Finland and Switzerland turned heads at the women’s world hockey championship Tuesday, scoring upset victories to enhance their medal hopes.
Finland pulled out a 1-0 overtime win over the United States in Harbin, China, a game that preceded the Swiss’ 4-3 triumph over Sweden, the 2006 Olympic silver medallists.
The closest Finland had previously come to a win against the Americans was a 3-3 tie at the 1997 world championships.
Officials have four times been forced to extinguish the Olympic Torch flame to escape from anti-China protesters.
The finale to the ceremony was subsequently cancelled to avoid further trouble.
Aberdeen crashed out of the Scottish Cup at the penultimate hurdle to first division Queen of the South. Queens took the lead 4 times and Aberdeen responded the first 3 but ex-Don John Stewart scored what proved to be the winner in the last of a crazy 10 minutes at the start of the 2nd half which produced 5 goals.
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood opted to start with the same 11 that overcame Falkirk 2-1 in midweek that secured the Dons a top 6 finish in the league. Queen of the South started with 3 former Dons in their starting line-up - Jamie McQuilken, Neil MacFarlane and Steve Tosh.

As defending Stanley Cup champions, the Anaheim Ducks shouldn’t require bulletin board fodder or messages on the dressing-room blackboard for motivation.
A quick glance at Wednesday’s game summary showing four Dallas power-play goals in seven chances probably is enough to get Ducks players fired up for Game 2 of the Western Conference quarter-final on Saturday in Anaheim (7 p.m. PT).
Carlos Delfino had 24 points and Chris Bosh scored 21 plus nine rebounds as the host Toronto Raptors cruised to a 113-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Friday night.
The win officially eliminated the Nets from the post-season, one year after Jersey beat Toronto in the first round of the playoffs.
For the second straight night, the Oakland Athletics stunned the Toronto Blue Jays by staging a ninth-inning rally off closer Jeremy Accardo.
Accardo was shelled for four runs on one hit and one walk as the Athletics beat the Blue Jays 6-3 at the Rogers Centre on Wednesday night.
Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin didn’t disappoint in his NHL playoff debut, scoring the winning goal with 4:32 left in the third period to give his team a 5-4 comeback win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ovechkin, the league’s top scorer this season, also added an assist. Defenceman Mike Green scored twice in the third period to help the Capitals overturn a 4-2 Philadelphia lead, with David Steckel and Donald Brashear also scoring.
Scoring depth, which plagued the Vancouver Canucks for much of the season, hurt them most the last two weeks and is a big reason why they won’t compete for the Stanley Cup.
Marty Reasoner and Jarret Stoll scored second-period goals and Dwayne Roloson stopped 37 shots to help Edmonton end the Canucks’ run for a playoff spot with a 2-1 win Thursday night.
The Chicago White Sox have 13 games remaining against Detroit this season, and you can bet Gavin Floyd would like to start the bulk of them.
Floyd flirted with a no-hitter through 7 1/3 innings Saturday afternoon and settled for a one-hit gem in his team’s 7-0 blanking of the visiting Tigers.
