Jans and Green were matched up against individual gold medallist Sarah Fitz-Gerald and her partner for Thursday's opening round doubles match. The Australian duo defeated Jans and Green in two games. Still, Jans was happy with her Commonwealth Games experience. "I felt like I played okay but I've definitely played better," Jans said in an e-mail Wednesday after the singles competition in which she made it to the second round. Jans, 29, felt good heading into the Commonwealth Games. She knocked off the No. 8 seed at the SportKit Women's International Squash Challenge in San Francisco in May and pushed the fourthseeded player, Jenny Tranfield, to four games. However, given the strong field, Jans did not expect a win at the Commonwealth Games. Instead she looked at it as a tuneup for a couple of upcoming tournaments. The first is the Panamerican Championships in Ecuador later this month. That will determine seedings for next year's Pan-Am Games, where Jans is the defending champion. The second is the world championships in Denmark. There the Canadian team will be looking to crack the top eight. If they can do that they will get two years of funding from Sport Canada. That will help players with expenses such as travel and coaching. Jans does get backing from Wilson, her racquet sponsor, but the Sport Canada funding would help expand the players' tournament schedules. While waiting for doubles play to begin, Jans took in the men's squash final-where Canada's Jonathan Power upset England's Peter Nichol for the gold medal-and some boxing matches. "Our squash team went to support our boxers the other day. Their rooms are right across the hall from ours and they train right outside our dorm. It was the first time I'd seen boxing live and it was very exciting." --By Herb Garbutt, staff writer At Commonwealth Games Jans and Green bounced in first round squash action Tom McGeer and Mark Williams roar through the Maine Forest Rally Course on their way to a second-place finish.

After 500km of racing, McGeer and Williams finished just nine seconds ahead of David Higgins of the UK while Paul Choiniere of the US was just another six seconds back. McGeer got off to a quick start by tying Mark Lovell in the opening stage of the race. Lovell would go on to win the race by two minutes and 12 seconds but McGeer, Higgins and Choiniere battled throughout the event, with their running order changing several times. McGeer drove a clean race and took advantage of Higgins' punctured tire on the final stage to take second at the finish. The race marked a sweep for Subaru with all three of the top finishers driving Subaru Impreza WRXs. "The car was perfect," McGeer said. "The team did an awesome job preparing the car after the Baie des Chaleurs. I pushed it harder than I ever have, and it performed like a dream." McGeer and Williams are looking to capture a second straight North American Rally Cup with their next event being the Rallye International de Charlevoix, from La Malbaie, Que. in October.
