SPORTS BRIEFING
FOOTBALL
Ducks RB Habibi-Likio seeking to transfer — Oregon’s
No. 3 running back has entered the transfer portal. Cyrus Habi-
bi-Likio, a redshirt-junior, announced he is leaving the program
on Saturday. Used mostly as a short-yardage back, Habibi-Likio
had just 19 carries for 36 yards and four touchdowns and five
catches for 66 yards this season and three tackles on special
teams coverage units. He had 85 carries for 337 yards and 10
touchdowns and nine catches for 32 yards in a breakout 2019 sea-
son after debuting with 18 carries for 36 yards and seven scores
in 2018. The Palo Alto, Calif., native will have two years of eligi-
bility remaining. Habibi-Likio’s departure leaves Oregon with
five scholarship running backs in 2021, led by C.J. Verdell and
Travis Dye. Sean Dollars, Trey Benson and Seven McGee will vie
for more time in a less crowded backfield.
day’s race at Crans-Montana also won by Goggia. Goggia’s team-
mate Elena Curtoni was third, 0.60 back, ending Breezy Johnson’s
streak of four third-place finishes in downhill. Johnson was fifth,
0.89 behind Goggia. American teammate Laurenne Ross, of Bend,
finished 37th. Three-time overall champion Mikaela Shiffrin is
skipping speed races this season and is sixth in the standings. She
should start Tuesday in a giant slalom at Kronplatz, Italy. A su-
per-G race is scheduled Sunday at Crans-Montana.
Men’s World Cup downhill postponed to Sunday — The

Dominant Goggia wins 4th straight downhill — Olympic
champion Sofia Goggia is dominating the World Cup downhill
season like no woman since ski great Lindsey Vonn. Goggia won
her fourth straight downhill on Saturday to tie a World Cup streak
by Vonn in 2018. They are the only women to achieve the feat in
the last 25 years. The Italian star finished 0.27 seconds faster than
Lara Gut-Behrami as both thrived on icy snow slicker than in Fri-

Signs that mark the chal-
lenging course will remain
up through Feb. 7 for the vir-
tual Boulder Mountain Tour
(bouldermountaintour.com).
The Boulder Mountain Tour
is an annual nordic ski race in
Ketchum, Idaho, held every
early February, that draws ski-
ers from across the Northwest.
The race was canceled due
to the pandemic this year, but
organizers of the event are en-
couraging nordic skiers from
all over the world to participate
virtually on a course of their
choosing from distances of
15K to 30K. The website offers
several suggestions throughout
the country, including the 30K
course for the Tour of Meiss-
ner and a 16K course at the Mt.
Bachelor Nordic Center.
“It’s a difficult course with a
lot of climbing, and the Boul-
der Tour is the same course,”
Smullin says of the 30K Tour
of Meissner course. “If you ski
the trails at Meissner, you can

Knicks Go wins Pegasus World Cup — Knicks Go went to the
lead right out of the gate and dared the other 11 runners in the $3
million Pegasus World Cup Invitational to catch him. Nobody
came close. Picking up by far the biggest purse of his career, and
doing so with ease, the heavily favored Knicks Go won the fifth
running of the Pegasus on Saturday — his fourth consecutive
victory, one that pushed his lifetime winnings to about $3 mil-
lion. Jesus’ Team was second and 25-1 long-shot Independence
Hall was third. Knicks Go finished the 1⅛ miles over the dirt at
Gulfstream Park in 1:47.89 and paid $4.60, $3.60 and $3. Jesus’
Team paid $8.60 and $4.80. Independence Hall paid $10 to show.

Jessica Korda makes big move at Tournament of Cham-
pions — Danielle Kang played great, tying her career low with
an 8-under 63 and protecting her lead Saturday in the Diamond
Resorts Tournament of Champions. Jessica Korda owned the day.
A sizzling 28 on the back nine — 9 under par — at Four Seasons
Golf and Sports Club Orlando lifted Korda to an 11-under 60, just
one shot off the LPGA Tour scoring mark. Kang was at 21-under
192 through three bogey-free rounds. Her total shattered the tour-
nament’s 54-hole record (200). She will take a two-shot lead over
Korda into Sunday. Nelly Korda (67) is six strokes back.
Homa joins Finau, Kim atop American Express leader-
board — Max Homa made nine birdies and shrugged off a dou-
ble bogey on the way to a 7-under 65 in the third round Saturday,
joining Tony Finau (67) and Si Woo Kim (67) atop the leaderboard
at 15-under 201. Richy Werenski also shot a 65 and moved within a
shot of the lead at PGA West near Palm Springs. Russell Knox shot
the day’s low round with a 64 — one stroke off the course record —
to join Brian Harman (67) and Emiliano Grillo (68) at 13 under.

“It’s a difficult course with a lot of climbing, and the Boulder
Tour is the same course. If you ski the trails at Meissner, you
can definitely ski it.”
— David Smullin, on the 30K Tour of Meissner course
definitely ski it. It’s just 30K
and it will take some people a
few hours. But if you can ski
all the normal trails at Meiss-
ner you’re definitely capable of
doing it.”
Smullin said a big contin-
gent of skiers from Bend make
the trip to Ketchum each
February to race the Boulder
Mountain Tour. He even takes
some some his high school
skiers from Redmond to race
there every year.
“Boulder is a big draw,” Smul-
lin said. “It’s a big event for us.
It gets (the high school skiers)
to see what the bigger ski world
is. Unfortunately we had a big
crew who wanted to go. But
we’re going to enter them all
in the virtual one and ski it to-
gether with the team on Feb. 6.”
Smullin said he renewed the
Tour of Meissner race last year
because he wanted to com-
pete in a long, classic race, and
none were offered in Central
Oregon. He does not plan to
race this Saturday because of a
recent knee replacement, but
he will be busy timing and of-
ficiating.
“The other reason I wanted
to put it on was because last
year was so successful, more
than we thought it would be,”
Smullin said. “I didn’t want it to
disappear again. Hopefully next
year we’ll come back and use
the same course, and actually
have awards and everything.”
