STOCKHOLM - Spains Javier Fernandez won his third straight European figure skating gold on Friday with a free program that had some technical faults but never faltered on verve. Pedro Jersey .Fernandezs consistently vivid skate to music from The Barber of Seville began with an attention-getting strong quad toeloop. He later fell on a quad salchow attempt, a planned quad to open a combination turned into a triple and he doubled a triple lutz.Russians Maxim Kovtun and Sergei Voronov took silver and bronze.In pairs, Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov led after the short program, edging Russian compatriots Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov.Frances Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres were in third place, but a full nine points behind.Despite Fernandezs lively presentation, he said the free skate was especially tiring.I couldnt even bow to the people at the end, he said.He wasnt sure why he was so tired, but said the air in the Globen arena seemed dry.Kovtun also complained of tiredness, saying I felt like a stone was striking me down on each of my jumps. Kovtun did two quads, but the first was marked down for under-rotation and he put his hand down on the second.Voronov said he was satisfied with his second Europeans medal and paid tribute to Fernandezs three years at the top.I think I already know the Spanish national anthem by heart because Ive heard it three times, he said.There wasnt a fall by any of the top pairs. Stolbova and Klimov, last years Olympic silver medallists , kept precision throughout their martial-arts themed program, even in the combination spins that saw their challengers lose synchronization.The two Russian pairs ended just 1.5 points apart, almost all the difference due to Stolbovas and Klimovs higher program components marks. Their triple throw also was a lutz, whereas Kavaguti and Smirnov did a throw triple loop with a lower base value.The programs percussive, non-melodic music was a contrast to the music of the others, and a challenge for the pair.Its not so easy to skate to this music because youre looking for a kind of rhythm, and theres just the drums, and the choreography also is different because of that, but it does suit our fast skating style, and so we feel comfortable skating to this music, Klimov said. I dont know if it was our best skate, but the marks were fine.Kavaguti and Smirnov, who were European champions five years ago before some seasons troubled by injuries and surgery, chose a more classical approach, skating to a placid and soothing Massenet piece.This music suits us very well, especially Yuko, and its not like something sad that puts you down. We want to show something romantic, and with flying feelings with this music, Smirnov said.Kavaguti in fact looked downbeat when exiting the ice, but explained: I was thinking so much. Thats why I didnt smile, its not because I was disappointed. Alvaro Morata Jersey . Ferrer will play Mikhail Youzhny on Sunday after he defeated Dmitry Tursunov 6-2, 6-4 in an all-Russian semifinal.

LOUIS -- Michael Wacha wasted no energy pondering the weather. The St. Louis Cardinals pitcher concentrated on shutting down the opposition, waiting for the big swing that decided the outcome. "I felt going out there and felt good going back out there after the rain delay," the 22-year-old right-hander said after a 2-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. "Its pretty crazy how much it rains, actually. Im pretty used to it." The experience was brand new for rookie Oscar Taveras, who made the Giants pay for a hanging curveball, then made a curtain call during his major league debut. "What a great day for him, one Im sure hell never forget, and neither will we," manager Mike Matheny said. "For him to come up and do it in that situation, its kind of mind-boggling." Wacha worked six innings of three-hit ball in his fifth rain-delayed start of the season and Taveras homered in his second career at-bat. "Everybody knows its gone," Taveras said. "That was a good swing right there. Im so happy right now." Yusmeiro Petit (3-3) gave up two hits in six innings for the Giants, but one of them was Taveras 418-foot drive in the fifth. Petit subbed for injured Matt Cain, placed on the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring injury, for the second straight start. "Our guy did a good job," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We just didnt do anything offensively." The Cardinals have piled up 6 hours, 30 minutes of idle time in Wachas starts, with delays of 51 and 47 minutes Saturday. The total includes a 61-minute weather delay before the first pitch against the Yankees his last start for a storm that failed to materialize, and the Cardinals lost in 12 innings. Wachas debut a year ago against the Royals was delayed more than 4 1/2 hours after the bullpen gave up the lead and finished at 3:14 a.m. "This guys going to be tough as nails, if hes not already," Matheny said of last falls NLCS MVP. "You cant put a young pitcher through much more than what hes been put through." Jhonny Peralta added an RBI double off George Kontos in the seventh for St. Louis, which ended a three-game losing streak and snappeed the Giants four-game winning streak. Willian Jersey. Rain began to fall heavily during Taveras at-bat with one out in the fifth while fans opened umbrellas or headed for cover. The game was halted for the first time after the 21-year-old outfielder, the teams prize prospect, hammered a 1-0 pitch over the right field wall. "That kids a stud," said Wacha, whos just one year older. "Everyone knows what hes capable of. That was a big-time homer for us." Petit was impressed after seeing Taveras for the first time. "Hes got a good swing, you know," Petit said. "He pulls everything. I tried to stay away and I missed one." Wacha (4-3) gave up one hit and dealt with just one base runner the first five innings, a double by Michael Morse leading off the second. He returned after a 47-minute delay to work a scoreless sixth, allowing two-out, two-strike hits to Hunter Pence and Pablo Sandoval before striking out Morse, the cleanup man, on three pitches -- the last a changeup. The St. Louis bullpen retired the last nine in order. Sam Freeman and Pat Neshek worked a scoreless inning apiece, combining for three strikeouts, and Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth for 16th save in 18 chances. Matt Carpenter had a single and walk and is batting .367 (21 for 57) during a 13-game hitting streak, the longest current run in the National League. Matt Holliday walked in the eighth and has reached base in all 27 home games. NOTES: Giants C Buster Posey missed his third straight game with tightness in his lower back.
