FLACHAU, Austria - Frida Hansdotter of Sweden dominated a
World Cup night slalom on Tuesday, strengthening her
position at the top of the discipline standings going
into the world championships next month.Loudly cheered by
14,800 spectators, Hansdotter built on her first-run lead
to finish in a combined time of 1 minute, 49.59
seconds.Tina Maze of Slovenia was 0.61 behind in second,
and Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United
States improved from a disappointing opening run to
finish third, 0.63 behind.I dont feel like a favourite
but for sure its fun if I would be a favourite,
Hansdotter said about the Feb. 14 world championship race
in Beaver Creek, Colorado — where Shiffrin will be
defending her title.I just need to ski my skiing and ski
good and then the results are coming, she said. You cant
be focusing on where you should end up. You just need to
focus on what you should do with your skis.Hansdotter led
Maze by 0.23 after the opening run but used a flawless
final run for a convincing win.It was the Swedes 14th
career World Cup podium but only second victory. She also
won in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, last season.Hansdotter
now has 420 points in the slalom standings, with two-time
champion Shiffrin in second place on 379 points.Good
training, hard training, and know what you need to do,
Hansdotter said about her consistency this season. In
training, I always try to be on the limit, but not over
the limit. That is the hard part, to really be on your
top but dont ski more than you can.Erin Mielzynski of
Collingwood, Ont., was 12th.Maze went further ahead in
the overall standings with 857 points, well ahead of
Shiffrin on 605 points. However, Maze has two weekends of
speed racing coming up in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy, and
St. Moritz, Switzerland, while Shiffrin wont race on the
World Cup until after the world championships.I was
really easy today, said the Slovenian, who looks set for
a repeat of her 2013 overall triumph. I was training good
the last days and I was pretty confident about my slalom
here.Maze benefited from the cancellation of a downhill
and a super-G in Austria last weekend.We were training
slalom in Bad Kleinkirchheim so you get more slalom turns
in your legs and in your head, Maze said. The schedule is
crazy doing all the events. It takes a lot of energy and
adaption to each discipline.Shiffrin, who had won the
event for the past two years, avoided mistakes in her
first run but was still 0.68 behind Hansdotter in
eighth.The American looked more aggressive in her second
run and posted the second-fastest time after Veronika
Velez-Zuzulova of Slovakia.I felt like the surface was
better the second run, Shiffrin said. I was able to get
an edge in the snow and I found some response and I was
able to arch cleaner turns.Despite posting the fastest
time up to then, Shiffrin shrugged after crossing the
finish line.I didnt think my second run was good enough
or fast enough to win today because Tina and Frida are so
strong.After winning in Kuehtai, Austria, and Zagreb,
Croatia, recently, Shiffrin missed out on yet another
record — as no Americam skier has won three World Cup
slaloms in a row.Eight of the 30 skiers who qualified for
the second run failed to finish on the demanding
course.The annual night slalom is the race with the
highest prize money on the womens circuit, with the
winner taking home nearly 53,000 euros ($62,300).So now I
dont need to ski anymore? Hansdotter joked about her
paycheque. Thats not the things I am thinking about when
I am racing. But for sure its good for the future.

.SECAUCUS, N.J. -- Mark DeRosa joined MLB Network as a
studio analyst Wednesday, one day after retiring as a
major league player. DeRosas decision to retire was
announced by the Blue Jays in a statement Tuesday, less
than two weeks after Toronto exercised his $750,000 club
option for next season. "While I still had the
opportunity to return as a player, it became clear to me
that the chance to begin a career at MLB Network was too
good to pass up, and I am very excited to get started,"
DeRosa said in a statement from MLB Network. DeRosa was a
guest analyst on MLB Network during the post-season in
2011 and this year.dddddddddddd. He will make his debut
on MLB Tonight live from the winter meetings in Florida
on Dec. 9, the network said. The 38-year-old infielder
spent 16 seasons in the majors. He hit .235 in part-time
duty last season, his only one in Toronto, with seven
home runs and 36 RBIs in 204 at-bats. DeRosa finished his
career with a .268 average, 100 home runs and 494 RBIs in
1,241 games with Atlanta, Texas, the Chicago Cubs,
Cleveland, St. Louis, San Francisco, Washington and
Toronto. He appeared in the playoffs six times. DeRosa
grew up in New Jersey and attended the University of
Pennsylvania.
