America's Cup, the oldest trophy in international sport, is being sailed this year.

Oh wait, I could talk about college baseball here, which actually does interest me. And maybe one or two others on the forum.

Just title it "Gamecocks are the best ever".

So lazy, you're welcome Cail.

North America cruised to a 37-23 victory over the World squad on the final day of the World Financial Group Continental Cup in Penticton, B.C.

North America went into the final skins session Sunday at the Ryder Cup-inspired curling tournament with a 26.8-18.5 advantage, a deficit that proved too big for World to overcome in the 60-point competition.

World edged North America 8-7 in the first session, but were blown out 10.5-4.5 in the second session on the strength of three straight wins by Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones, Edmonton's Kevin Martin and Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont.

North America's team, which also included Americans Heath McCormick and Allison Pottinger, Edmonton's Heather Nedohin, captain Kelley Law of Coquitlam, B.C., and coach Rick Lang of Thunder Bay, Ont., received $52,000 ($2,000 per member), as well as a $13,000 bonus for winning the most points from the final three skins games.

World's team, coached by Sweden's Peja Lindholm, captained by Scotland's David Hay and including Scotland's Tom Brewster, Eve Muirhead, Niklas Edin and Margaretha Sigfridsson, Norway's Thomas Ulsrud and Mirjam Ott of Switzerland, settled for the runner-up prize of $26,000, ($1,000 per member).

Both sides have won the tournament four times since the first event in 2002. Next year's event will be held in Las Vegas.

just caught the replay of Djokovic/Wawrinka, amazing match. the last rally was insane. been a fan of Stan for a while but just too much Djokovic

curious to see if Djokovic will be slowed down enough to lose to Berdych

Yeah it was really good, just like last year with Nadal. Luckily for joker that match was late in the tourney, so I was also thinking he may lose a step after it this year.

[Moss]

Djokovic is an absolute freak though so I wouldn't be that surprised if he won in straight sets

[Boyiee]

Isn't he approaching some kind of record too? I never miss Dj/Nadal or Dj/Fed matches. Even when they are early as hell, always worth watching. I'm one of the few people that actually like Roger though.

[Moss]

What kind of record?

I love Fed. Nadal is one of the few I don't really care for.

I looked it up cause I couldn't remember. All I heard was "record" and "joker", turns out it was this:

The first man in the Open era post 1968 to record a successive hat-trick of titles in Melbourne

3 straight Melbourne titles. Thought it was something else.

[Kang]

My boy Raonic lost to Federer again. One day he will beat him!

Dunno if anyone here is pro cycling fans but the season just started with the Tour Down Under. Andrei "The Gorilla" Greipel won the first stage and the intro race that isn't part of the Tour. This guy is a machine.
