PARK CITY, Utah - Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries of Canada finished sixth and Olympic silver medallist Elana Meyers Taylor of the U. Destockage Chaussures Pas Cher .S. was seventh Saturday, becoming the first women to drive against men in an international four-man bobsled competition.Nick Cunningham of the U.S. drove to the win in the North American Cup race, one spot ahead of 2010 Olympic champion and fellow American Steven Holcomb. Meyers Taylors two-run time was about a second behind Cunningham.Still, the historical significance of the day was not lost on the two-time Olympic medallist .Its hard to realize the impact this has on the history of the sport right now, Meyers Taylor said. Its hard to take it all in, because at the end of the day Im a competitor and I always want to perform better. Im a little disappointed with todays finish, but at the same time I know that the importance of this moment will hit me later. Its pretty cool.Bobsleds international governing body ruled this year that four-man sliding will be considered gender neutral going forward, meaning women will have a chance to compete in four-man against males. Its likely that Humphries, from Calgary, and Meyers Taylor — generally considered the two strongest female pilots in the sport — will be the lone women on the World Cup circuit this winter.Although both are qualified for their respective national teams, they still need to satisfy experience requirements before getting cleared to race on the World Cup circuit. To do so before the season opens next month at Lake Placid, New York, Humphries and Meyers Taylor are planning to race in Canada and France to reach the required number of lower-tier races.Humphries celebrated the accomplishment Saturday by showing up at the 2002 Olympic track with a shirt that bore the words Boys Club.Its pretty awesome to share this moment with Kaillie and to be doing this together, Meyers Taylor said. Were able to relate as we go through this whole new experience for us. Shes my friend and someone I can confide in, and weve been working together to progress this sport in any way we can.Meyers Taylor also competed in the womens events at the North American Cup stop in Park City, teaming with brakeman Cherrelle Garrett to top American Jamie Greubel Poser and Michelle Howe in the first race with Humphries and Melissa Lotholz, taking third.In the second womens race, Greubel Poser and Lauren Gibbs won convincingly.

PETERSBURG, Fla. MANAUS, Brazil -- With Cristiano Ronaldo on the field, a one-goal lead is never safe. The world player of the year rarely sparkled on a hot and humid night in the jungle, but his inch-perfect stoppage-time cross set up Varela for the equalizing goal Sunday in Portugals 2-2 draw against the United States at the World Cup. The Real Madrid winger, who has been playing despite a left knee injury, showed flashes of his best, but his impact was minimal until the final seconds of the match. He curled the ball in to a diving Varela, who headed past Tim Howard to give the Portuguese team a slim hope of advancing to the second round and deny the Americans instant advancement. "He made a great cross," said Howard, Ronaldos former teammate from their days at Manchester United. "Footballs cruel sometimes." The United States now has four points in Group G, the same as Germany. Both Portugal and Ghana have one point. The Americans will face Germany on Thursday in Recife, while Portugal takes on Ghana at the same time in Brasilia. "Obviously were disappointed, but at the end of the day youve got to look at the positives, we got a point," said United States captain Clint Dempsey, who scored to give the Americans a 2-1 lead in the 81st. "Its going down to the last game and hopefully we get the job done." Nani scored first for Portugal, shooting past a sprawling Howard in the fifth minute. But the Americans responded in the second half as Portugal seemed to wilt in the stifling heat. Jermaine Jones made it 1-1 with a curling shot in the 64th after a cross from Graham Zusi made its way through the Portugal defence. And Dempsey, playing with a broken nose, then put the Americans ahead, using his stomach to direct the ball into the net from a cross by Zusi. "Now we have to go out and beat Germany, thats what we have to do," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "We have to play Germany, we have one less day to recover, we played in the Amazon, they played on a place with less travel. We hhave to do it the tough way. Vente De Chaussures Pas Cher. " Dempseys goal was his fourth at a World Cup and second at this years tournament. Jones scored his third goal for the United States national team and first in almost two years. It was all Portugal for much of the first half, with Ronaldo in the starting lineup but getting less involved as the match progressed. The Americans, however, started to get more and more chances and even had a shot from Michael Bradley cleared off the line by Ricardo Costa in the 55th. "There didnt seem to be any problem with Cristiano Ronaldo," Portugal coach Paulo Bento said. "What happened during the game has something to do with our other players." The heat in the Amazon rainforest, however, seemed to slow the Portuguese as the match wore on. In the 39th minute, referee Nestor Pitana of Argentina called for a cooling break, the first such decision to be taken at this World Cup. At the start of the match, FIFA listed the temperature at 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) with 66 per cent humidity. FIFA uses the "Wet Bulb Globe Temperature" to determine when official cooling breaks should be added, and says the WGBT must be above 32 degrees C (90 degrees F) for them to be considered. The breaks are supposed to occur in the 30th and 75th minutes. There was no break in the second half, but that didnt stop Ronaldo from creating the final goal. "It was a thriller," Klinsmann said. "Everybody who had a chance to be today in Manaus will talk about this game for a long time." ------ Lineups United States: Tim Howard; Fabian Johnson, Geoff Cameron, Matt Besler, DaMarcus Beasley; Kyle Beckerman, Jermaine Jones, Alejandro Bedoya (DeAndre Yedlin, 72), Michael Bradley, Graham Zusi (Omar Gonzalez, 90); Clint Dempsey (Chris Wondolowski, 87).
