OLY--MILAN CORTINA-HOCKEY ARENA

No backup plan for Olympic ice hockey arena as construction goes down to the wire

SUMMARY: There is no backup plan if the main ice hockey arena for the Milan Cortina Winter Games is not ready on time. Construction is behind schedule and going right down to the wire. A test event at the Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena had to be moved, and new ones won’t be until January 9-11. Andrea Francisi the Chief Games Operations Officer for Milan Cortina told The Associated Press on Saturday there is no plan B. However, he is confident “for the moment” the venue will be ready in time. The first Olympics game at the main hockey arena is the women’s preliminary round competition on February 5, one day before the opening ceremony.

FBN--LIONS-RAGNOW

Lions lose 4-time Pro Bowl C Frank Ragnow for year with hamstring strain after he ended retirement

SUMMARY: Frank Ragnow’s season is over before it started. The team announced Saturday that the four-time Pro Bowl center failed a physical because of a hamstring strain, days after coming out of retirement. The Lions say Ragnow reported to the team’s training facility on Friday and an exam showed he has an injury that will prevent him from playing this season. The 29-year-old Ragnow was reinstated off the retirement list on Wednesday in a move welcomed by the Lions, who have missed him on the offensive line this year. The Lions host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

SOC--BOURNEMOUTH-ADAMS

U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams scores long-range goal for Bournemouth in Premier League

SUMMARY: U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams scored one of the best goals in the Premier League this season when he lobbed the goalkeeper from nearly 50 yards (meters) for Bournemouth. In the 15th minute of a match at Sunderland, Adams collected a loose ball inside his own half, crossed the halfway line and then sent in a shot from the edge of the center circle. It flew over the head of goalkeeper Robin Roefs, who was scrambling backward, and into the net. It was Adams’ second goal in his last four games, with the midfielder having also netted at Manchester City on Nov. 2.
