MOSCOW -- Julia Lipnitskaia fell on her opening jump and put on what she called one of her biggest disappointments, but the 15-year-old Russian prodigy still edged out Carolina Kostner on Saturday by less than a point to win the Rostelecom Cup, the last of the seasons six preliminary Grand Prix events. American Mirai Nagasu took bronze. In pairs, Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany won gold, Russians Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov took silver, and Canadas pair of Kirsten Moore-Towers of St. Catharines, Ont., and Dylan Moscovitch of Toronto won bronze. Lipnitskaia also won Skate Canada, and her second victory of the season means she qualified for the Grand Prix Final -- which she missed last year due to injury. Kostner and Nagasu wont make the final. "Im happy to qualify for the final with two victories, but Im very dissatisfied with today. It was most likely my worst performance ever in competition," she said. "I made a mistake on the first jump and wasnt able to pull myself together." Lipnitskaia was well ahead of Kostner going into the free skate after a precise and ambitious short program. But after falling on her triple lutz, she put her hand down on the second jump. Kostner opened well, but later put her hands down on two jumps. She won the free skate, but ended 0.68 points behind Lipnitskaia in the overall results. Kostner, a 26-year-old veteran and the 2012 world champion, took it in stride, saying she wont let it distract her from preparing for the Sochi Olympics. "I made a few mistakes, but thats how it goes building up to an important event," the Italian said. Nagasu was pleased with third, after her eighth-place finish at the NHK Cup. "I wish I could put two and two together and make it to the final, but unfortunately that isnt the case. Ill take it as a blessing in disguise because then I have more time to train for nationals," she said. Nagasu had been in fourth, just one-hundredth of a point behind compatriot Agnes Zawadzki, whose troubled free program landed her in sixth place overall. Discount Air Jordans Free Shipping .

MILAN, Italy -- A late goal by Paul Pogba steered Juventus to a 1-0 win at Parma in coach Antonio Contes 100th match in charge on Saturday, while Napoli also kept the pressure on Serie A leader Roma with a 2-1 win at home to Catania. There was more misery for AC Milan as it slipped to a 2-0 defeat at home to Fiorentina. Milan was resoundingly jeered by the fans, who also unfurled a large banner demonstrating their displeasure. Vice-President Adriano Galliani left the stands after Fiorentinas second goal and there were reports after the match of a tense dressing-room meeting with the squad and Barbara Berlusconi, daughter of the club president. Conte rested several players ahead of Tuesdays Champions League match against Real Madrid but was forced to send on Andrea Pirlo and Fabio Quagliarella as they struggled to carve out opportunities. Quagliarella had an immediate effect two minutes after going off the bench with a stunning long-range shot which crashed off the crossbar and into Pogbas path, allowing the young Frenchman to coolly slot into the bottom corner in the 77th minute. Amauri had Parmas best chance with a backheeled effort which fizzed just past the left upright from close range. "We won as Juve, as a great team who wanted the win and ran very few risks," Conte said. "We played the long game and did better, so I am happy with the lads performance, especially considering that we play Real on Tuesday and some could have been thinking about that. But it wasnt like that." Juventus and Napoli are provisionally two points behind Roma, which has won all of its matches and travels to Torino on Sunday. Catania had not won in Naples since 1960-61 and Jose Maria Callejon gave Napoli the lead in the 15th minute with another stunning strike, ccurling the ball into the top corner from 20 yards.dddddddddddd. Napoli doubled its lead five minutes later when Lorenzon Insigne rolled the ball across the outside of the penalty area for Marek Hamsik to hit first time into the top left corner. Catania had not scored since Luigi De Canio replaced Rolando Maran as coach nearly two weeks ago, but it got back into the game in the 25th minute when Lucas Castro turned in Maxi Lopezs cross. Next up for Napoli is Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday, then a visit to Juventus next weekend. "It was an important win but we suffered a lot," Gonzalo Higuain said. "Catanias goal put us a bit in difficulty. These three points are good for our league position. Now well think about the Champions League." In Milan, former captain Massimo Ambrosini was given a warm welcome by the home fans, who displayed a banner paying tribute to his 18 years at the club. The Fiorentina midfielder was also given a standing ovation when he was substituted. Juan Vargas broke the deadlock in the 27th minute when his free kick took a deflection off Sulley Muntari in the Milan wall to wrongfoot goalkeeper Gabriel and go into the bottom left corner. Fiorentina all but sealed the game in the 73rd when Gabriel pushed Joaquins cross straight at Borja Valero, who tapped it into an empty net. "This squad is really making the most out of all its resources," Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said. "It was a very difficult game because apart from anything else both teams could have been nervous after the last round of matches. But we managed to control the game." Milan, which remains provisionally 10th, has to quickly pick itself back up for Wednesdays Champions League match at Barcelona. ' ' '
