TOKYO -- Two-time world champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the United States won the ice dance event at the NHK Trophy on Sunday. Davis and White, who
had a comfortable nine-point lead after Saturdays short dance, finished with
186.65 points after the free dance, over 26 points ahead over Italys Anna
Cappellini and Luca Lanotte, who were second. Maia and Alex Shibutani of the
United States were third with 157.58 points. Davis and White, who also won Skate
America, turned in a strong performance of their "Scheherazade" free dance that
featured innovative lifts and intricate footwork. "Charlie and I were very
pleased with our skate today." Davis said. "Were feeling the growth since Skate
America. Weve been working very hard all season, including in between the two
competitions. We are really excited about the direction our free dance is
taking." With Sundays win, Davis and White secured a berth at the Dec. 5-8 Grand
Prix final in Fukuoka, Japan. The Americans have dominated the Grand Prix series
for the last five seasons, including a record four consecutive victories at the
GP final. "We put a lot of pressure on ourselves every year," White said. "With
this being an Olympic year we expect to win the gold medal and this was an
important step for us." The NHK Trophy is the fourth of six events in the
International Skating Unions Grand Prix series. The next event is the Trophee
Bompard in Paris Nov.15-17. The Baltimore Ravens looked to Canada on the final
day of the NFL draft. The Ravens selected Virginia defensive lineman Brent
Urban, a six-foot-seven, 295-pound native of Mississauga, Ont., in the fourth
round, No. 134 overall, Saturday. Then in the fifth round, Baltimore took
Winnipeg native John Urschel, an offensive lineman at Penn State, at No. 175
overall. A third Canadian, Notre Dame receiver T.J. Jones -- another Winnipeg
native -- was taken in the sixth round, No, 189 overall, by the Detroit Lions.
Defence was Baltimores emphasis early in the draft, taking Alabama linebacker
C.J. Mosley in the first round Thursday night before selecting Florida State
defensive lineman Timmy Jernigan in the second round Friday night. And on
Saturday, the Ravens opted for Florida State safety Terrence Brooks with their
first third-round pick before selecting Colorado State tight end Crockett
Gillmore with their second pick in the third. Ravens coach John Harbaugh was
surprised that Urban was still available in the fourth round. "Hes a guy when I
first watched him thought second round at the latest," Harbaugh told the NFL
Network. "Hes had a couple of injuries and things like that but you talk to this
young man and hes a great guy. "Hes a hard worker, big, strong. He fits our
defence. This guy is a guy who fits our scheme perfectly, a big, strong guy who
fell to us so we couldnt be more happy with him." NFL draft guru Mike Mayock
agreed. "Not only do I like the pick but he fits exactly what they do," he said.
"The five technique is probably his best position, a 3-4 defensive end in a 3-4
defence. "I think hes a big, strong kid. Hes stout. In addition to playing that
five technique, he could probably move inside also. So I like him and I think
theres some significant upside there." Urban, 23, started eight games at
defensive tackle with Virginia last year before suffering a severe high ankle
sprain but still led all NCAA Division 1 defensive linemen with nine pass
knockdowns. He was invited to the Senior Bowl but couldnt play in the game due
to injury. Not surprisingly, Urban has been compared to Houston Texans star
J.J. Watt, one of the NFLs top defensive lineman, and came into the draft
projected as a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme -- three defensive linemen, four
linebackers. Urban was selected in the second round of last years CFL draft by
the Hamilton Tiger-Cats but elected to return to school. This marks the second
straight year the Ticats have lost a highly touted defensive lineman to the NFL.
Hamilton took Calgary Dinos defensive lineman Linden Gaydosh first overall in
the 2013 CFL draft but the native of Peace River, Alta., signed wiith the
Carolina Panthers as a free agent and spent all of last season on injured
reserve after undergoing back surgery.dddddddddddd A converted hockey player --
he played AAA as a bantam in Mississauga -- Urban took up football his first
year of high school at Lorne Park Secondary School before deciding to
concentrate full-time on the sport. After high school, he attended Virginia and
redshirted as a freshman. He served as a backup defensive end for two seasons
before starting at tackle in 2012. Last season, Urban recorded 13 solo tackles,
11.5 tackles for loss and a sack. He was invited to this years Senior Bowl but
was limited to just two practices because of his right ankle sprain. The major
knock against Urban heading into the draft has been injuries. Urban underwent
surgery in February and didnt participate in the NFL combine, where the top
draft prospects undergo testing under the watchful eye of league coaches, GMs
and scouts. Urban expects to be ready to participate in training camp come July.
After being redshirted, Urban suffered a torn left ACL that limited him to just
three games in 2010. He appeared in all 13 games in 2011, recording 15 tackles
and 2.5 tackles for a loss but did undergo wrist surgery after the season. Urban
started all 12 games at defensive end in 12, registering 20 tackles, 2.5 tackles
for a loss and two sacks with a fumble return for a TD. The six-foot-three,
313-pound Urschel was born in Manitoba but played football at Canisuis High
School in Buffalo, N.Y. He was a team captain at Penn State and earned all-Big
10 honours his final two seasons there and was one of 15 offensive guards
invited to the 14 NFL combine but could also play centre as a pro. But he is
much more than just a football player. He earned a masters degree in math and
received the Campbell Trophy as U.S. college footballs top football scholar
athlete. The six-foot, 195-pound Jones had his most productive season at Notre
Dame in 2013 with 70 receptions for 1,108 yards and nine touchdowns. And he
heads to the NFL with a definite pro pedigree. Jones late father, Andre, was a
defensive end at Notre Dame who also played for the CFLs Winnipeg Blue Bombers
while his uncle, Philip Daniels, is a former former NFL defensive lineman who
played for Seattle, Chicago and Washington over 14 NFL seasons whos currently
Washingtons director of player development. Also, his godfather is former Notre
Dame flanker Raghib (Rocket) Ismail, who helped the Toronto Argonauts win the
Grey Cup in 1991. Jones was born in Winnipeg before moving to Georgia, where he
attended high school. As a true freshman in 2010, he started seven of 12 games
with Notre Dame and had 23 catches for 306 yards and three TDs. Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '
