MOSCOW -- Vladislav Tretiak has won a contest between two Russian ice hockey greats to be re-elected as president of the national federation. Soviet-era goaltender Tretiak, who is close to the countrys influential Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, defeated Viacheslav Fetisov by 125 votes to 11 at the federation conference on Wednesday. Tretiak wins a third consecutive four-year term in a position he has held since 2006, despite the federation coming in for criticism after Russias defeat in the quarterfinals of the Sochi Olympics. He is a longtime proponent of allowing fewer foreign players at Russian clubs so that local prospects get more ice time. Fetisov, a multiple Olympic, world, and Stanley Cup champion defenceman, has accused Tretiak of allowing Russias youth hockey development to wither, and backed a more liberal approach to foreign players to help clubs compete internationally.

And though his comeback night didnt quite go to script, Bryant couldnt help reflecting on the work necessary to get back on that court -- and all the months of steady labour ahead to reclaim his game.

Jeter doubled high off the left-field wall and scored on Jacoby Ellsburys first hit in pinstripes in the fifth. Hiroki Kuroda (1-1) pitched 6 1-3 sharp innings in the Yankees 112th opener in New York. In what manager Joe Girardi said would be a season-long lovefest for Jeter, the shortstop was cheered every step of the way by an adoring crowd of 48, 142 -- even when his double-play grounder back to Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) scored Solarte in the third inning for the first run.Gary Neville has revealed he will turn his back on coaching for at least the next five years while expressing his regret at not being able to continue his work with England. The former Manchester United right-back endured a difficult four months after taking his first managerial post at Valencia last season, before then resuming his role as assistant manager to Roy Hodgson with the national side at Euro 2016. That disappointing campaign, which ended in defeat to lowly Iceland, saw Hodgson and Neville leave their roles and Neville has since returned to Sky Sports to resume his punditry on Monday Night Football while he is also joint-owner of Vanarama National League North side Salford City. Neville and Roy Hodgson left their England posts after Euro 2016 Ive committed now. I put two or three things on hold while I was in Valencia and in the summer, he told the Mail on Sunday.And obviously, after the summer I was, Right, these projects go and we go with them now. And theyre going. And Im too integrated into them and at the forefront to go and do something else. On a potential return to coaching, he added: You can never say never but I think it is unlikely youll see me step back into a coaching role, certainly in the next five years. So the reality is that I probably am consigning myself to no coaching position, unless in five years I wake up and say, Actually, Id like to do something locally and something happens. Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher preview Monday Night Footballs Liverpool v Manchester United game.dddddddddddd But, honestly, at this moment I cant see it at all. Im far more passionate about those things Im doing and Salford City than I am about coaching.Despite Englands miserable failing in France during the summer, Neville insists they were going in the right direction under Hodgson - though he accepts their position was untenable after the Iceland defeat.Absolutely - and unless you dont qualify, youre only ever be judged on a tournament, he added. Neville has since returned to Sky Sports And the sadness for me watching in the last couple of months and since the tournament is that it definitely was the right direction. But when you lose a game like Iceland, you lose the right to have a say any more.The reality, what people will work out in time, is that the direction of travel was correct, the identification of the right players was correct, the system and the style of players was correct but not always the end result.You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.
