest, not much has changed in him. Hes consistent on race day. Hes got a great start. ... I would expect him to be consistent and thats what Im impressed with.USA Luge won five medals at the World Cup in Park City last season; USA Bobsled and Skeleton won three in Lake Placid last season, all of them gold.This is the first competition for bobsled and skeleton athletes since international officials pulled out this seasons world championships from Russia this week. Several sliders cited doping-related concerns as a reason they were considering a boycott.While thats certainly added some drama, Holcomb said the Americans know this is a critical weekend.Its always big for us to be in Lake Placid, Holcomb said. Packers Youth Jerseys .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place. Packers Womens Jerseys . A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. http://www.authenticpackersshopnfl.com/ . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. India opener Shikhar Dhawan had gone eight Test innings without a 50-plus score, before his 84 in the first innings of the Antigua Test. He had been susceptible in the channel outside off, often reaching for the ball with his hands, on earlier tours to England and Australia. At the training camp in Bangalore, ahead of the departure to the Caribbean, Dhawan had focused on his feet movement and judgement against away-going deliveries outside off, with batting coach Sanjay Bangar placing a fourth stump just outside off.The workout seemed to have reaped immediate reward, with Dhawan showing restraint outside off and laying the platform for Indias 302 for 4 on the first day. He was tested by fast bowler Shannon Gabriel - who had M Vijay nicking behind with a prancing delivery - in a fiery first spell, but Dhawan survived by adhering to attrition over attack.I think opening is the toughest work and you need a big heart for it, Dhawan said. New wicket, new ball and they bowl with full energy and as an opener your technique should also be good because you have to leave a lot of balls and you need patience as well. Middle order needs it [patience] too but new ball has its own challenge. Vijay got a good ball, it was a very quick ball. I was luckier in that sense so Gabriel was bowling really well and with time you get that experience.Now I know better from the past about which balls to leave and that is from experience and it helps improve the game and my shot selection and it showed in the partnership with Pujara and Kohli.Dhawan felt India were in a good position, especially after sacrificiing a batsman or an allrounder to beef up their bowling, and hinted at the teams strategy of batting only once of a slowing surface. Packers Stitched Jerseys. We are in a good position especially because we are playing with only five batsmen, Dhawan said. So we are in a good position and we will want to bat as long as possible tomorrow, that will also tire them out. Good thing is we have Virat set and batting.Dhawan lauded Virat Kohli, who scored his 12th Test century, with whom he shaped Indias progress with a third-wicket partnership of 105 in 27.1 overs.He has played a tremendous knock and scored a hundred and continued scoring, Dhawan said. Hopefully he scores big runs and gets a double-hundred after 150. It feels good to bat with him and we were rotating strike and scoring runs at a good pace. I feel that made a difference because we made the partnership in 120 balls or something. That is a good thing and it is always a pleasure to watch Virat, the way he times the ball.Dhawan also identified the importance of Cheteshwar Pujaras contribution in blunting a disciplined West Indies attack, although Pujara only contributed 16 off 67 balls, before lobbing a leading edge to point off legspinner Devendra Bishoo.My partnership with Pujara was also important because the ball was new at that time and it was important to leave the ball at that time, Dhawan said. The middle order got benefit of that because the ball was older and my partnership with Virat benefitted from that.
