This time, the big grin he flashed at the end of his run showed how much this meant to him. ''I was psyched,'' Miller said. ''I skied hard.'' ——— Lindsey Vonn The most important thing about Vonn's training run wasn't her time. It was simply finish- ing, which fulfilled the require- ment of running the course on the same day at least once. With a starting spot waiting for her, Vonn will turn her atten- tion to being there. The race is scheduled for Wednesday and there's another training session Tuesday, although she's now eli- gible to skip it. ''The course here is just so bumpy,'' Vonn said. ''It was a fight just to make it down the whole way.'' ——— Snowboardcross When Wescott crossed the finish line ahead of Canada's Mike Robertson, fans gasped and cheered while the 33-year- old champion fell to the ground, exhausted and exhilarated. Tony Ramoin of France won the bronze. American Nate Holland, a five-time Winter X Games champ, spun out early in the final foursome. ——— Speedskating Problems with various ice- resurfacing machines caused a lengthy delay during the men's 500 meters. But that's not why American Shani Davis dropped out. Davis finished 18th in the first race, then withdrew to save his energy for the 1,000 on Wednesday night. He's the defending champion and the world record-holder at that dis- tance. ——— Cross-country skiing Switzerland's Dario Cologna collapsed across the finish line after winning the men's 15-kilo- meter freestyle cross-country race. Sweden's Charlotte Kalla led from start to finish to win the women's 10-kilometer freestyle race. In the men's race, Italian Pietro Piller Cottrer won the sil- ver and Lukas Bauer of the Czech Republic took bronze. James Southam was the top American finisher at 48th. In the women's event, Kristi- na Smigun-Vaehi of Estonia, who won two golds in 2006 but has struggled this season, took silver and Marit Bjoergen of Norway got the bronze. Caitlin Compton finished 30th, the best by an American since 1984. ——— Luge A brief, private memorial ser- vice was held at a Vancouver funeral home for the Georgian luger killed in a crash during training, then his casket was flown home for burial. Three Georgian athletes, including figure skater Otar Japaridze, wearing a black arm- band on his red team jacket, filed past the open casket to touch the body of their fallen teammate, Nodar Kumari- tashvili. His uncle and coach, Felix Kumaritashvili, broke into tears outside the funeral home. The president of Georgia's Olympic Committee was accompanying the body back to Georgia, where the casket would be received by a spiritual leader. Kumaritashvili's father told The Associated Press in Georgia that shortly before the fatal run he spoke to his 21-year-old son, who said he was worried about the track's speed. ''He told me, 'I will either win or die,''' David Kumari- tashvili said. ''But that was youthful bravado, he couldn't be seriously talking about death.'' The International Luge Fed- eration already has spoken with officials of the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, about speed and safety. ''We already have agreement with them to construct a track where we are very comfortable that the speed is going to be lower,'' federation secretary general Svein Romstad told Associated Press Television News. ——— Bobsled/Skeleton The head of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation is OK with the track at the Whistler Sliding Center. American skeleton athletes trained on the track Monday for the first time since Kumari- tashvili's death. They were among the majority of competi- tors who started at the top of the track, bypassing the option of starting from a lower spot. Luge events were moved down the track to make races slower and safer, and indeed there wasn't a single wreck in the finals. ——— Figure skating Johnny Weir already has decided to drop fur from his cos- tume. Now he's thinking about adding a quadruple jump to his program. ''What do I have to lose?'' Weir said. ''I'm not a favorite for a medal here. If I feel like doing it, I will do it.'' The flamboyant three-time U.S. champion has rarely used the four-revolution jump. Urged to do it by his coach, Galina Zmievskaya, Weir pulled off a good one during practice Mon- day. ——— Men's hockey Attention, Canada: Roberto Luongo will be starting in goal against Norway in the Olympics opener Tuesday, and Martin Brodeur will start Thursday against Switzerland. The Canadians were upset by the Swiss in 2006, on their way to finishing seventh. Luongo has won eight of his last 12 starts for Vancouver, and will be playing in his home arena. Brodeur has lost three of his last four starts for the New Jersey Devils and has permitted 25 goals in his last eight games. Canada also decided to keep Ryan Getzlaf on the roster, deciding his sprained left ankle won't be a problem. ——— Women's hockey Forward Erika Lawler didn't break any bones or sprain any ligaments when she crashed into the boards Sunday. But she was bruised enough to skip practice Monday. Coach Mark Johnson is opti- mistic Lawler will play Tuesday against Russia. He knows her pretty well, too. She played for him at the University of Wiscon- sin, winning three national championships in four years and captaining the 2009 team. Canada beat Switzerland 10- 1, another thumping but not as lopsided as the Canadians' 18-0 win over Slovakia.

James, Wade wait to see if help is coming DALLAS (AP) — Elec- trifying as teammates for one night, imagine LeBron James and Dwyane Wade together for an entire sea- son. At least one of them does. ''We can dream, can't we?'' Wade said. ''I dream.'' After watching them Sunday night in the All- Star game at Cowboys Sta- dium, who wouldn't? Well, except rival coaches. ''I don't think you need- ed to see tonight to under- stand that that would scare any of us in this league,'' Eastern Conference coach Stan Van Gundy said. Wade scored 28 points and was the MVP, James added 25 and the East beat the West 141-139 before 108,713 fans, the largest crowd ever to attend a bas- ketball game. A James-Wade partner- ship could happen, but that wouldn't be until the sum- mer. In the meantime, one or both of them still could get some All-Star caliber help. The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, with Cleve- land and Miami among the teams most frequently appearing in the usual mid- February speculation. And for the second consecutive year, much of it focuses on Amare Stoudemire of Phoenix. The Cavaliers and Heat both have been linked to the All-Star forward, a ter- rific Plan B if neither can make a James-Wade tan- dem happen. ''I'm aware of the talk just like everybody else,'' James said. ''I've been a part of guys getting traded to our team and getting traded away from our team. I never get caught up into it until I know or hear from our coaching staff or GMs that the deal has actually happened.'' Stoudemire seemed to acknowledge the trade talk surrounding the Cavs in a post on his Twitter feed Monday night, defending his play with Shaquille O'Neal when the Cleve- land center was with Phoenix last season. ''I play very well with Shaq. I adverage (sic) more pts last year WITH him an (sic) played better D,'' Stoudemire tweeted. ''You guys can stop saying we don't play well together.'' The Cavaliers may not need a deal after rolling into the break with a 13- game winning streak and an NBA-best 43-11 record, even without the injured Mo Williams. But they also want to show James they are totally committed to winning before he becomes a free agent this summer, and there's still some improving that can be done. Cleveland thought it had a team that could win last season, but Orlando exploited its lack of athleti- cism at the power forward spot in the Eastern Confer- ence finals. A player such as Stoudemire or Washing- ton's Antawn Jamison could fill that void. Miami needs a little of everything after reaching the break in seventh place in the East with a 26-27 record. Wade has warned the Heat his decision to stay this summer will be based on whether he believes his team can com- pete for the championship. ''I haven't been follow- ing it too much. I always know that when trade deadline comes, the city of Miami is going to be in something because it's a very attractive city, so auto- matically our name is going to come up,'' Wade said Friday. ''But I'm a believer you wait for things to happen before you go too much into it.'' Some recent deadline days have been duds, but more teams could have incentive to deal this year. There's a chance to save money for owners who are losing millions, or the opportunity to position themselves to be buyers in what's expected to be a stellar free-agent class. Dallas jumped on a Washington team looking to cut payroll during a dis- astrous season by acquiring two-time All-Star Caron Butler and center Brendan Haywood in a seven-player deal Saturday. If the Wiz- ards keep cutting, Jamison also could be moved this week. The second half begins again with the NBA dreaming of a Cavaliers- Lakers final that would deliver a highly anticipated matchup between Kobe Bryant and James — this time even bigger with the inclusion of Shaquille O'Neal, too. The Lakers won their last three before the break and will be even stronger once Bryant returns from an injured left ankle that forced him to skip the All- Star game. ''Hopefully I'll be — I'll definitely be — health- ier than I was the last month, so that's a plus,'' Bryant said. Those teams have the same pursuers as a year ago. Denver is running sec- ond in the West, while Orlando trails Cleveland just in front of Atlanta and Boston, which has to hope Kevin Garnett stays healthy and Ray Allen relocates his shot.
