I QUICK HITS France's Renaud Lavillenie jumps to clear 6.16 meters, a world record, at the "Pole Vault Stars" event at Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, Saturday. LAVILLENIE BREAKS INDOOR POLE VAULT RECORD Pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie broke one of athletics' oldest records when he cleared 6.16 me- ters to beat Sergei Bubka's 21-year-old indoor record with Bubka cheering from the stands in Donetsk, Ukraine on Saturday. Lavillenie cleared the bar comfortably in Bubka's home city, almost to the day the pole vault great achieved 6.15 on Feb 21, 1993. Lavillenie, the reigning Olympic champion, looked wild-eyed and pumped his arms in delight as he realized he'd set a record, and was congratulated by Bubka, who had stood to applaud. "I think it's going to take me some time to come back to earth because it's incredible," Lavillenie said on French news channel BFM TV. "This is a world record that is so mythical, and to clear it on the first jump, without touching (the bar) there's nothing to say. It's just a moment to savor." ... Genzebe Dibaba produced her third record performance of the month, with the Ethiopian racing the fastest two miles at the Birmingham Grand Prix in England. Dibaba eased over the line in 9 minutes, 0.48 seconds indoors in central England, more than 20 seconds ahead of her rivals to break compatriot Meseret Defar's world-best mark from 2009 by almost six seconds.

USA forward T.J. Oshie is congratulated by forward Ryan Callahan after scoring the winning goal in a shootout against Russia during overtime of a men's ice hockey game at the 2014 Winter Olympics on Saturday in Sochi, Russia. The USA won 3-2. RUSSIA FROM PAGE 1 Ice Dome crowd including Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I aged a couple of years in that shootout," Bylsma said. "We had other guys that are capable, but T.J. was the guy who was going well. It seemed like he was going to score every time he went." Oshie's final shot was a beauty: He threaded a forehand right through Bobrovsky's pads, the puck punching the back of the Russian net emphati- cally enough to pop the water bottle on top into the air. "At some point, you think, 'Does he have any more moves left?'" U.S. captain Zach Parise said. "But he did a good job. ... That's hard to do, to get in a goalie's head and throw him off a little bit." Oshie was among the final selections for the U.S. roster, and though the 27-year-old fromWarroad, Minn., has never had a 20-goal NHL season, he leads American-born players with seven shootout goals this season. The U.S. men are only interested in the one that all but wrapped up an automatic berth in the quarterfinals next week. "I think you're going to see T.J. Oshie become a household name after that display he put on," said David Backes, Oshie's teammate in St. Louis. "The kids will be out on the pond probably in Minnesota right now, throwing a 5-hole on the goalie three or four times in a row." Cam Fowler and Joe Pavelski scored in regulation for the Americans in the marquee game of the preliminary round. Jonathan Quick made 29 saves and stopped five attempts in the shootout as the U.S. improved to 2-0. Captain Pavel Datsyuk scored two goals in regulation and another in the shootout for the Russians, who rallied from a third-period deficit in a fast- paced game. Russia also had an appar- ent goal waved off with 4:40 left because Quick's net came off its moorings. "The U.S. team is a good team and a good test for us," Datsyuk said. "We played good, but the result is not good." The shootout finish was entertaining, but the entire game was international hockey at its most compelling and the third period was a thriller. Pavelski scored the tiebreaking goal for the Americans on a power play with 10:33 to play, but Datsyuk tied it with 7:16 left during a Russian power play, spurring Putin out of his seat to cheer. After review, the officials waved off Fedor Tyutin's apparent go-ahead goal because the net was loose, incensing the crowd. Russian coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov and Alex Ovechkin both felt Quick had intentionally dislodged his net earlier in the sequence. "I don't know what happened there, but definitely was a goal," Ovechkin said. "Nobody touched the net. Their goalie touched the net and put it out. But the referee has to see it and at least give him two minutes, you know?" Quick claimed he didn't even realize the net had come unmoored. "You need to catch some breaks to win games," he said.
