SPORTS B1 TUESDAY, JULY 21, 2015 Canada’s gold streak salvaged WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM WINS HISTORIC TITLE AT PAN AM GAMES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada’s women’s basketball team made history Monday night, and salvaged the country’s gold- medal streak in the process. Hamilton’s Kia Nurse was dominant with 33 points, five rebounds and three assists as Canada defeated the United States 81-73 in the women’s basketball final. The first ever Pan Am Games bas- ketball gold for Canada gave the host nation a shot in the arm. The Canadi- ans were in danger of finishing a day’s competition without a gold for the first time at the Games. Nurse and her teammates made sure that didn’t happen with a gutty effort. Canada outrebounded the U.S. 39-35 and forced the Americans into making 18 turnovers.

TOUR DE FRANCE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAP, France — Two bright-yellow Tour de France arrows attached to a telephone pole were telling to veer sharp right. He rode straight into them. Roadside spectators on the hair- pin bend both froze and scattered as the burly Welshman barrelled toward them. Braking frantically, one shoe un- clipped from his pedals, the right-hand man for race leader tried to shave off speed. No joy. A spectator’s folded plastic chair flew as the racer for Team Sky ca- reened into the pole, shoulder and helmeted-head first. Thomas bounced off it like a tossed rag doll and dis- appeared over a drop-off into a dark thicket of woods. “I was all tangled up in the bushes,” he said. “A nice Frenchman pulled me out.” At least he finished Stage 16 with his sense of humour intact. Asked if he still remembered his name, Thomas jokingly replied: “Chris Froome.” Had it really been race leader Froome, not Thomas, who crashed on the stage’s hair-raising final descent in the foothills of the Alps, their Team Sky bosses wouldn’t have seen the fun- ny side.

The two, a woman and a man and the drivers of the vehicles, were flown in separate STARS helicopters, one to Edmonton and one to Calgary. The crash occurred shortly before 5 p.m. on Sunday when the two pickup trucks collided near Bowden on Hwy 2A (587), west of Hwy 2. Early investigation by Olds RCMP showed that a westbound Ford F-150 collided with an eastbound Dodge Ram. The driver of the Ram tried to avoid the F-150 but it was struck in the westbound lane and ended up on its roof in the ditch. The Ram had four oc- cupants and the Ford had two. The other four people injured were a woman in serious but stable condi- tion taken by ground ambulance to the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary; and an adult in non-life-threatening condition but with significant injuries; an adult in stable, non-life-threatening condition but with significant injuries; and a man in stable, non-life-threat- ening condition with minor injuries.

But a winter storm this week was the first time he’d seen a ’roo in the snow. Shrapnel guesses about 30 of the “timid” and “watchful” creatures live on his 77-acre Colmar Es- tate vineyard in Orange, New South Wales. But before he peeked out his back window Thurs- day, he had never seen one of the kangaroos in the snow. “They just turned up and started to feed. The younger ones boxed with one another as if it was just another day.” A surprised Shrapnel snapped a photo, which his daughter shared on social media. Shrapnel, 62, and his wife Jan moved to Orange earlier this year from Sydney, which hasn’t seen snow since 1836. While the couple had prepared for their first win- ter, he says, “having it snow three times in a week is not what we expected.” The winter storm caused traffic accidents, school closures and power outages around the state on Aus- tralia’s southeastern coast.
