OTTAWA– Today, the elite membership of the Canadian Olympic Team grew by two more nominees as the Shooting Federation of Canada nominated the two athletes who will represent Canada in the sport of shooting at the London 2012 Olympic Games. LaRon Landry Jersey . Cory Niefer and Dorothy Ludwig are both nominated to be part of the Canadian cohort heading to London just a few short weeks from now.“For me, shooting has been the laboratory that helps me figure out my life and it has benefitted me in so many ways,” said Cory Niefer. “I never imagined when I started that it would take me all the way to the Olympic Games and its such an honour to be included in this incredible team.”“I think the only person that would be more pleased than me would have been my dad,” said Dorothy Ludwig. “Shooting has always been a family sport for us and this nomination to the Canadian Olympic Team makes it all the more special. I cant wait to get to London and add the next chapter to the family legend.”Both Niefer and Ludwig are both first-time nominees to the Canadian Olympic Team but are no strangers to the Olympic journey. While Niefer spent the Beijing 2008 Games as a coach, Ludwig is continuing a family legacy as she follows in her fathers footsteps to the Olympic Games, proudly coached by her sister.“Were thrilled to add Cory and Dorothy to the growing list of amazing athletes who will be wearing the Maple Leaf in London this summer,” said Chef de Mission Mark Tewksbury. “I know that this is going to be one of the most amazing experiences of their lives and Im very proud of both of them.”“On behalf of the Shooting Federation of Canada, I would like to congratulate first time Olympic nominees Cory Niefer and Dorothy Ludwig on the achievements that earned them quota places in the shooting sports at the London 2012 Olympic Games,” said Asmir Arifovic, President of the Canadian Shooting Federation.”We are proud and excited to follow our dedicated athletes to the final stages of their Olympic voyage.”“All of our athletes have travelled different Olympic roads to reach their Games and these and our newest nominees have equally compelling stories to share,” said Marcel Aubut, President of the Canadian Olympic Committee. “Their skill and dedication are a welcome addition to the outstanding Canadians nominated to the Canadian Olympic Team.” Jeremy Kerley Jersey .

Tim Tebow Womens Jersey . We want to reward the best teams from Matchday 1, while also keeping in mind the teams that they are and what they should become.SAN FRANCISCO —Madison Bumgarner doesnt think momentum carries over from start to start, month to month. Still, if he keeps pitching this way its going to be quite a season for the young left-hander. Pablo Sandoval homered to back Bumgarners fourth straight victory, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Padres 4-1 on Sunday to deny San Diego its first series win of the season. Its hard to imagine now, but Bumgarner lost his first six starts of 2011— winning his first game May 19 and his fourth on June 26. “Its obvious we think a lot of Madison and what hes done since he got up here, and hes just going to get better and better,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “For a kid his age, its impressive to see how he throws the ball. Im not surprised to see what hes done the first month.” Joaquin Arias added a two-run triple in the sixth inning to turn a one-run lead into 4-1. The Giants wasted no time giving Bumgarner (4-1) a lead against Clayton Richard (1-3), a day after Anthony Bass retired the first 17 San Francisco batters before pitcher Tim Lincecum broke up the no-hit bid with an infield single with two outs in the sixth. Bumgarner struck out a season-best six in 7 2-3 innings for his team-leading fourth victory, and he has won four straight starts since losing his season debut at Arizona. He owns a 1.61 ERA during the winning streak. Bumgarner allowed six hits and walked one. “I feel good,” Bumgarner said. “Like Ive been saying, Im just trying to make pitches. Its been working. The more quality pitches I can throw limits the damage. I dont pay any attention to the previous (start).” Angel Pagan led off the first with a single, then Richard threw wildly past first on a pickoff attempt for a two-base error as the ball went to the visiting bullpen. Melky Cabrera followed with a sacrifice fly before Sandoval connected for his fourth home run after his season-opening 20-game hitting streak ended in Saturday nights 2-1 win. The Padres scored in the fifth on Chris Denorfias double that was misread in centre field by Pagan, who took a step in before having to backpedal for a ball that travelled further than he anticipated. That scored Jason Bartlett, who got aboard on a leadoff single. Bumgarner, who earlier this month received a $35.56 million, six-year contract that runs through 2017, struck out 13 San Diego batters in his last start against the Padres on Sept. 5, 2011. He had them guessing again this time. “Bumgarner threw a good game,” San Diego manager Buud Black said. Tim Tebow Jersey. “Look at the results. Once he got into the middle part of the game he used his slider, his breaking ball, for strikes.” The 22-year-old lefty—second-youngest on the team behind rookie catcher Hector Sanchez—has held opponents to two or fewer runs in his last nine starts at AT&T Park. Bumgarner also has won 13 of his last 18 decisions since July 14, 2011. “I have a hard time believing however old he is—22?” teammate Brett Pill said. Sergio Romo retired one batter in the eighth and Santiago Casilla allowed a two-out walk to Cameron Maybin in the ninth but finished for his fourth save in four chances. Pill singled and doubled off Richard, who lost his third straight start. He gave up four runs and eight hits in seven innings. “Everything were doing is close, but not quite there,” Richard said. When Buster Posey drew a walk in the sixth, it ended a stretch of 26 innings for the Padres, and 104 batters faced, without allowing a free pass since Wilson Ramos walked on Thursday. According to STATS LLC, it was the teams longest such streak since San Diego pitchers went 29 innings without a walk from May 12-15, 2007. Richard had allowed three or fewer earned runs in his previous seven starts against the Giants dating to April 19, 2010. Pagan extended his career-high hitting streak to 14 games in the first, then Sandoval sent an 0-1 pitch into the left-field bleachers two batters later. Pagan has the longest current hitting streak in the National League. Cabrera has reached base safely via a hit or walk in 21 of his first 22 games. San Diego has lost six series and split a four-gamer with the Phillies so far this season. NOTES: Posey made his fourth start at 1B, with Sanchez catching. ... Brandon Belt wasnt in the lineup after hitting a go-ahead, two-run double Saturday night, but Bochy said it was a decision based on the lefty starter. ... Orlando Hudson had the day off after going 0 for 4 on Saturday to have his 10-game hitting streak snapped—longest by a Padres player in 2012. Andy Parrino started at 2B in his place. ... Padres RHP Tim Stauffer, who began the season on the 15-day disabled list with a strained elbow, began a rehab assignment with Class-A Lake Elsinore and pitched 3 2-3 innings. He allowed six hits, two earned runs, struck out seven and didnt have a walk. Black said hell make another start in the minors. ... Richards final 2011 start came vs. San Francisco before he had season-ending left shoulder surgery. ’ ’ ’
