Vonn exclaimed when she spotted him.Vonn tied the record of 62 victories when she won a downhill here Sunday, and celebrated with family members who rarely attend her races, including her once-estranged father.I didnt think this could get any better than yesterday with my entire family here but now with Tiger here this is unbelievable, said Vonn. I said, I cant believe you came. And he said, I told you.I had no idea he was here, Vonn added. He told everyone to keep it a secret and Im surprised. Normally no one can keep a secret in my family. ... He just showed up. ... He has a tournament soon. So hes got a lot of work and Im surprised that he was able to come all the way over here for a few hours to watch me ski.Woods did not speak with reporters and did not take part in the victory celebration, when Vonn was joined on the podium by teammates, coaches and family members.In an apparent gesture to leave the stage to Vonn, Woods watched by himself from a small white tent protected by police, then was quickly ushered away on a waiting snowmobile.Vonn and company went on celebrating, wearing T-shirts that said 63 victories and Make History LV63.It was a big relief for Vonn after facing intense media pressure to match Moser-Proell in recent weeks.I know its a big achievement, Vonn said. But I have to focus on the skiing. I cant let everyone elses expectations get into my head. So that was my goal this weekend, just trying to ski my best. And I thought I did a really good job.Moser-Proell, an Austrian great, established her record between 1970 and 1980.Moser-Proell was skiing in the 70s and all the young people in Austria dont know what that record means, Fenninger said.

Sometimes I was a little bit out of control but I maintained the speed, especially on the bottom of the course. Im so happy to have finished the weekend with win No. 63. My family and Tiger is here. Its a really, really special day.It was Vonns first win in super-G this season and her fourth overall this campaign, showing a return to top form after two knee injuries kept her out of last years Sochi Olympics.Perhaps more importantly, the win showed Vonn is dominating again just weeks before her home world championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado.Vonn was on track to shatter Moser-Proells record two years ago before a high-speed crash at the 2013 world championships in Schladming, Austria, when she tore two ligaments in her right knee. She attempted to return for Sochi but re-injured her knee in Val dIsere, France, in December, 2013, requiring a second surgery.The 30-year-old Vonn is planning to compete through the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.It was Vonns ninth career win in Cortina, where she had her first career podium result in 2004, putting her within one of Austrian Renate Goetschls record 10 wins in the resort known as the Queen of the Dolomites.This race was originally scheduled for Sunday but was postponed due to heavy snowfall over the weekend, which pushed the program back.Downhill world champion Marion Rolland injured both knees in a crash, the French ski federation said, adding that she was undergoing medical exams.Vonn was heading to Salzburg, Austria, to appear on a TV show and more celebrations.

This week they discuss the Philadelphia 76ers, Gregg Popovich, Royal and Ancient Golf Club and Bill Belichick.It appears former Colorado Avalanche tough guy Scott Parker felt bullied by coaches early in his NHL career, including then head coach Bob Hartley. According to the Denver Post, Parker says he was pressured into fighting at the risk of losing his position on the team if he failed to do so. "He was a junior B goalie trying to tell me how to fight. He was always just degrading me. Not to be a (wimp), but he was a bully," Parker told the Denver Post. "And he could be because he was in a position of authority. What was I supposed to do as a rookie? Go tell him (expletive) you? I did that stuff at the end of my career, but at the beginning of my career, I was just a chess piece to him." Parker, who thinks he may have suffered over 20 concussions during his playing days, also alleges he was forced to play when he was injured. "He would call me a (expletive), say that Hershey (the Avs former minor-league affiliate) would be my next sttop, where Id be smelling chocolate fumes all day long. [url=http://www.efsfl.com/]Retro Jordans 11 For Sale[/url]. . I remember I thought I had a broken foot and told him about it, and he called me a (expletive) and said Hershey would love me," Parker told the Post. "Nobody needed to question my commitment to doing my job. But I was just constantly belittled by Bob Hartley. I really have no respect for the man. "If youre hurt, it doesnt matter. Youre made to think I have to fight, or Ill lose my job, " Parker added. Parker was drafted 63rd overall by the New Jersey Devils in 1996 but did not sign with the team. He was then drafted 20th overall by the Avalanche two years later. He played 237 games in two stints with the Avalanche as well as 71 games with the San Jose Sharks. He scored seven goals and added 14 assists for 21 points over that span. He also amassed 699 penalty minutes. Hartley, who is now head coach of the Calgary Flames, declined to comment on Parkers remarks.
