Former Olympian moving to rehab

DENVER

Olympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen plans to undergo rehabilitation for her severed spine at a suburban Denver hospital.

Van Dyken-Rouen plans to be transferred sometime next week to Craig Hospital, which specializes in spinal cord injuries. Her husband, former Denver Broncos punter Tom Rouen, told The Denver Post that she may still need to undergo a second surgery at the Scottsdale, Arizona, hospital where she has been since she was injured in an all-terrain vehicle crash Friday night.

Tom Rouen says the family doesn’t know if she will be paralyzed, saying “we’re going to take it day by day.” Van Dyken-Rouen remains upbeat in her Twitter posts. On Thursday morning, after spending most of the night undergoing an MRI, she joked “Yes, I have a brain!”

Summitt receives Oakley award

OKLAHOMA CITY

Former Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt has received a lifetime achievement award from the Annie Oakley Society.

Summitt was honored Thursday at a luncheon and fundraiser to benefit the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. The Annie Oakley Society celebrates women who demonstrate leadership and the entrepreneurial spirit of the American West.

Susan Arp of the Pat Summitt Foundation said that Oklahoma women’s basketball coach Sherri Coale accepted the award on Summitt’s behalf.

Summitt led Tennessee to 1,098 wins and eight national titles in 38 seasons before stepping down in April 2012, one year after announcing she had early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type.

Date-Krumm, 43, downs champ,

BIRMINGHAM, England

Kimiko Date-Krumm, the 43-year-old Japanese who is the tour’s oldest player, halted Daniela Hantuchova’s title defense on Thursday to reach the quarterfinals of the Aegon Classic, a Wimbledon warmup event.

It was 18 years ago that Date-Krumm reached a Wimbledon semifinal.

The most crucial phase of her startling 6-4, 6-0 success was the 10th game, in which Hantuchova made a push to recoup the early loss of a service game.

The seventh-seeded Slovak briefly re-found the ground-stroking rhythm which Date-Krumm took away, and earned one break back point for 5-5.

But once that was denied her - Date-Krumm moved sharply forward and put away a smash, Hantuchova’s standard fell rather limply.
