India won the Hockey Junior World Cup on Sunday, defeating Belgium 2-1 at Lucknows Major Dhyan Chand Stadium thanks to goals from Gurjant Singh (eighth minute) and Simranjeet Singh (22nd minute).India,?playing their third junior World Cup final,?thus became only the second team after Germany to win the junior title on more than one occasion, having defeated Argentina to win the tournament for the first time in 2001.The hosts dominated Belgium, playing their maiden final, in the first half, entering the opposition circle twice in the initial three minutes before they won a penalty corner with their next attack a minute later.Harmanpreet Singh fumbled on receiving the ball, however, perhaps showing a touch of early nerves.India won another penalty corner in the fifth minute with a quick counterattack but once again the chance was wasted. The hosts had struggled to convert penalty corners in the group stages and that trend appeared to be continuing.In the eighth minute, a long aerial ball forced Belgium goalkeeper Loic van Doren to come forward and save, but Gurjant Singh capitalised on the rebound, running wide and firing a ripper of a reverse-stick shot that easily beat a retreating van Doren to give India the lead.Soon after, Parvinder Singh did well to find Nilakanta Sharma, who had had an easy chance to double the lead with time and space at his disposal, but he shot wide. India had two shots and seven circle penetrations in the first 10 minutes alone.The hosts had another chance to score in the 16th minute when Harmanpreet fired a long slap towards goal but Parvinder lunged for it a fraction late and the ball rolled just wide of goal.In the 22nd minute, India exchanged a series of passes to make their way to the Belgium circle before Nilakanta wrong-footed the Belgian defence and Simranjeet Singh exploited the resultant gap, firing another reverse-stick shot from the edge of the circle to double Indias lead.Belgium, who had conceded just three goals prior to the final, attempted to counterattack in the closing stages of the half, winning a penalty corner in the 30th minute. The attempt, however, deflected off Belgium attacker Gregory Stockbroekx to go just wide. India went into the break up 2-0.Belgium had a more calm, controlled start to the second half but neither side was able to create a chance in the first 10 minutes.In the 48th, India had a great run from the centre but Simranjeet was sent tumbling to give the hosts another penalty corner. Van Doren dived to his right to save it and Nilakanta shot the rebound high as Indias penalty corner woes continued.Belgium, meanwhile, continued to try and attack but Indias defence and goalkeeper Vikas Dahiya stood firm.In the 60th minute, Gurjant broke free to make a run for goal but was denied by a charging van Doren. Subsequently, India earned another penalty corner, but it was saved once again.In the last four minutes, van Doren was removed from goal to supply another player going forward. The move earned Belgium a penalty corner, which they converted in the final minute but it was too little, too late in the end.

Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness. In any physically demanding profession, there comes a time in every career when your body tells you its time to walk away. In the world of pro wrestling, some performers choose to push past that point, but it becomes quickly evident in the ring when they are simply no longer the same performer.Even at 46, that point still seems?a long way off for Chris Jericho, who is doing some of the best work of his entire career in 2016 on Raw.Has he found the fountain of youth? Has the DDP Yoga he has lauded on countless occasions on his podcast really worked its magic? No matter how its happening, Jericho continues to supplement some of the best microphone skills in the entire company with equally great matches in the ring.And hes loving every minute of it.It might not be my favorite run of my career, but its my second favorite, for sure, Jericho told ESPN.com. It has been a blast, and it continues to be a blast.Some 17 years after making his WWE debut and more than 27 years after starting his wrestling career, most assumed that Jericho would be limited to short-term contracts and one-off runs while juggling passions as the lead singer of his rock band Fozzy. While thats still technically true in terms of the contracts, when things work out as well as they have, theres no reason to get in the way of a good thing.The original plan when I came back last January was to stay until Wrestlemania, because we had some Fozzy plans that we were working on,?Jericho said. Then we decided to push those back, so then I just kept signing for three months at a time, to where I think this is probably my third or fourth deal that Ive had since I came here in January.Im also smart enough to know that sometimes lightning strikes -- sometimes you catch lighting in a bottle in this business. So I just decided to stay as long as I possibly could. Rather than trying to look for reasons to end the run, I just kept looking for reasons to keep it going.Fozzy collectively decided the band would take the entirety of 2016 off, and the timing simply couldnt have been better for Jericho. Seemingly everything he has touched in wrestling in the past 11 months has turned to gold. From silly catchphrases and his pairing with best friend?Kevin Owens?to a clipboard, mustache, collection of scarves and an ever-growing list -- fans simply cant get enough.Jericho may not know why these things are suddenly so popular, but hes smart enough and experienced enough to ride the wave while its rising.As funny as it may sound, stupid idiot is such a huge pop right now, but when I first started saying it, everyone was booing it, Jericho said. Im the gift of Jericho, drink it in, man. Its just a total arrogant thing to say that got all of these boos. The List of Jericho started out as a bad thing and people would boo it. Here we are now in November, where all of those things have turned to cheers. [The list] is the most over thing in the damn company, it seems. You just never know what fans are going to get into.As for his ongoing lovefest with Owens, it also sprang forth from an organic moment that has now blossomed into something big for both of them.I remember we did something in England back in April, where we just had some kind of random tag match, Jericho said. After the match, I think he just ran and jumped into my arms or something, and I was just laughing, [thinking] this guy is exactly like I am.Vince McMahon saw that as well, and next thing you know, here we are six months later as best friends, probably the hottest angle in the company, or one of them at least.The passion and love he still holds for the wrestling business is crystal clear in his voice, and in what he does on-screen every week on Raw. But it goes much deeper than that, too. While there are a number of superstars currently on the roster who pick and choose events to appear on, Jericho has been steadfast in his commitment.When I come back, I come back full time, Jericho said. I come back to be as involved as I can be. I still enjoy working the Detroits, the New Yorks, the Chicagos and Las Vegases; those type of shows because its fun. Thats why I do this, because I still enjoy it and I have a lot of fun with it. If I didnt, I wouldnt be doing it.In a move thats polar opposite to other part-time performers, Jericho even went as far as declining to perform on Raw or SmackDown for most of 2015 in favor of doing select live events scheduled around his many other interests.More than anything else, Jericho still has an appreciation for what can be accomplished with some of the younger and more inexperienced talent in the live event environment, which can often function like a workshop, of sorts.I think in 2015, I worked 60 shows for the company, but didnt do one TV show, Jericho said. I like the freedom that you have on live events, the camaraderie, and also that its a place where you can learn, and a place where I can help the newer guys learn.dddddddddddd Because its where you get a chance to really see people [work] without having to worry about if youve got four minutes, or that youve got to finish by this time.Ive always enjoyed that aspect of wrestling as a whole -- if you dont do those type of shows, youre missing out on a whole 50 percent of what wrestling is really all about.That Jericho would continue to dedicate so much of his busy schedule to wrestling speaks to how much he still cares for the business. While Fozzy has taken something of a backseat this year, theres sure to be tour dates in 2017, including an already announced stop at the Download Festival in the UK in June.Then theres his podcast, Talk is Jericho, which recently celebrated its 300th episode less than three years after it launched in December 2013, and has proven to be anything but a typical wrestling show.?I would like to say that I had it all mapped out and that Im an absolute genius with everything I do, but thats not the case, Jericho said. I had done an interview show, a music show for Sirius Radio and it got cancelled, but I really enjoyed the interview aspect and the conversation aspect. The podcast kind of dropped in my lap a couple weeks later, and it was just the perfect forum for me.Jerichos podcast has featured some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment and beyond, making it consistently ranked within the top 25 sports and recreation podcasts in the world.?Im a journalist at heart. Im a curious person, Jericho said. I also know what its like to get asked the same questions over and over again, so I think thats why a lot of people enjoy doing my show.Because Jericho has control over who comes on his show, he has been able to book a variety of guests with the focus on feeling comfortable and knowing he can help the conversation go somewhere entertaining and informative.Look at a guy like Tony Iommi, whos on the 300th episode of Talk is Jericho, he said. Id never met him before in my life, but I dont need to know Tony Iommi to know anything about him because Ive been a Black Sabbath fan since I was 12 years old.Jericho has also made it a focus to ask out-of-the-box questions, especially when hes familiar with a guest. Just like in his wrestling career, when hes confident in something, hes willing to take the chance of looking like an idiot in order to make something different and entertaining -- for both the guest and the audience.Slash, for example, Ive known Slash for years, and I know that Slash is a huge fan of dinosaurs, Jericho said. Im like, when does he ever get a chance to talk about dinosaurs, so we talked about dinosaurs and horror movies for an hour, and had a blast. I think thats the way it should be, instead of Slash getting asked when hes going to get back with Guns N Roses for the thousandth time.As his podcast hits 300 episodes, Jericho has expanded his reach further with The Jericho Network, which includes a list of more wrestling-centric podcasts including Keepin it 100 with Konnan and Killing the Town with Lance Storm and Don Callis (a.k.a The Jackal and Cyrus the Virus).Its another case where things evolved in a natural way, and Jericho is simply reaping the benefits of his hard work. Hes constantly coming up with new ideas, or ways to improve upon the things hes already doing. By keeping his ears open he got the idea to occasionally bring his podcast on the road.I had Kevin Smith on my show, and he does a lot of live shows, live talk shows, Jericho said. He said, When you do them, make sure you record them, because you can always use them as podcasts.After a few previous successes in the live event realm, Jericho is taking advantage of a die-hard wrestling crowd being in Toronto for Survivor Series by holding a live episode of Talk is Jericho on Sunday morning at the John Bassett Theater. Theres also a VIP experience, presented by Mark Out Moments, that includes brunch with Jericho and his podcast guest -- his best friend Owens.Its fun, its different, Jericho said. Theres a little element of having a studio audience there, and it makes for a fun afternoon when you come and see Jericho and Owens. We dont know what were going to talk about -- well exchange some stories, have some fun and you get that instant gratification. Theres a Q&A afterwards, too, so people can kind of throw in their own two cents on what they like and dont like, and what they want to talk about. It just makes for a great interactive experience across the board. ' ' '
