VAL DI FIEMME, Italy -- Alex Harvey raced to silver in the 20-kilometre Classic Mass Start on Saturday, claiming Canadas first medal on the Tour de Ski. http://www.airmaxgronline.com/nike-air-max-2015.html . Eldar Roenning of Norway finished strongly in the penultimate stage of the nine-race Tour to finish in one hour 2.2 seconds. He was just over a second in front of Harvey, a native of St-Ferreol-les-Neiges, Que., and Dario Cologna of Switzerland. "I knew the shape was good all along the Tour, but there was always a little part of the whole equation lacking," Harvey said. "But today everything finally connected together. My skis were so fast today and Im really happy to be on the podium." Devon Kershaw of Sudbury, Ont., was sixth. The 23-year-old Harvey worked at the front of the pack with Kershaw over the gruelling Val di Fiemme track before making his move down the final plunge into the stadium. "My skis were just so good and I knew coming in the final downhill when I started double poling that I had a chance at the podium," Harvey said. "This is a really hard course. Oslo was the benchmark for difficulty last year, but I think Val di Fiemme raised the bar further with the most climbing you do on the World Cup." The World Cup podium finish was Harveys fourth -- he captured two bronze medals in 2009, and a silver last season. Saturdays performance came after Canadian coach Justin Wadsworth decided to fly in physiotherapist Shayne Hutchins from Calgary after the seventh stage to work on Harveys tight back and leg muscles. "Justin flew Shayne in (Friday) and drove 10 hours in the worst snowstorm he has ever seen to pick him up in Munich and drive him to Val di Fiemme," Harvey said. "I had two hours with him (Friday) night and 30 minutes again this morning. Im really glad he could make the trip. Thats how our team works. We play it day by day and if we need something Justin makes it happen." Kershaw is fourth in the overall standings, while Harvey is sixth ahead of Sundays final stage. "It was a big day for Alex and Devon," Wadsworth said. "To have Alex break through at the finish line is a great day for the entire program." Cologna increased his overall lead to 82 seconds in front of second-place Petter Northug. Northug finished fourth Saturday and the Norwegian needs something dramatic on the gruelling climb up Mount Cermis to overtake Cologna. Roenning climbed to 20th in the overall standings. In the womens 10-kilometre event, Justyna Kowalczyk beat Marit Bjoergen of Norway to retake the overall lead. Kowalczyk raced clear about a kilometre from the finish line and hung on to win in 25 minutes 49.8 seconds, just under eight seconds ahead of Bjoergen. It now looks set to be a two-way race for the title in Sundays final event, with the Pole starting 11.5 seconds ahead of Bjoergen, who is bidding to become the first Norwegian to win the Tour de Ski. One of the pre-race favourites, Therese Johaug seemed to tire halfway through and was well off the pace in finishing 11th. The Norwegian is third in the standings but nearly five minutes behind Kowalczyk. ------ With files from The Associated Press. http://www.airmaxgronline.com/nike-air-max-90/nike-air-max-93.html .

Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Teetering Tenures In a live chat on Tuesday afternoon, ESPN.coms Katie Strange said she believes Dustin Byfuglien may not be a member of the Winnipeg Jets much longer. In a response to a question about the future of the 6-foot-5, 265 lbs. defenceman, Strange was short and to the point. "I can see Dustin Byfuglien being dealt, yes. His size, offensive ability, and versatility will likely be attractive to some teams. Right-handed defensemen are hard to find," she wrote. Byfuglien is third among all defenceman with 10 goals and 37 points, but is ranked in the bottom three with a minus-16 rating.Another veteran whose job may be on the line, according to Strange, is New York Rangers forward Brad Richards. Strange said despite the price tag - six years left after this season at $6.67 million per year - the Rangers will decide Richards future based on how many "good years" they believe he has left. Richards will be 40 when his contract expires. Volatile Venture With the post-season now a realistic possibility for the surging Ottawa Senators, general manager Bryan Murray seems ready to make a deal. "We are available to make a deal," he said in a connference call Tuesday. Nike Air Force 1 Greece. However, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun writes that one of the prized names on the market, Buffalo Sabres forward Matt Moulson, may be a little too pricey for the nations capital. Brennan says one NHL executive believes a deal between the Senators and Sabres "makes sense", but another executive said the Sabres would likely ask for too much in the form of "a minimum of a first (round pick) and a top young player. And Im not even sure they even want a first in this draft." Moulson is making $3.13 million this year and is said to be looking for a long-term deal and double his current wage. The Senators likely wont be willing to give up the pieces or dollars for a deal going forward. Faint Twinkle If the Dallas Stars find themselves sinking further and further out of the playoff picture, a veteran sale might be on the way. Mike Heika of the Dallas News said Tuesday that if the Stars remain on the outside looking in at the beginning of February or after the Olympics, then "players like Vern Fiddler, Ray Whitney and Erik Cole will be made available." The Stars dont have to look far into the past as a reference for such moves. Last year the team sent Brendan Morrow to the Pittsburgh Penguins less than two weeks before the trade deadline and traded Jaromir Jagr to the Boston Bruins and Derek Roy to the Vancouver Canucks the day before. Heika says the Stars may also be interested in moving defencemen Trevor Daley or Alex Goligoski. wholesale nfl jerseyscheap jerseys from china ' ' '
