CALGARY - Christine Nesbitt hasnt laced up her speed skates since the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and isnt sure when she will again. cheap nfl jerseys .The former Olympic champion in the 1,000 metres isnt retiring, but shes delayed the start of her season. Nesbitt might not race at all this winter.The 29-year-old from London, Ont., is rehabilitating her left leg which essentially gave out on her in the months leading up to the Winter Games in February.Nesbitt captured Olympic gold in the 1,000 metres in 2010 and set a world record in the distance two years later. Shes won the 1,000 at the world single-distance championship three times.A consistent podium finisher in World Cups, Nesbitts performance suddenly went sideways in the months leading into Sochi where she finished ninth in the 1,000.I have no idea when Ill be back skating, Nesbitt told The Canadian Press on Thursday. It could be this season. The plan is to come back, but it just depends on how my body heals.Last year, I pushed myself far beyond what I should have, but it was an Olympic season. I still view it this way. I had no option. I couldnt take the year off.She believes the years of skating counter clockwise around ovals and leaning into her left leg simply took their toll at the worst possible time.Were still not really able to pinpoint what it was, Nesbitt said. We do think it was an overuse injury, so many years of being in that skating position and pushing my body really hard.When you lose strength and co-ordination in that leg, when youre turning left, you have so much more pressure on it than you do on your right leg in a crossover. Thats why I was losing my balance in races.I just wore out some parts of my body and they just were never given enough time to regenerate and heal and for the complementary muscles and tendons to get stronger and support the speedskating muscles.The 11-member Canadian long-track team announced Thursday by Speedskating Canada was smaller in number than in previous years, although 20 athletes were named to the national development team.After producing a combined 13 medals in the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics, Canadas long-track team won two in Sochi. Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, B.C., won silver in the 1,000 and bronze in the 1,500.Nesbitt was among four women named to the team alongside Ottawas Ivanie Blondin, Reginas Kali Christ and Calgarys Kaylin Irvine.Morrison, Calgarys Gilmore Junio, Winnipegs Tyler Derraugh, Laurent Dubreuil of Levis-Saint-Etienne-de-Lauzon, Que., Reginas William Dutton, Jamie Gregg of Edmonton and Alexandre St-Jean of Quebec City make up the mens squad.Two-time Olympian Anastasia Bucsis of Calgary is taking the year off. Winnipegs Cindy Klassen, winner of five medals in 2006, did not compete last season because of concussion symptoms and will also not race this winter.Trials for Canadas World Cup teams will be Oct. 23-26 in at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, which is also the site of the 2015 world all-around championships March 7-8.Nesbitt says its possible she could be back racing in December. Shes prepared to hang up her skates for the winter if thats what it takes to return to racing and be ready for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeonchang, South Korea.This is the least important year in a four-year cycle, so I need to make sure I can get my body healthy so I have three excellent years of training leading up to the following Olympics, and being healthy for those Olympics, she said.Nesbitt stayed away from speedskating training over the summer. To strengthen parts of her body, Nesbitt spent the summer rowing, swimming and doing sports that I either really suck at or I havent really done in a long time.Im a terrible swimmer, she continued. I sink like a rock and Im scared of putting my face in the water. Im just thrashing around, but its a good challenge mentally as well as physically.Speedskating is a really imbalanced sport. Were bottom-heavy and we only turn left. We have a huge amount of asymmetry. A huge part of getting healthy is re-balancing, getting more upper-body strength, getting more symmetry from my left side to my ride side and doing sports that open up my chest instead of crouch me over.Nesbitt is studying geography at the University of Calgary and meets regularly with her medical and sport science team for treatment and assessment.The last six weeks Ive seen a huge improvement in my body, Nesbitt said. Thats exciting, but Ive had moments this summer when Ive felt really good and pushed it for a week and it has set me back.Ive had to learn to be patient with my body, which is not something Im usually very good with. nfl jerseys china .

Swansea capitalized on the 80th-minute sending-off of substitute Fabio Da Silva by scoring in the last minute through Wilfried Bony in a 2-1 win at United, the latest setback for David Moyes in his turbulent first season with the English champions. United has lost four of its last six games at Old Trafford in all competitions and failed to reach the fourth round for only the second time in 30 years. "We had another big game in 48 hours time so we have to keep that in mind (but) no excuse," said Moyes, referring to the first leg of a League Cup semifinal against Sunderland on Tuesday. "We had a strong team out. Nearly every player out there was an international." Like United, West Ham used a lineup full of reserves ahead of its League Cup semifinal against Manchester City on Wednesday, and the gamble backfired. The injury-hit Premier League struggler was crushed 5-0 at second-tier Nottingham Forest in the third rounds biggest shock. "We had a huge amount of problems in terms of the available members of the squad so Ive got to keep them intact, thats a major priority," said West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, who was already under pressure with his team next to last in the league. "Many, many managers have changed the team in all divisions, but my changes had to be severe. I didnt want it to be but it had to be." Chelsea and Liverpool played stronger lineups -- and it showed. Second-half goals by John Obi Mikel and Oscar earned Chelsea a 2-0 victory at Derby, while Liverpool avenged last seasons surprise defeat to third-tier Oldham in this competition by winning 2-0 at Anfield thanks to Iago Aspas first goal for the club and an own goal by James Tarkowski. That game also saw Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers go up against his own son, Anton, who plays for Oldham and came on as a second-half substitute. "Ive seen Antons life from when he was a young footballer and to see him run out there was a bit surreal really," Rodgers said. Sunderland beat third-tier Carlisle 3-1 in the other thiird-round match featuring a Premier League team. cheap jerseys from china. The fear factor about visiting Old Trafford has disappeared since Alex Ferguson left United last summer and Swansea was the latest team to take advantage, recording its first win at the home of the champions. "Lets not kid ourselves, its a really bad result," United midfielder Darren Fletcher said. The Welsh side was helped by Moyes picking a shadow team that was missing injured strikers Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, as well as senior players Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Michael Carrick. And Wayne Routledge put Swansea ahead in the 12th minute, running onto Alejandro Pozuelos through ball and lobbing goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard. Javier Hernandez turned in Alexander Buttners cross four minutes later for the equalizer, and Moyes said he was disappointed not to see his team kick on from then. Fabio was given a straight red card for a studs-first lunge at Jose Canas, just four minutes after coming on as a substitute, and Bony made United pay by rising to head in Routledges left-wing cross to cap an impressive performance. "In my world, they are still a big team and for us to beat them, we still have to do a very good performance," Swansea manager Michael Laudrup said. Allardyce fielded an unrecognizable starting XI featuring a host of youth-team players at The City Ground and they collapsed in the second half. Djamel Abdouns goal gave Forest a 1-0 lead at halftime before Jamie Paterson scored a hat trick and Andy Reid completed the humiliation with the fifth in injury time. West Hams lineup further highlights the FA Cups increasing lack of appeal in the eyes of many top clubs nowadays but Allardyce made no apologies and knows there may be repercussions. "There might be, who knows?" Allardyce said. "Im not saying it wont happen unless I start to get results. I have got to get results, I know that." The depth of Chelseas squad shone through as Mikel headed home Willians free kick in the 66th minute for only his fourth goal for the club in 300 appearances, before Brazil playmaker Oscar struck a fierce shot in at the near post five minutes later. Chelsea will host Stoke in the fourth round while Liverpool must travel to Bournemouth or Burton.
