WHISTLER, British Columbia — Lindsey Vonn went through a rigorous slalom training session Sunday, passing the toughest test yet for her bruised right shin.

As a result, her husband said in a telephone interview, the two-time overall World Cup champion is no longer worrying about whether she will be able to compete at the Vancouver Olympics, but rather thinking about how best to prepare for pursuing medals.

"She definitely wants to get out there and get going," said Thomas Vonn, who serves as a coach and chief adviser to his wife. "Her focus has definitely changed from, 'Am I going to race?' to 'I'm definitely racing."'

Ryan Miller's got his old number back in preparing to make his Olympic debut.

The U.S. men's hockey team goaltender will be wearing No. 39, the same one he wore while setting numerous college records at Michigan State.

It's a number Miller knew he would have to give up after being selected in the fifth round of the 1999 NHL draft by the Buffalo Sabres. No. 39 was the number former Sabres star goalie Dominik Hasek wore.
