MOSCOW - The Russian Football Union says it is close to paying national team coach Fabio Capello, who last received his salary six months ago.Hit by financial problems, the RFU has been unable to meet Capellos reported $11 million-a-year salary but could now pay the arrears as soon as Wednesday, RFU president Nikolai Tolstykh said.Tolstykh held meetings with Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko to find a way to solve the problem, Russian media reported, and did not rule out the use of government funds.We will use any official source (of funds) which can help the RFU to fulfil its obligations to Capello, Tolstykh was quoted as saying by the R-Sport agency.Capellos unpaid wages have caused further problems for the RFU because of the recent collapse in value of the Russian currency.The veteran coachs contract is believed to be denominated in euros but paid in rubles according to the exchange rate at the time of payment. That means a missed monthly salary payment from July may now cost the RFU over 40 per cent more in ruble terms than if it had been paid on time.Capello has insisted the unpaid money is not a factor in Russias poor form, with just one win in its last eight competitive matches.The 68-year-old Italian said in October he was getting close to the limit of his patience with the salary situation, but has not expressed any discontent since. His contract runs through to 2018, when Russia will host the World Cup.Also Monday, Tolstykh said the RFU had arranged to end a standoff with its own referees and match officials over unpaid wages, hours after the dispute became public.The officials have not been paid for three months and are owed a total of over $440,000, a match inspector claimed Monday.

The 33-year-old right-hander was 1-2 with a 7.CORTINA DAMPEZZO, Italy - Two serious knee surgeries, fog, soft snow, and mounting pressure to match one of skiings most hallowed records.Nothing seems to stop Lindsey Vonn.The American fought through difficult conditions to win a demanding downhill Sunday and match Annemarie Moser-Proells 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup wins, capping a comeback from injuries that kept her out of last years Sochi Olympics.The last two years have been pretty tough and a lot of people counted me out and thought I would never reach this record, Vonn said. A lot of people thought that I would never win again. I never stopped believing in myself and I think I proved everyone wrong.Vonn clocked a time of one minute, 39.61 seconds down the Olympia delle Tofane course to finish 0.32 ahead of Elisabeth Goergl of Austria.It was just a tough day out there. The snow was a little bit soft but I did the best that I could, Vonn said. I fought really hard and to have a 62nd win with my whole family here pretty much — Im missing some brothers and sisters — it just feels amazing and its such a special day.Vonns dad, mother, step dad, step mom and younger sister Laura attended the race. Family and members of Vonns coaching staff put on celebratory T-shirts that said, Congratulations to our golden Lindsey! Awesome!Daniela Merighetti of Italy was third, 0.54 back. Larisa Yurkiw of Owen Sound, Ont., was the top Canadian, finishing 24th with a time of 1:41.74.Vonn can break Moser-Proells record in a super-G scheduled for Monday.I think 62 is more important to me, Vonn said. Now I feel like from here on out Im already tied for No. 1. So Im just going to try to continue to win races and Im skiing for another three years so theres a lot of racing left in me and Ill just keep on doing my best.Moser-Proell, an Austrian great, established the record between 1970 and 1980.Swedish standout Ingemark Stenmark holds the mens record of 86 wins.I feel like everyone has been talking about (the record) so much and its a little bit frustrating because I just want to focus on the skiing, Vonn said. I felt it was just getting ahead of the actual skiing. Im happy that the story is hopefully behind me now soo I can just move forward and continue to do my best and hopefully get a lot more wins.ddddddddddddVonn was on track to smash the record two years ago before she crashed at the world championships and tore up her right knee, requiring serious surgery. She attempted to return for Sochi but re-injured her knee two months before the games and had to have surgery again.Im trying to push the limits, always take tighter lines and ski like the men, Vonn said. Sometimes it doesnt work and I crash. Thats part of my sport. But I dont change anything. Thats my mentality — go big or go home.So having those ups and downs make the ups that more special, Vonn added. The last few wins have been so incredible.This was Vonns third win of the season — all in downhill — and the eighth of her career in Cortina.And it was anything but straightforward.As clouds moved over the middle of the course, the race was momentarily suspended after 12 skiers came down. And even when Vonn and the other favourites went, visibility varied over each section of the piste.Vonn came down with the No. 20 bib and had a nervous wait when Goergl came down with No. 22 and was faster at the first two checkpoints. But Goergl couldnt keep up with Vonn on the final turns.I wasnt very fast on the top. I dont really know what I did exactly. But I maintained my speed on the bottom and thats where I won the race, Vonn said.Goergl, who swept gold in downhill and super-G at the 2011 world championships, wasnt interested in discussing Vonns record.For me its more about the racing and the competition, the Austrian said. The statistics and all that stuff, I dont really care.Vonn had a few bobbles at the start of her run but increased her lead over then-leader Merighetti at every checkpoint. At the finish, Vonn collapsed to the snow in a scene of relief, then used her ski poles to pick herself back up, flashed a big smile and received a hug from overall World Cup leader Tina Maze, who finished fifth.The crowd of a few thousand fans in the finish area gave Vonn sporadic cheers, as most of them were rooting for Merighetti to hold the lead.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
