APELDOORN, Netherlands -- Winning one world omnium title was a remarkable accomplishment for Tara Whitten, but the Canadian cycling star said claiming a second was something else entirely. Mike Person Falcons Jersey . The 30-year-old from Edmonton won the gruelling six-discipline omnium at the world track cycling championships Sunday for a second consecutive year, firmly establishing herself as one to beat when the event makes its Olympic debut next year in London. "To be able to defend the title means a lot," Whitten said on a conference call. "Its one thing to have the race of your life and to win one year, but to come back to win the next year when everybodys gunning for you, I didnt know if I could do it, and Im just amazed and thrilled that I did." She sat second in the standings heading into Day 2, but poured it on Sunday with a second-place finish in both the individual pursuit and scratch race to take the lead at the Omnisport velodrome. She sealed her victory with a fifth place in the 500-metre time trial, finishing with 23 points. Last years victory, she said, was so overwhelming she couldnt appreciate the importance of it. This time, she planned to savour every moment of it. "It kind of feels like its sinking in a bit more this year and Im able to appreciate it more right in the moment," Whitten said. American Sarah Hammer won the silver with 31 points, while Kirsten Wild of Netherlands claimed bronze with 42 points. The omnium is cyclings version of the decathlon in track and field, with six different races over two days. While Whitten has firmly stamped her name at the top of the world standings, the Canadian knows any gap she has on the field could close by London. "Its a new Olympic event so that always means that people are going to make big improvements as the Olympics approach," said Whitten, a former member of Canadas cross-country ski team. "I know where I stand now but I know that I need to keep working to make sure I keep improving in all of the events. Even this year compared to last year I felt like there was lot more depth and you can tell that people are really trying to focus on this event." Breaks between omnium events can be as short as an hour or as long as three hours. The key, Whitten said, is maintaining composure through the two days. Shes been working with a sports psychologist, and said she felt more mentally prepared this week than ever. "The mental part is huge because you really have to be able to take each event as it comes and if it doesnt go exactly as you planned, you have to get over it really fast and refocus on the next event," Whitten said. Sundays victory was her third world title. She also won the points race last year. Cameron Meyer and Leigh Howard defended their madison title and added to Australias gold rush on the final day of the event. Meyer added gold to the silver he won in the points race and took Australias gold haul to seven from 17 events. Anna Meares was looking for one more win in the womens keirin later Sunday. Meyer and Howard started the 50-kilometre madison race slowly and looked in trouble when the Czech pair of Martin Blaha and Jiri Hochmann stole a lap on the rest of the riders. The race featured 16 pairs of riders who took turns sprinting and catapulting each another forward as they changed. With around 40 laps to go, the Australians managed to catch up with the Czechs, grabbing extra points by winning a sprint. The Czechs finished second and the Dutch team of Theo Bos and Peter Schep was third after amassing 21 points in sprints held every 10 laps. Earlier Sunday, Stefan Nimke of Germany paced his race perfectly to win the mens one-kilometre time trial. Nimke, a 33-year-old veteran who won silver in the event at the Sydney Olympics and bronze four years later in Athens, finished in one minute 00.793 seconds to give Germany its first gold of the five-day championships. He put his victory down to staying power over the four-lap dash. "The success for me comes in the last lap," he said. "I can hold high speeds for a long time. I have no top speed but I have long speed." The win followed a second-place finish for Nimke in Wednesdays team sprint. Defending champion Teun Mulder of the Netherlands, roared on by a near-capacity crowd, raced last and was ahead of Nimkes pace for three and a half of the four laps but ran out of steam in the final bend to finish second in 1:01.179. Mulder said he was "very satisfied with his championships" after also winning bronze Saturday in the keirin. Francois Pervis of France was third in 1:01.228. The Australia team has dominated the banked wooden track while Britain, by far the strongest team at the Beijing Olympics, has been disappointing with only one gold, three silver and five bronze. Alex Mack Falcons Jersey . - Being told he couldnt race last weekend because of an eye and vision problem will not make Denny Hamlin less likely to seek the help of medical staffs available at NASCAR tracks every weekend, he said Friday.

All of the games arent created equal and with bowl season kicking off Saturday with the first four matchups, its time to rank them from best to "35th most exciting.New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Domantas Sabonis had 14 points and 10 rebounds and 10th-ranked Gonzaga held off St. Johns down the stretch to record a 73-66 victory and capture the NIT Season Tip-Off. Gary Bell Jr. added 13 points and Byron Wesley scored 12 to help the Bulldogs (6-0) remain undefeated with a hard-earned result in front of a pro-St. Johns crowd on the Red Storms home court of Madison Square Garden. The Red Storm whittled a 15-point second-half deficit down to three in the final minute and had a chance to tie it late. However, DAngelo Harrison was called for an offensive foul with Gonzaga clinging to a 69-66 lead with 15 seconds to play. Phil Greene IV sparked the Red Storms near-comeback by netting 13 of his 20 points after halftime. Rysheed Jordan finished with 18 points and Harrison had 15 for St. Johns (4-1). Gonzaga appeared well on its way to a sixth straight double-digit triumph to open the season after building a 56-41 lead with nine minutes left. The Bulldogs then got sloppy with the ball and missed several foul shots, however, and St. Johns capitalized to get back in it. The Red Storm put together an 11-2 run, during which Gonzaga had three giveaways and went 0-of-3 from the line, to pull within 58-52 with less than 5 1/2 minutes to play. The margin was slimmer when Greene canned a pair of 3- pointers around a Wesley layup, with the second cutting the lead to 69-66 with a minute remaining. Gonzaga came up empty on its ensuing trip down the court, but Kyle Dranginis denied Jordans baseline drive and the ball went out of bounds to the Bulldogs with 26.9 seconds showing. However, Greene pressured the inbounds pass, which landed ooff the right knee of Bell to give St. Vic Beasley JR Falcons Jersey. Johns possession with an opportunity to tie. Harrison dribbled into the lane but was whistled for pushing off, though, and Kevin Pangos hit two free throws on the other end to seal the outcome for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs committed 17 turnovers and were plagued by miscues early on, giving the ball away four times in the games first 3 1/2 minutes. They trailed 20-19 with 7:24 remaining in the opening half after 3-pointers by Jordan and Myles Stewart sparked an 8-2 Red Storm run. Gonzaga then asserted control via an 8-0 spurt that Sabonis capped with a run- out slam off a Pangos feed, and never trailed thereafter. The Bulldogs held a 33-26 lead late in the first half before Jordan capped a 13-point period with a layup that pulled St. Johns within five at the break. Greenes basket just over four minutes into the second half had the Red Storm down just 40-37, but St. Johns didnt hit another field goal for nearly six minutes as Gonzaga embarked on a 13-1 tear. Bell had six points during the surge, which Kyle Wiltjer capped with a layup to stake Gonzaga to a 53-38 advantage midway through the final period. Game Notes Gonzaga is off to its third 6-0 start under head coach Mark Few, having previously done so in 2008-09 and 2012-13 ... Pangos tallied 11 points and nine assists but had three turnovers after committing just one over the Bulldogs first five games ...
