With just days to go until the Winter Olympics in Beijing begin, athletes are poised and ready to compete in the second Games of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The opening ceremonies will take place this Friday in China.
The pair competed in the 2018 games in PyeongChang, South Korea. Not only were they the first Nova Scotians ever named to that team, but they were also the only athletes from the province to head to the Olympics that year.
Saulnier, 29, and Turnbull, 28, were both on the national women’s team that won bronze in 2019 and gold in 2021.
Saulnier is currently with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association team based in Montreal. Turnbull also joined the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association, training with the Calgary-based team and competing in the Dream Gap Tours in 2020 and 2021.
Behind the bench, the women’s team this year in Beijing also includes two Nova Scotians. Troy Ryan is the team’s head coach, and Kori Cheverie takes on the assistant coach role.
On the men’s side, Antigonish’s Alex Grant will also be playing hockey for Team Canada.
Grant is a former captain of the Saint John Sea Dogs and fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2007. The 33-year-old defenceman currently plays with Helsinki-based Jokerit in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
ANTIGONISH ➡️ BEIJING ✈️
Big congratulations go out to Antigonish’s Alex Grant on being named to @HockeyCanada‘s Olympic men’s hockey team. 🇨🇦
As well, Liam Moffatt from Truro is competing in snowboard cross. According to his biography on the Canadian team’s website, the 24-year-old fell in love with snowboarding at age seven and was awarded the Neil Daffern Award for Excellence by Canada Snowboard in 2020.

Jessica Wong, who is originally from Baddeck, is also competing at the Olympic Games. She is part of Team China’s women’s hockey team.
The PGA Tour is beginning to hit its stride, with another stop on the California swing at this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
It’s still January, so there’s a lot of golf left to be played. Many of the sport’s biggest names are just beginning to find their games.
Jon Rahm, the No. 1 player in the world, seems to have picked up where he left off in 2021, while others, like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, are still getting dialed in.
The first edition of the PGA Tour power rankings includes many familiar names — plus some noticeable omissions. These aren’t necessarily the 25 most talented players in the world, or the top horses for the course heading into Pebble Beach. They’re the best 25 players, in one person’s opinion, since the start of the 2021-22 PGA Tour season, which began in September.
That’s why you won’t find stars like Tony Finau (one top-25 finish in six starts with two missed cuts), Patrick Reed (one top-10 in eight stars while making his way back from double pneumonia), Harris English, Abraham Ancer and Louis Oosthuizen (hasn’t played since withdrawing from the RSM Classic in November).
1. Jon Rahm The Spaniard couldn’t close out the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, where he won his first major championship in the U.S. Open in June. The scariest part for the rest of the field is that he didn’t have his best game this past week and still finished in a tie for third. He leads the PGA Tour in shots gained: total (2.153) and shots gained: off the tee (.928).
2. Justin Thomas Thomas has four top-25 finishes in as many starts, including a solo third at the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba in November. His caddie switch to Jim “Bones” Mackay is paying big dividends; he seems more confident on the greens after some early struggles.
3. Collin Morikawa The only player in history to win two different majors in his first two starts in those majors — he won the PGA Championship the first time he played it and The Open the first time he played it — Morikawa has made just three Tour starts since November, and finished in the top seven in each of them. He spent the past two weeks playing on the DP World Tour.
4. Patrick Cantlay Cantlay, the reigning FedEx Cup champion, has made just two starts since November — a solo fourth at the Tournament of Champions and solo ninth at the American Express. With the way he’s striking his irons — he leads the Tour in greens hit in regulation — he’ll be among the favorites to win his first green jacket and Masters at Augusta National in April.
5. Hideki Matsuyama The reigning Masters champion won in two of his past four starts, at the ZOZO Championship in his native Japan in October and the Sony Open in Hawaii a few weeks ago. He came back from five shots down and won the Sony Open in a sudden-death playoff with one of the best 3-wood shots you’ll ever see.
6. Viktor Hovland The 24-year-old Norwegian is starting to prove he’s one of the most talented players in the world. He claimed his third victory in five events by making birdie from inside 3 feet to defeat Richard Bland on the first playoff hole at the Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club on Sunday. He also won the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba and the Hero World Challenge, an unofficial Tour event.
7. Rory McIlroy Another late collapse prevented McIlroy from having a chance to win in Dubai on Sunday. Needing a birdie to win or a par to make a playoff, McIlroy hit his approach shot on the par-5 18th hole into the water, made bogey and finished third. Still, the Northern Irishman is playing solid golf; he won the CJ Cup at Summit in October, tied for sixth in Dubai and tied for 12th in Abu Dhabi.
8. Cameron Smith The Australian won the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii earlier this month with a total of 34-under 258, the lowest score ever in a 72-hole event. He also won the 2020 Sony Open and is one of just six players in history to win both events in Hawaii.
9. Dustin Johnson The former World No. 1 hasn’t played much golf lately and hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since winning his first green jacket at the 2020 Masters. He’ll try to defend his Saudi International title next week. His driving accuracy remains an issue.
10. Xander Schauffele Schauffele hasn’t done much since helping the U.S. rout the Europeans in the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. His best finish in limited-field events was a 12th-place finish at the Sentry Tournament of Champions at the beginning of 2022. He’ll be busy the next three weeks with starts at the Saudi International, Waste Management Phoenix Open and The Genesis Invitational.
11. Will Zalatoris It’s not a question of if Zalatoris will win a PGA Tour event, but rather when the first will come and how many major championships he’ll win in his career. He’s already one of the game’s best ball-strikers. He added weight to his slight frame — he’s listed at 6-foot-2 and a generous 175 pounds — plus some swing speed during the offseason. His putting remains a problem, though. Zalatoris finished 64th in strokes gained: putting among the 79 players who made the cut at the Farmers.
12. Sam Burns Before missing the cut at Torrey Pines, Burns had finished in the top 20 in each of his seven starts in 2021-22. His victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship in October moved him to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings for the first time in his career; he’s currently fifth.
13. Sungjae Im The South Korean continues to play a lot of golf, with eight starts already this season. He won the Shriners Children’s Open in October and had three more top-10s since then, including a tie for sixth at the Farmers Insurance Open.
14. Scottie Scheffler The Ryder Cup rookie hero is starting to heat up, with three straight top-25 finishes, including a tie for 20th at Torrey Pines. He’s still trying to dial in his driver; he ranks 110th in shots gained: off the tee and 113th in driving accuracy.
15. Daniel Berger Berger hasn’t played much since the Ryder Cup. He has just two starts in official Tour events — a tie for fifth at the Tournament of Champions and tie for 20th in the Farmers Insurance Open. He has three straight top-10s at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, including a win last year. He will be among the favorites this week.
16. Marc Leishman The Australian has played consistently well since the start of the 2021-22 season with five top-25 finishes in seven tour starts. He tied for third at the Shriners Children’s Open and QBE Shootout, an unofficial event.
17. Brooks Koepka Even a radical hair-color change — he dyed his hair blond — couldn’t turn around the four-time major champion’s game.
He missed the cut again at the Farmers Insurance Open, the third time he didn’t play on the weekend in his past five starts.
18. Billy Horschel Horschel won the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play last season and then became only the second American — Arnold Palmer was the first in 1975 — to win the BMW PGA Championship, the biggest event on the European Tour. He had the first-round lead at Torrey Pines before finishing tied for 11th.
19. Bryson DeChambeau You have to wonder if all the speed training and work toward competing in a long-drive competition is beginning to take its toll on DeChambeau’s body. He withdrew from the Sony Open with a left wrist injury and then missed the cut at Torrey Pines, after holding the same wrist throughout a forgettable back nine in the second round.
20. Jason Kokrak Kokrak won the Houston Open in November, his third victory in 13 months, and had one of the better fall swings of anyone on tour. He has made only two starts this year, finishing 38th in the Tournament of Champions and tied for 17th in the Sony Open.
21. Talor Gooch The former Oklahoma State star won his first tour event at the RSM Classic at Sea Island and followed it up with two more top-20s. Gooch isn’t exceptionally long off the tee, but is among the better ball-strikers, which is why he ranks sixth in scoring average at 69.8.
22. Luke List After beating Zalatoris in a playoff at Torrey Pines, List, 37, became the oldest first-time winner on the PGA Tour since Ryan Armour won the 2017 Sanderson Farms Championship at 41 years old. Going into this past weekend, he had 22 career top-10s without a victory since the 2015-16 season, second-most among players without a win during that stretch.
23. Tyrrell Hatton We haven’t seen much of the Englishman since he was a part of the Europeans’ flop at Whistling Straits. He tied for 18th at the CJ Cup and tied for ninth at the Hero World Challenge. Hatton has done pretty good work in Europe, tying for sixth in Abu Dhabi and tying for fourth in Dubai.
24. Kevin Kisner This ain’t no hobby, as he says, for the former Georgia star. Since missing the cut at the RSM Classic, Kisner has posted three straight top-5 finishes — tied for fifth at the QBE Shootout, tied for eighth at the Tournament of Champions and tied for third at the Sony Open. He ranks sixth in greens in regulation and 17th in strokes gained: putting.
25. Jordan Spieth Before missing the cut at Torrey Pines, Spieth had posted three consecutive top-25s, including a tie for 18th at the CJ Cup and tie for 21st at the Tournament of Champions. He made a remarkable comeback a year ago and needs to regain that momentum at Pebble Beach, where he won in 2017 and has four other top-10s.
Khaka five-for pushed the game into overtime, and that’s when the WI powerhouse hit 19 runs in five balls
West Indies Women 160 (Dottin 37, Khaka 5-26) tied with South Africa Women 160 (Luus 46, Matthews 2-21) West Indies Women won the one-over eliminator
Deandra Dottin‘s career-best 150* on Friday could not beat the rain but her 19 off five balls in the Super Over sealed a rain-affect second ODI against South Africa. The main event was reduced to 41 overs a side and both teams were bowled out for 160 before Dottin and Hayley Matthews starred in a record Super Over of 25 without loss against Shabnim Ismail. South Africa’s Chloe Tryon and Tazmin Brits got off to a good start with 15 runs off the first four balls off Matthews, but managed only two off the last two to concede the match.
Dottin was at her destructive best in the match proper, where she top-scored with 37, and especially in the Super Over. She swiped a full toss to mid-wicket for two to start off, then moved across her stumps to ramp Ismail for four, and then got down on one knee to drive her over long-on for six. She took three off the last ball she faced leaving Matthews one ball that she sent over the leg side for another six.
When Deandra decides to bat, it’s quite difficult to have a plan,” South Africa’s captain Suné Luus conceded. “You can try and contain her on one side but she is a batter with a lot of experience and power.”
And South Africa were unable to match that skill. With Lizelle Lee out of the series as she recovers from Covid-19, South Africa chose to use Tazmin Brits and Chloe Tryon, who started the reply with a six over mid-wicket. She scrambled through for one on the ball after before Brits hit Matthews for successive fours. South Africa needed 10 runs off the last two deliveries and scored two off the penultimate ball, which put victory out of reach.
South Africa and West Indies were involved in the last tied match, with West Indies’ winning the Super Over while South Africa have been involved in the last five tied ODIs and stand-in captain Luus joked that she hoped they could come out on the right side of tense affairs fairly soon. But for that, their tactics in crunch moments needed examination. In this case, South Africa preferred Ismail in the Super Over over Ayabonga Khaka, who took a career-best 5 for 26 in eight overs, and Luus was left to explain why. “We felt Shabnim with her experience and she bowled the over before so she was confident she could keep West Indies to a low total,” she said.
Ismail bowled what became the last over of the match and dismissed Shakera Selman lbw with scores level, to snatch a tie from the jaws of defeat after West Indies had clawed their way back into the chase. They were 83 for 6 in the 21st over, with danger-woman Dottin dismissed for 37, and South Africa’s slower bowlers enjoying success on what Luus called a “sticky” pitch. Chedean Nation and Chinelle Henry came together for the seventh-wicket with the intention to take their team over the line. “We had a discussion that it had to be between me and Chedean. It was about applying ourselves and keep it ticking,” Henry said. “We understand each other and we bat well together. We knew we had to take the responsibility to take the team to the end.”
Henry became Khaka’s fourth victim to end their partnership on 54 and Shamilia Connell was out lbw off the next ball to leave West Indies needing 24 runs with two wickets in hand. Nation and Selman then shared 21-runs for the ninth wicket before Nation was caught off Masabata Klaas and West Indies were three runs short of victory. Ismail denied them that but could not stop them from winning the Super Over.
Ultimately, South Africa may rue the way they batted, with collapses at the top and bottom of the innings. They started slowly but solidly and reached 53 without loss in the 17th over but then lost three wickets for five runs in 13 deliveries and the middle-order was required to rebuild. Luus shared a 33-run fourth-wicket stand with Mignon du Preez and a 29-run fifth-wicket stand with Tryon. She top-scored with 46 before South Africa’s lower order fell away. They lost five wickets for 18 runs in 30 balls. The five bowlers West Indies used took two wickets each, with Shamilia Connell and Hayley Matthews conceding at under three runs an over.
The third match in the series will be played on Thursday, at the same venue, where according to Luus, the persistent summer rain is helping to replicate conditions the teams can expect at the Women’s World Cup in New Zealand.

Rafael Nadal, yesterday, at the Australian Open, came back from two sets down to win a titanic five-set duel against Daniil Medvedev to claim a record 21st Grand Slam men’s title.
Looking fatigued and out of it as the Russian world No 2 carved out an emphatic two-set lead, Nadal, after a toilet breaks, managed to come back to win 2-6, 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in five hours 24 minutes on Rod Laver Arena.
This is the second-longest match down under, falling 30 minutes short of the 2013 finals where Djokovic wọn in five sets.
Nadal has managed to come out on top in the physical war of attrition to move ahead of era rivals, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, on the all-time list of men’s major winners. Djokovic, a nine-time winner at Melbourne and pre-tournament favourite to win this title, sadly missed his chance to improve on his Australian Open record and overall title slam when he was deported over-vaccination issues on the eve of the tournament.
It was one of the 35-year-old Spanish warrior’s great title victories in his 29th Grand Slam final. It was also his second Australian Open, 13 years after his first in 2009.
“This has been one of the most emotional matches of my tennis career,” Nadal said. “It’s just amazing. I didn’t know a few months back if I would even be playing again on the tour and I am back on this court before you all today. You don’t know how much I fought to be here.
“The huge support I have received in the three weeks here is going to stay in my heart for the rest of my life.”
Nadal also became only the fourth man to win each of the four Grand Slams twice and the third-oldest man in the Open era (since 1970) to win a Grand Slam title, behind Ken Rosewall.
The final went down to a dramatic end with Nadal being broken as he served for the championship only for the Spaniard to break back immediately, an anti-climatic end for Medvedev who looked out of it towards the end.
On his second attempt to serve it out, Nadal powered to three match points to win amid chaotic scenes in his player’s box and the frenzied crowd.
It is the fourth time in his career that Nadal clawed back to win from two sets down, but the first time in a grand slam final. It is also the second time Nadal will deny Medvedev in a grand slam final, winning a five-set epic at the 2019 US Open. Nadal holds a 4-1 lead over Medvedev in their five matches to date.
Medvedev had wrecked Djokovic’s calendar grand slam push and bid for the 21st title in New York four months ago and was aiming to do the same to Nadal in Melbourne.
Medvedev lost his second consecutive Australian Open final after falling in straight sets to Djokovic in last year’s final. While this is just the first grand slam of the year, doubts hover around Djokovic’s return at other events to challenge for the biggest titles, as other slams may enforce vaccine mandates on players.
Everton on Monday appointed Frank Lampard as their new manager on a two-and-a-half year deal with the task of keeping the Toffees in the Premier League.
Lampard has been out of the game since being sacked as Chelsea boss a little over a year ago.
The former England international will take charge for the first time on Saturday when Everton host Brentford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
“It is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton Football Club. I’m very hungry to get started,” said Lampard.
“I think Everton is a unique club in that you can really understand what the fans want to see. The first thing they want is fight and desire and that must always be our baseline.
“My first message to the players will be that we have to do this together. We’ll try to do our job and I know the fans will be there backing us.”
Lampard takes charge with Everton just four points above the relegation zone.
Rafael Benitez was sacked earlier in January following a 2-1 defeat relegation rivals Norwich.
The Spaniard had been an unpopular appointment with Everton fans due to his history as a Champions League-winning manager for Liverpool.
Supporters protested inside Goodison Park after a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on January 22 and outside the stadium over the past week at the running of the club by British-Iranian businessman Farhad Moshiri.
Moshiri has spent over half a billion pounds ($672 million) on transfers since his takeover in 2016, but much of that money has been wasted.
Lampard becomes the club’s seventh permanent manager in less than six years.
His former England teammate Wayne Rooney turned down the chance to have an interview for the job, while Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira was reportedly the favourite until a fan revolt against his appointment.
“I am really delighted that Frank has joined us,” said Moshiri.
“He has played at the very highest level of the game and has football in his blood. He impressed us all greatly during the thorough interview process and we’re all ready to give him all of our support as he looks to give the team an immediate boost.”
After the visit of Brentford, Lampard has a baptism of fire back in the Premier League, with a trip to fellow-strugglers Newcastle on February 8 that could have a huge bearing on who is relegated at the end of the season.
The 43-year-old, Chelsea’s all-time leading goalscorer as a player, started his managerial career at Derby.
He led the Rams to the Championship play-off final in his only season in charge at Pride Park, which ended in defeat to Aston Villa at Wembley.
Lampard led Chelsea into the Champions League during his only full season as manager at Stamford Bridge, but was dismissed last January with the Blues languishing in ninth place in the Premier League table.
Helio Castroneves climbed the fence for the third time this calendar year Sunday after earning another crown jewel victory, this time a second consecutive win in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The Brazilian closed out the race for Meyer Shank Racing, the team that helped him win a record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 last May.
Castroneves in the No. 60 Acura held off Ricky Taylor over the final hour of the twice-round-the-clock race – an ironic close because Castroneves won his first career Rolex watch 365 days ago as Taylor’s teammate in the No. 10 Acura.
Castroneves denied Wayne Taylor Racing a fourth consecutive win at Daytona International Speedway, where he of course climbed the fence with his team in celebration. Now rival team owner Taylor went to victory lane to congratulate Castroneves.
The win for Michael Shank came on the 10th anniversary of Shank’s first victory in North America´s most prestigious sports car race. That win in the 50th running of the Rolex with the late Justin Wilson and NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger gave Shank’s fledgling program credibility, and Castroneves since May has helped Shank show the team is a legitimate force.
Castroneves will drive the full IndyCar season for Shank this year in a two-car effort that includes his former Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud. Shank grabbed both Castroneves and Pagenaud to help his fulltime IMSA sports car drivers Olivier Jarvis and Tom Blomqvist win the 60th running of the Rolex.
Daytona 24H went down to the final minutes
The 24-hour race remarkably came down to the final minutes in four of the five classes at Daytona. And it was a huge day for the IndyCar Series, which had five drivers claim Rolex watches.
Colton Herta, Pato O’Ward and IndyCar rookie Devlin DeFrancesco rallied DragonSpeed USA from several laps down to win the LMP2 class, with Herta going door-to-door in the final minutes with Tower Motorsport. Herta came out the victor when the two cars almost touched and Louis Deletraz went off course.
The new GTD Pro class was decided by a frantic battle between a pair of Porsches, and Pfaff Motorsports, which enlisted IMSA reigning co-champion Felipe Nasr as its endurance driver, earned the win.
Riley Motorsports won the LMP 3 class and Wright Motorsports won the GT Daytona class.
The field featured 61 cars, the most since 2014, and was run in record-low temperatures.
Temperatures dipped into the low 30s overnight, but it was a mild 53 degrees and sunny when Castroneves climbed yet another fence. (Report by Jenna Fryer)
There’s fear that Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles suffered a significant left knee injury in Sunday’s game in Minnesota and the team will await results of an MRI set for Monday to learn the full extent of the injury, sources told ESPN.
Ingles’ knee buckled on a drive to the basket, causing him to crumple to the court in the second quarter. Ingles needed help to the locker room, and sources tell ESPN that an initial examination fueled considerable concern of a serious knee injury.
Ingles has been a vital part of the Jazz for eight seasons, averaging 7.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists this season in 25 minutes per game. He was the runner-up to teammates Jordan Clarkson for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award last season.
Ingles is in the final year of a $13 million contract.
The Jazz had dropped four straight and eight of 10 games to move into fourth place in the Western Conference prior to Sunday night’s game against Minnesota.
Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal has won his second Australian Open men’s singles title and a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam crown after defeating Russian Daniil Medvedev in five thrilling sets.
The world number six clawed his way back to a gruelling victory after having dropped the first two sets against the world number two Medvedev in Melbourne.
He won the epic encounter 2-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 in five hours and 24 minutes on Sunday.
The win edged Nadal to a record 21 major wins, ahead of his closest rivals Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
Nadal had come into the tournament after catching COVID-19 last month and nursing a foot injury that had sidelined him for four months last season.

“One month and a half ago, I didn’t know if I will be able to be back on the tour playing tennis again and today, I’m here in front of all of you having this trophy with me,” said Nadal after the match.
Medvedev was chasing history himself on Sunday, aiming to become the first man in the Open era to win his second Grand Slam title at the very next major following his U.S. Open title last year.

He defeated Djokovic in that final in New York in September.
Despite coming close and failing to capture his second Grand Slam title, Medvedev was gracious in defeat, praising Nadal for his standard of play.
“I want to congratulate Rafa because what he did today, I was amazed,” he said.
“It was insane. I think the level was very high ….You are an amazing champion.”
The final of the Africa Cup of Nations will go ahead at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Sunday lifted its suspension of the venue
The FIA issued a statement with regards to its ongoing investigation in the events of the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP, as reports have been circulating regarding the future of Formula 1 Race Director Michael Masi.
A report on Friday claimed that Michael Masi is set to lose his position as F1 Race Director from 2022 onwards, as the Australian’s future is being evaluated as part of the FIA Investigation that was launched in the aftermath of the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP, and the unorthodox manner in which Masi handled the safety car period towards the end of the race.
With Max Verstappen benefiting of the safety car period, to go on to win the race and the F1 Drivers’ Championship, Mercedes cried foul and protested the race results only for the protest to be rejected by the stewards.
Mercedes later backed-off their threat to appeal the stewards decision, as the FIA announced they would investigate the incidents, with Mercedes vowing to hold the FIA “accountable” based on the outcome of the investigation, also insinuating that Lewis Hamilton may or may not continue racing from 2022 onwards based on that outcome as well.
The FIA issued a statement on social media today with an update on its investigation.
FIA Statement:
“At this stage, no decision has been taken on the outcome of the detailed analysis currently underway into the events of the last Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“As previously announced, the findings of this detailed analysis will be presented at the F1 Commission meeting in London on 14th February after an open discussion with all F1 drivers and then finally have to be approved at the World Motor Sport Council meeting on 18th March in Bahrain, under the authority of FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem.”
