U.S NEWS:-Promising U.S. skiers killed in avalanche

An avalanche in Austria claimed the lives of two promising young ski racers Monday, the U.S. Ski Team said.

Ronnie Berlack, 20, and Bryce Astle, 19, were among a group of six athletes skiing at an Austrian resort. The four others managed to ski out of the slide, the team said on its website.

"Ronnie and Bryce were both outstanding ski racers who were passionate about their sport," U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Tiger Shaw said in a statement.

Berlack, from Franconia, New Hampshire, had been named to the U.S. Ski Team's Development Team. Astle, from Sandy, Utah, had been invited to train with the development team.

SPORT NEWS:-Ronaldo won’t return to Manchester United -Di Maria

Manchester United are unlikely to succeed in any attempt to recapture Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, says Angel Di Maria. The Portugal international left Old Trafford for the Spanish giants in an £80 million deal in 2009 and has been incredibly successful at the Santiago Bernabeu. Sir Alex Ferguson’s former assistant, Mike Phelan, believes that Ronaldo “would listen” if United made him an offer to return but Di Maria suspects that his current success in Spain would eventually win out. “I don’t think he is coming back to Manchester,” the winger told Radio America of his former team-mate. “It’s hard to quit Real Madrid. “Maybe, but I think he’s having a great time and I don’t see that he wants to change.” Ronaldo is the favourite to retain the Ballon d’Or when Fifa hands out the prize for 2014 on January 12
