ASPEN, Colo. -- Canadas Kaya Turski had one final chance to test her surgically repaired knee in competition before the Sochi Olympics, and she won a gold medal while doing so. The Montreal native, who was competing just five months after having surgery on her anterior cruciate ligament, captured her fifth Winter X Games gold medal in womens ski slopestyle Sunday. "I just wanted to get out there and land a run that was clean and solid, get back into the groove of things," said the 25-year-old. "My knees feeling really good. Ive had a lot of great support, a physical therapist travelling with me, all my sponsors have been really involved. Everyone is making sure Im on the right program." Turski injured herself back in August while training and it was uncertain then if she would be ready in time for her sport to make its Olympic debut in February. But with determination, and a great support network, she says was able to return back to the slopes well ahead of schedule. "I wasnt listening too much to what other people were saying," said Turski. "The moment I blew (my knee) so many things were going through my head like, whats going to happen with the Olympics?... (But) I knew if I put in my everything I could get back to as strong as I was." Turski scored 91.33 on her second run to cruise to first place, but admitted she has more to give. "I think that I was rewarded for my flow on the course, just keeping it cool and looking smooth," said Turski. "I want to bring that to the Olympics. I didnt want to throw my hardest tricks on the course today because I didnt want to compromise my chances heading into the Olympics." American Maggie Voisin took silver with 90.00 points and Kim Lamarre of Quebec City earned bronze with a best score of 85.00. "I was thrilled to have Kim on the podium with me, shes one of my best friends," said Turski. "Shes one to watch, shes a really, really strong athlete. She can have a winning run." Dara Howell of Huntsville, Ont., finished fourth with a score of 84.00 while Yuki Tsubota of Whistler, B.C. was eighth at 75.33.

ITS FRAGILE: Mentioned this Tuesday night on the broadcast. What a difference six-to-eight months makes in the NBA. Look at Indy - from contender to a losing team with some injuries and free agents loss. Look at Miami, Brooklyn and Charlotte - all playoff teams a year ago. And the Heat in the NBA Finals and now scuffling for playoff qualification. Tough racket. Enjoy the wins and take advantage when things are good and build on it. It doesnt last long, despite what you hope sometimes. 2. JOHN HENSON (Bucks): His numbers are modest (6-and- 3), yet hes a guy that I like due to his ability to change ends quickly and provide you lane intimidation. Not sure if hell ever be a starter but I like the role hes in right now for Jason Kidds second unit. It works. 3. NICK CALATHES (Grizzlies): Big game last night in a significant win over the Mavs, with 13 points, five rebounds and two assists.dddddddddddd. Hes a really physical, strong and athletic defender. He fits their style to a T. Really gives them a lift off the bench. Really impresses me with his will to compete and skill. 4. JOAKIM NOAH (Bulls): Love this guy. A winner! Has had his share of physical issues this year but wow - when hes out there hes a joy to watch. Tuesday night in a dramatic OT win at Golden State, he gets 18-and-15 and also chips in six assists. There are better post players in the league but few impact the game on so many multiple fronts as this man. Some of it you can quantify and other areas just watch him and his game just grows on you. Theyre lucky to have him. 5. OMRI CASSPI (Kings): Speaking of energy, another guy who simply grinds it out each game,running the floor, making hustle plays and energizing your second unit is this veteran. Yes, hes bounced around the league but he always finds a home because he out-works you. Knows his limitations and wisely plays within them. Survives by force of his work ethic.
