KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia -- The final womens World Cup giant slalom before the Sochi Olympics was called off Saturday because of rain and fog, following a day of heavy snowfall. A decision on whether to go ahead with a slalom scheduled for Sunday on the same Podkoren course will be made shortly before that race. Organizers first delayed the start of the GS by half an hour but conditions failed to improve. "The race line was quite good but we had a lot of loose snow on the outside," FIS race director Atle Skaardal said. "And then in connection with the freezing rain and the bad visibility, the complete situation was not acceptable." FIS says 200 course workers had been working all morning to clear over a meter of fresh snow, but rain and fog were limiting visibility for the racers on the softened course. "I am convinced it was the right decision," Skaardal said. "The organizing committee have done a tremendous job over the last days and hours to even bring us in the position this morning to consider to start a race because you saw how extreme everything was." Despite rain being forecast for the rest of the day, Skaardal judged the chances for Sundays slalom as "quite good." "Its a shorter event. We need only 550 metres length which is less than 50 per cent of the giant slalom," he said. "This makes it easier as we have more people to work on a smaller area." The 50th edition of the annual Zlata Lisica event was moved from another Slovenian resort, Maribor, because of a lack of snow there. The GS will likely be rescheduled after the Olympics, though the tight schedule doesnt leave FIS many options, according to Skaardal. Jessica Lindell-Vikarby leads the GS World Cup standings with 332 points, 120 clear of Swedish teammate Maria Pietilae-Holmner. Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein, Austrian pair Anna Fenninger and Kathrin Zettel, and American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin are all within 10 points of Pietilae-Holmner. Austria womens head coach Jurgen Kriechbaum said that "coaches were unanimous, the weather is just too bad." "The course is not good enough to stage a race with these conditions," Kriechbaum said. "The organizers wanted to stage the race at all costs but its useless under these circumstances."

Thats how the Ravens won when Ryan was their defensive co-ordinator from 2005-08, and that is precisely the formula Baltimore used to beat Ryans New York Jets on Sunday. Joe Flacco threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones, Justin Tucker kicked four field goals and the Ravens shut down the Jets sputtering offence in a 19-3 victory. The defending Super Bowl champion Ravens (5-6) had lost four of five before bouncing back to beat New York (5-6) and keep their playoff hopes alive. Jones had four catches for 103 yards and returned five punts for 108 yards. But Baltimore won on the strength of its defence. The unit forced three turnovers, limited the Jets to 220 yards and denied 11 of 12 third-down tries. Rookie Geno Smith completed nine of 22 passes for 127 yards and two interceptions, both by Corey Graham. "What can you say about our defence?" coach John Harbaugh said. "It was a dominant defensive performance." It was the fewest points allowed by Baltimore since December 2009, a 48-3 win over Detroit. "I feel like we were dialed in today," linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "Theres always a little something added when were playing Rex. Were proud of the fact what we didnt give up a touchdown, and getting off the field on third down was huge." New York had alternated wins and losses in its first 10 games, but the pattern ended here with its second straight defeat. Ryan, who also served as defensive line coach with Baltimore from 1999-2004, fell to 0-3 against his former team. "We knew, quite honestly, that their defence was going to be tough sledding," Ryan said. "With that, weve got to be more efficient on third down. Thats a big reason (for) the struggles. I thought we dropped too many balls, and thats where it started offensively. On defence, when youre playing in a game like that, you got to be sound, you got to be good and it has to be for 60 minutes. "Theres probably three or four plays that we werent in." The Ravens tried several ploys to spice up their stagnant offence, most notably using backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor in a variety of formations. Not only did Taylor receive a direct snap and run, but he also handed off the ball and caught a pass in his most extensive action of the season. None of it produced a touchdown, though, until Jones got behind former teammate Ed Reed and made a fine catch of Flaaccos deep throw before coasting into the end zone for a 19-3 lead with 5 seconds left in the third quarter.dddddddddddd That was more than enough to dispose of the Jets, whose offence was so out of sync that they burned their third timeout of the second half with 14:53 left in the fourth quarter. Over his last six games, Smith has thrown 10 interceptions and one touchdown pass. "This is not on one individual," Ryan said. "This is on us, collectively." Obviously, thats the message Ryan conveyed to his players. "We got to back him up," offensive tackle Willie Colon said of Smith. "We didnt do that today." But Smiths numbers have created conjecture that Ryan might be close to changing quarterbacks. "Everybody always wants a new quarterback in there," Smith said. "I just keep trying to improve and work on myself. I know I can lead this team to the playoffs." Tucker kicked a 53-yard field goal for a 12-3 lead early in the third quarter after a 20-yard punt return by Jones gave Baltimore the ball at the New York 33. Graham subsequently ended two New York drives with interceptions in the third and fourth quarters. "They made some plays," Graham said, "but when it came down to it, we made the bigger plays. We knew we had to outplay their defence, and thats what we were able to do." Baltimores previous seven games were decided by six points or fewer, four of which resulted in losses. This was the Ravens most lopsided win since Sept. 22. "Its just a relief to get a win," linebacker Daryl Smith said. The Jets trailed 9-3 at halftime despite completing only three passes, gaining 73 yards, making three first downs and losing the ball after the snap hit the man in motion. Using Josh Cribbs in the wildcat formation on several plays, New York went up 3-0 with a drive in which Smith caught an 18-yard pass from Cribbs and completed an 18-yarder to Greg Salas. The Ravens answered with field goals on their next two possessions. The second kick was set up by a 60-yard completion from Flacco to Torrey Smith, who got behind Antonio Cromartie and made a nice over-the-shoulder grab. Tucker kicked another field goal just after the two-minute warning after tight end Ed Dickson caught two passes for 40 yards.
