Watch your favorite pros in action during Militias Sac-Town Gold Rush event, where the top skiers from around the globe battled for a shot at $55,000 in cash at Shortline Lake in Sacramento, CA, June 21-22. The invitation-only event focused on promoting and renewing the spirit of water skiing through athlete commitment and pride. Exact scores from Nate Smith, Natallia Berdnikava, Thomas Degasperi, Will Asher, Karina Nowlan, Freddy Krueger and more coming soon!
For 2011, Centurion Boats has launched itself headlong into the hard-core competitive ski market with the all-new Carbon Pro. It has tournament-specific features like an adjustable gun sight for lining up the course and an integrated backboard (that you will hopefully never need). Wear-resistant foam flooring makes the Carbon Pro a working skier’s dream. Aside from the functionality of Centurion’s newest ride, it’s packed with posh as well. Innovative chrome bow accents, a pin-tail transom and a sleek dash design help to visually soften the boat’s form-before-function theme.

By almost every measure, the Hawks were worse this season than in 2009-10.
Then, surprisingly, they had better postseason results than in the franchise’s previous 12 trips to the playoffs.
Because he puts more stock in the latter than the former, Hawks general manager Rick Sund said he doesn’t believe the team has peaked, even though it again fell short of advancing to the Eastern Conference finals.
“I’ve had that question every year, even the year I got here [2008]: ‘Can this core group get even better?’” Sund said Friday in his first interview since Chicago eliminated the Hawks from the East semifinals May 12.
“And they have, I think, in terms of what it’s ultimately about, the playoffs. I think we were p

For a decade, Dana Vollmer hung around, never quite emerging, never quite going away. She overcame a heart condition, shoulder tendinitis and back injury, but she could not surpass the very best athletes in her events. She earned a reputation as a reliable relay team member, but not a star, or even a star-in-the-making. She didn’t even qualify for the 2008 Olympic team.
Yet she became the first American to collect a gold medal at the swimming world championships here Monday, righting Team USA’s world by toppling a field in the 100-meter butterfly that included the world-record holder and defending world champion.
Vollmer, 23, quite literally rode a wave — actually, a bunch of ocean waves in a new training regimen — to her first major individual title. On a ni
