" Jennifer Abel of Laval and Pamela Ware

WINDSOR, Ont. -- Meaghan Benfeito of Montreal and Roseline Filion of Laval, Que., earned their first gold medal on the FINA World Series diving circuit Friday in womens 10-metre tower. Benfeito and Filion, the Olympic bronze medallists and currently ranked second in the world, totalled 330.75 points. Sarah Barrow and Tonia Couch of Britain followed for silver at 311.10 and Emily Boyd and Lara Tarvit of Australia were third at 308.58. "Its really incredible to win an international gold medal at home," said Benfeito. "Its something we dont experience very often. Everything we worked on in practice showed in our performance today. Its very motivating for our big events coming up this summer. We know what we need to improve and we are going to focus on that." Xiaohui Huang and Jie Lian of China withdrew after their first dive due to an injury. "They are a team that generally scores in the 330 point area so we are pleased to be around that score as well," said Benfeito. "It shows we are closing in on the Chinese." Jennifer Abel of Laval and Pamela Ware of Beloeil, Que., meanwhile came within 0.15 points of a powerful Chinese pair in a thrilling three-metre synchro final for the silver. It went down to the final dive. Han Wang and He Zi of China took the gold at 326.40, Abel and Ware followed with a personal best 326.25 and Tania Cagnotto and Francesca Dallape of Italy were third at 308.10. "Every dive went very well and we feel great to get a points record," said Ware in her second-year diving with Abel, an Olympic medallist in 2012. "Weve never been this close to a top Chinese team before." Zi won the Olympic gold medal on three-metre synchro with Wu Minxia in 2012 and Wang was a double medallist at last years world championships. The Chinese led after the first three rounds but the Canadians pulled ahead in the fourth when they nailed their forward two and half, the most difficult on their list, for 8.5s and 9.0s to pull ahead and set up a dramatic finish. "I was glad to do that dive well when it counted," said Ware. "Its been very stable for Jen but I had been inconsistent in practice." Yue Lin and Yuan Cao of China won both the mens three-metre and 10-metre synchro events. No Canadians were entered. Competition continues through to Sunday at the Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre. It is the first time Canada hosts a World Series competition. Wholesale Shoes Suppliers .

Against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, Elias put the entire package together against one of the leagues strongest lineups.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Joe Maddon wont be returning to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays announced Friday that Maddon has exercised an opt-out in his contract, which was due to expire after next season. Owner Stuart Sternberg said in a statement: We tried diligently and aggressively to sign Joe to a third contract extension prior to his decision. As of yesterday afternoon, Joe enabled himself to explore opportunities throughout major league baseball. He will not be managing the Rays in 2015. Maddon has managed the Rays for nine seasons, compiling a 754-705 record. He led Tampa Bay to the playoffs four times, won two AL East titles and one World Series appearance. The decision comes less than two weeks after Tampa Bay lost executive vice-president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Friedman assembled the teams that Maddon guided in transforming the Rays from perennial losers into a club that had six consecutive winning seasons before finishing 77-85. In the last several days we worked with Joe to try to figure out a contract extension, Friedmans replacement, Matt Silverman, said during a conference call. We engaged and made many offers and it became clear from his responses that it was not an exercise that was going to lead to an outcome..dddddddddddd Silverman, who took over as head of baseball operations after serving as team president for a decade, said Maddons contract contained a clause that allowed to opt-out under certain conditions, including Friedman leaving the Rays. Friedmans departure on Oct. 14 led to immediate questions that when Maddons contract with the Rays expired after the 2015 season that Friedman might try to lure him to the Dodgers. As I said last week, Joe and I enjoyed a tremendous relationship working together in Tampa Bay and I wish him nothing but the best wherever his next stop will be, Friedman said in a statement. However, nothing has changed on our end. Don Mattingly will be our manager next season and hopefully for a long time to come. Silverman said he was surprised and disappointed by Maddons decision. A search for a new manager will begin immediately, but theres no timetable for naming a successor. I believe Joe wanted to be the manager of the Rays long term. That was my intention and Stus intention. We dove head-first into discussions, but it takes two parties to reach an agreement, Silverman said. Im very comfortable with the financial offers that we made Joe. They were very generous, Silverman added. He listened to those and chose to opt-out.
