Some Sundays provide hardly any sports distraction. Some Sundays, like today, there is a truesmorgasbord of Sports, top notch sports, on the agenda. If you are interested in pro Hockey, the NHL All Star weekendin the USA and Canada was contested yesterday. There is still much coverage ongoing across your televisionsnetworks. In the USA, the National Football League pro Bowl takes placethis afternoon in Miami. The Pro Bowl issometimes treated as an afterthought, but actually has an almost 100 yearhistory. Star players from the top NFLteams will play for the honor and the glory of their respectiveconferences. The Chiefs and the 49ersplayers are, of course excused from the action, as they are preparing for next week's Super Bowl. Many fans forgo the Pro Bowl, but manyplayers actually relish the opportunity to play, as the younger players get toplay alongside their idols who are still in the league. In Australia, the Tour Down Under came to a thrillingconclusion, with the last stage being a medium Mountain stage. As expected, Richie Porte, who is an allaround cyclist, snatched the top crown in the final stage from Daryl Impey,riding for Mitchelton Scott, who had been at the head of the GC standings, butslid into 6th place at the final. Portewas riding for Trek Segafredo. Italian Diego Ulissi, riding for UAE Emirate,came in second with the same time as four other riders. American Joey Rosskopf, riding fo the PolishCCC team, finished first in the King of the Mountains competition. Of greatest interest, in Australia, is the ongoing AustralianOpen.

The tournament is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis eventsheld each year, preceding the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.

Not to be left without mention is the US Nationals of FigureSkating, finals taking place, also, today... Don't forget the Derby in Rome today, as top Serie Acontenders Roma and Lazio tear up the pitch, and their fans the city, in one oftheir meetings.
