university residence at the Canada Summer Games on Tuesday after police were called to a domestic disturbance at a house across Antworten

LENNOXVILLE, Que. -- More than 40 athletes were evacuated from a university residence at the Canada Summer Games on Tuesday after police were called to a domestic disturbance at a house across the street. "According to the initial information obtained, an armed man was in a house on Winder Street," said Martin Carrier, spokesperson for the Sherbrooke Police. "Due to the proximity of residences housing Canada Games athletes, an evacuation order was called." Carrier said the 62-year-old suspect, who has no ties to the Canada Summer Games, gave himself up at around 2:45 p.m. ET and was taken to hospital. The suspect could face charges. "We supported the police and we want to be clear that at no time was any athlete in trouble or in danger," said Games CEO Luc Fournier. The residence houses athletes from several provincial and territorial delegations, participating in a variety of sports. "We have to reschedule a couple matches for some sports because during this process it was impossible for them to pick up their equipment," said Fournier. "Its not the fault of the athletes, so were going to reschedule some sports for today and some for tomorrow. "Everything will be fine by tomorrow." Fournier added that the residence was largely empty with most of the athletes either competing or practising. The incident happened near the campus of Bishops University, which is being used to house athletes during the Games. Rumours about the police incident quickly spread across the small campus, creating some confusion amongs the delegations and their athletes. "There was never any real threat to the village," said Michelle Healey, chef de mission of the Newfoundland and Labrador delegation. "I think sometimes social media and lack of information gets things out quickly, which is great sometimes, but not all the right information gets out. "We had some information going back to our province that created a little bit of pandemonium but we knew ... that all our athletes were safe and accounted for." -- With files from Robert LaflammeWholesale Air Max Plus .

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington.When Se Ri Pak was a 20-year-old LPGA rookie in 1998, rocketing to fame in her native South Korea by winning the LPGA Championship and U.S. Womens Open, she was the only player from that country on tour. This season, Paks last as a competitor, there were 34 Koreans on the increasingly international circuit. At the end of the 2016 LPGA season, eight of the top 15 players in the Rolex Rankings, and 23 of the top 50, were from South Korea. The No. 1 player in the world, Lydia Ko of New Zealand, is South Korean-born.Pak retires at age 39 with 25 LPGA victories, including five major titles, and a place in golf as one of its premier pioneers. Another South Korean, Ok-Hee Ku, was the first to play and win on the LPGA Tour, but her 1988 victory did not resonate back home like Paks major victories 18 years ago.Paks exciting 1998 Open triumph, in a playoff over amateur Jenny Chausiriporn at Blackwolf Run in Wisconsin, ignited a flurry of interest in the game among girls and their parents in South Korea. It didnt take long for female golfers from that nation, which has a population less than one-sixth of the United States, to become an important part of the LPGA. Forty South Koreans have won 152 of the 557 LPGA tournaments played since Paks victory at Blackwolf Run.Other Asian countries have followed South Koreas lead. Thirteen players from Thailand had LPGA cards in 2016, and one of them, Ariya Jutanugarn, was a breakout star, winning five times.Plagued by a left shoulder injury, Pak had two goodbye tournaments in 2016, at the U.S. Womens Open in July and the LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship in Incheon, South Korea, in October. There were tears and hugs and flowers at each, but mostly there were thanks -- for the memories and inspiration, for clearing a trail to a vista now enjoyed by many. For the many achievements over her career, we honor Pak with the 2016 espnW Lifetime Achievement Award.Those who knew her best on and around the golf course shared their thoughts with espnW about the impact Pak had on the game:I didnt come to the LPGA until 2010. I knew about Se Ri as a fan. When we were sitting in Korea at the HanaBank Championship in October, we were having a tribute to her. We were up on a podium. I looked out to 3,000 people, but the first hundred were young Korean tour players and their brothers and sisters and moms and dads. They were crying. I remember sitting there thinking, This is Michael Jordan of Korea. I guess I knew that as a fan, but it was amazing to see that. Chella Choi was sideways. In Gee Chun. Inbee Park. It was really a gripping moment. I told Se Ri later that all of us are trying to make a meaningful, lasting impact on the game and none of us know if were doing it. She has done that forever, and not just in womens golf. I think she changed golf in Korea. In Korea, they ask her about the impact she made in Korean golf, but she made an impact in Asian golf. Its really unbelievable, she just put it on the map. Its kind of like what they said was going to happen with the U.S. womens soccer team, with the big win. But it didnt have the same kind of instant impact that she had. And the lasting impact Se Ri has had is unbelievable.-- Mike Whan, LPGA commissionerSe Ri is a trailblazer from South Korea who became one of the most important players in the history of the LPGA. She had a quick impact by winning two major championships in her rookie year. She was one of?the best players in the world for several years and inspired an entire generation of players who aree currently dominating the LPGA.dddddddddddd?Se Ri is such a nice person, and she has a great smile. I really enjoyed my time competing against her. She is a wonderful role model for all players.-- Annika Sorenstam, World Golf Hall of Fame member, 72-time LPGA winner Se Ri is a hero in Korea. I started in golf watching her play. It was the same for So Yeon Ryu and Na Yeon Choi. She was very nice to me when I was a rookie. I am so sad she is retiring. When I talked to her at HanaBank, I told her, You can change your mind. But, seriously, I hope her life and future is nice. I hope she is happy. I am very proud and very sad.-- Chella Choi, one of 34 players from the South Korea on LPGA Tour in 2016 To be in Korea for her final event, her final round, I wasnt sure I was at a celebration or at a funeral. Everyone was in tears. They were all so emotional over what shes been able to accomplish and what shes been able to do for golf in that country. You see the effects out here on tour every day -- the incredibly strong, talented players who were all inspired by her. There are very few people who have been able to inspire a generation and an entire country, the way Se Ri has been able to do. She did incredibly well with all that pressure on her shoulders. I had the pleasure of playing many years on tour with Se Ri. I loved every round we played together. She is a role model for everybody, not just for the country of South Korea, but she truly is a role model for any golfer aspiring to pick up the game. When I [was] first kind of getting into golf, it was Se Ri, Karrie [Webb] and Annika [Sorenstam]. They were the top three players. And all three inspired me tremendously to pick up the game and to play with them and against them. It was pretty surreal to be able to do that. The game owes a lot to Se Ri. Shes done a tremendous amount for womens golf.-- Morgan Pressel, LPGA member since 2006, 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship winner She inspired so many young Korean players. Shes just such a class act, a great, great player with a beautiful swing -- everything you would want in a player. Well miss her. She opened the door for all of the little Korean girls who were looking for somebody to follow. She has become their idol. Theyre out here trying to accomplish what she has. Players like Se Ri feel a lot of pressure from their country. Shes a rock star.-- Nancy Lopez, World Golf Hall of Fame member, 48-time LPGA winner She is the one who opened the door for all the Korea players. I get asked a lot about why there are so many Korean players playing so well. There are many reasons, but one of the important ones is that we always had a really good role model. Se Ri was that role model. She played well, then Inbee Park started to play well. We are able to continue to have a good model. But Se Ri was the first. When I first started to play on the tour, she told me that having a good balance in her life is the most important thing. To me, she was a great inspiration and great adviser. I played with Se Ri this year for the first two rounds at the U.S. Open, which was the retirement tournament for her. I saw her tear up in her eyes. It was very emotional. I didnt expect I was going to cry when she said goodbye, but I cried a lot. It is a sad loss, but I know she is going to have a great life, and I am rooting for her.-- So Yeon Ryu, 2011 U.S. Womens Open champion ' ' '
