Weve spent all week covering the numerous storylines leading up to the 101st Grey Cup, from Kent Austin and Andy Fantuz returning to Saskatchewan in Black and Gold to the Roughriders looking to become the third straight team to win the championship at home. Those storylines however, mean little come Sunday when all that remains are two teams battling for the Grey Cup on a very, very cold field at Mosaic Stadium. The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats finished the regular season just a game apart, with the Riders finishing second in the West with an 11-7 record and the Ticats second in the East at 10-8. From there each team took the long route to the Grey Cup, hosting and winning division Semi-Final matchups before pulling off upsets on the road in the Finals to book their Grey Cup tickets. The similarities dont end there, with each team led by electrifying running backs frequently featured on highlight reels and veteran quarterbacks with questions still left to answer. Both Darian Durant and Henry Burris carry reputations of QBs who fade when the lights shine brightest. Durant will be looking to finally put those questions to bed with his first Grey Cup win while Burris, who has previously won a Grey Cup as a starter, will be looking to cement his already stellar CFL legacy. The Roughriders were the team to beat in the first half of the regular season, winning eight of their first nine including their only two meetings with the Ticats, before running into some struggles in the second half. Conversely, Hamilton struggled early on until their defence found their stride down the regular season stretch and into the playoffs. The highs and lows are in the past now as each team heads into the Grey Cup at the top of their game. Saskatchewan will enjoy a decided home field advantage Sunday. Can it propel them to a win, keeping intact the streak of host teams winning the Grey Cup, or will the Ticats be partying like its 1999? Your! Call: Who will win the 101st Grey Cup on Sunday?

The man who has come the closest to ending Canadas Olympic medal drought in mens skiing effectively booked his ticket to Sochi, Russia, in February. The 32-year-old from Mont-Tremblant, Que., finished eighth in the season-opening World Cup downhill in Lake Louise, Alta. That qualifies him for his third Winter Games. "Its a good thing to get it out of the way," Guay said. Dominik Paris of Italy won Saturdays race with Klaus Kroell of Austria coming second and Adrien Theaux of France third. Guay finished 1.08 seconds back of Paris, whose World Cup victory was the third of his career but first in Lake Louise. "I pushed very hard at the top and the middle section was very bumpy, so it was difficult to ski very good," Paris said. "I tried to go fast and strike the line down. At the finish, I skied very good." The men race a super-G on Sunday before heading to Beaver Creek, Colo., and the second stop on the circuit this season. Canadas last Olympic medal in skiing was Edi Podivinskys downhill bronze in 1994. Guay was fifth in both the downhill and super-G at the 2010 Winter Olympics and was fourth in super-G in 2006. He was just .03 seconds away from the super-G podium in 2010. The 2011 world downhill champion has been a consistent medal producer for Canada. At 19 World Cup career medals, Guay is one away from tying the all-time record held by Steve Podborski. So the Olympic qualification criteria of a pair of top-12 results or one top-five finish wasnt onerous for Guay to achieve. He was one of four Canadian men racing at Lake Louise who were already halfway to qualifying. Each had a top-12 they could carry over from 2012-13. But Guay was short on preparation for Lake Louise. Knee surgery in July kept him off snow until earlier this month. He was fastest in the first training run for Lake Louise, but dropped to 26th in the last training sessionn.dddddddddddd "I think its an absolutely respectable start to the season," Guay said. "A month ago I didnt even know if I was going to be able to race here. "Winning the training run threw a wrench into things because it sets your standards a little bit higher, but all things considered Im very satisfied with the day." Canada can enter a maximum of four men in downhill and super-G in Sochi. Slalom specialist Marie-Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., is the only Canadian woman to have qualified for the Olympic ski team so far. Calgarys Jan Hudec, Vancouvers Manny Osborne-Paradis and Ben Thomsen of Whistler, B.C., were still looking for another top-12 to book their ticket to Sochi. Hudec was 22nd, Osborne-Paradis finished 28th and Thomsen placed 44th on Saturday. Snow flurries overnight meant the first few men down the hill -- Osborne-Paradis had the No. 4 start bib -- had to find speed in softer conditions. Visibility changed quickly from dim to bright and back to dim again for the first 30 men down the mountain. "I had good light," Kroell said. "In some places, it was in the sun. Its always the same in Lake Louise. Wednesday to Saturday, it always changes a little bit the light and the wind. "One time youre the lucky one and another youre not. Today, I think I was one of the lucky ones." Hudec, a downhill winner at Lake Louise in 2007, has undergone seven knee surgeries in his career and this is his first healthy start to a season in years. "Thats probably why Im frustrated because I feel a lot better now than I did last year," Hudec said. "I know I have what it takes to get in there. "Tomorrow its like a total regroup. Super-G is a different game, different race. Hopefully Ill have a better start number tomorrow and better weather and go for it." Conrad Pridy of Whistler was 32nd, Jeffrey Frisch of Mont-Tremblant, Que., placed 35th and Conrads brother Morgan finished 45th. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
