BEAVER CREEK, Colo. - Liechtenstein skier Tina Weirather cant shake the Sochi Olympics. The occasional ache in her right leg serves as a reminder.She crashed in a downhill training run last February and badly banged her shin, an injury that still lingers.I have days where I can 100 per cent attack and go to my limit, where I feel confident and strong. But I have days where it doesnt work, said Weirather, who will compete in the super-G, downhill and giant slalom at the world championships that begin Tuesday with the womens super-G race. Im working on it, having more of the good days.If I can figure that out, I can be really good.Because when healthy, Weirather is as fast as anyone. The difficult part has been staying healthy.The 25-year-old has torn the ACL in her right knee three times. In Sochi, she was among the favourites until her crash.Ive had a lot of disappointments to deal with, said Weirather, whose best finish at worlds was 13th in the downhill two years ago in Austria. I cant say that my confidence is super, super high, but I think everything is possible. The skiing is there.No question about that. She has finished third in two races this season, including a super-G in Italy two weeks ago.Ski racing is all she has wanted to do since she was 3 years old — all she ever answered when anyone asked.Not surprising, really, considering skiing runs in the family. Her mother, Hanni Wenzel, was a two-time gold medallist at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. Her father, Harti Weirather, won the downhill at the 1982 world championships as he represented Austria.This has always been my dream. Thats never changed, she said. Then, after so many injuries, of course I had to think about it.Sometimes, Weirather cant help but wonder just how good she wouldve been at her other favourite sport — tennis. She does have a mean backhand. And her serve-and-volley game isnt bad, either.Weirather said she used to train with the mother of Swiss standout Martina Hingis — the same Martina Hingis who won an Australian Open mixed doubles title Sunday — and that Weirather once was told she had what it took to be a top-flight player.She really believed in me, recounted Weirather, who also cross trains by biking, wind surfing and hopes to one day take up paragliding. But in tennis, you always have to fight against someone.Thats why I love skiing, where its just you and the mountain and when you finish, you see your time.NOTES: U.S. Alpine director Patrick Riml called Bode Millers progress from back surgery unbelievable. But his availability for the races this week still remains uncertain. Miller, who had a herniated disk fixed in November, squeezed in some super-G training Sunday in nearby Vail. ... American Julia Mancuso said shes recently been bothered by a sore hip. Not enough to keep her out of worlds, of course, but enough to affect her skiing. Shes been working with her physiotherapist and was back on the slopes Sunday for giant slalom training. Its a lot better, she said. Everything is feeling good.

Steve has built a solid reputation throughout the years - first as a hockey player, then as an NHL general manager and now as a scout.AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas will offer its head coaching job to Louisvilles Charlie Strong and he is expected to accept, a person familiar with the search told The Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the process was being kept confidential and had not been completed. Texas has been looking to replace Mack Brown, who stepped down in December after 16 seasons with the Longhorns. Strong is in his fourth year at Louisville and coming off his second straight double-digit victory season. He took over a program coming off three straight non-winning seasons and has gone 37-15. The 53-year-old Strong was a longtime defensive co-ordinator in the Southeastern Conference before getting a chance to be head coach. He took Louisville to the BCS last season and finished 12-1 this year with start quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. New Texas athletic director Steve Patterson, hired in November to replace longtime AD DeLoss Dodds, interviewed Strong this week. Details of a contract offer to Strong were not immediately available. Browns contract paid him more than $5 million per season. Earlier Friday, two other coaches Texas reportedly had interest in -- Baylors Art Briles and UCLAs Jim Mora -- said publicly they were staying in their current jobs. Brown stepped down after four straight seasons that failed to live up to expectations, including this seasons 8-5 record.dddddddddddd Strong had two stints as an assistant at Florida, first under Steve Spurrier and then as defensive co-ordinator for Urban Meyers two national championship teams. In 2010, Louisville hired him to take over the program and he quickly righted the Cardinals, who are moving into the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. Strong would be Texas first black head football coach and he inherits a program aching to return to its place among the nations elite programs. Browns Longhorns won the 2005 season national championship and returned to the national championship game after the 2009 season. But the Longhorns fell to 5-7 in 2010 and have lost at least four games each of the last three seasons. That dropoff, including an 18-17 mark in the Big 12 over the last four seasons, frustrated Texas fans, who demand much more from the wealthiest athletic program in the country that sits in the middle of the most fertile high school recruiting grounds in the country. Texas also has its Longhorn Network partnership with the ESPN, a 24-hour channel dedicated to Texas athletics, a deal that pays the school at least $300 million over 20 years.
