BOWLING
Mohr gets Team USA nod
Eagle River's Ron Mohr, a two-time Player of the Year in Senior PBA bowling, is among four men and four women named to Team USA for the inaugural World Tenpin Bowling Association World Senior Championships in August.
The competition is set for Aug. 10-16 in Las Vegas.
Mohr, 56, has won eight events on the senior tour, now known as PBA50.
Mohr has represented his country several times, and won gold, silver and bronze medals in 1989 at the American Zone Championships.
CURLING
U.S. women split
The Team USA rink that includes Jessica Schultz of Anchorage split two games Wednesday, which makes its path to the playoffs difficult at the Women's World Curling Championships in Riga, Latvia.
The Americans (5-4) won their early match, topping winless Latvia (0-8), 9-2. But they fell 9-5 to China later. That leaves Team USA with a 5-4 record that places them in a tie for fifth place among 12 teams.
The top four finishers in round-robin play advance to the playoffs. The Americans finish round-robin with two games Thursday against teams that rank above them -- Scotland (8-1), which is tied for first place, and Russia (6-3), which is tied for third place.
