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.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. Fake Shoes From China . - Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Jason Babin is now a free agent. Fake Sneakers .

Check out todays trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TradeCentre on TSN and TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Winnik Ways The Toronto Maple Leafs are hearing offers, but they arent ready to start selling just yet. According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Leafs received an offer from the Pittsburgh Penguins - one of the busier clubs ahead of the deadline - for utility forward Daniel Winnik last week. It was last week and we shouldnt be surprised by it but the Pittsburgh Penguins put in an offer on Daniel Winnik, Dreger said on TSN Radio 1050. Pittsburgh is doing a pretty good job of getting their business done well before the trade deadline. The Penguins acquired F David Perron from the Edmonton Oilers at the beginning of January and traded F Marcel Goc to the St. Louis Blues for F Maxim Lapierre on Tuesday. Winnik has three goals and 17 assists this season with the Maple Leafs and has played on all four lines as well as seeing time on the penalty kill. He leads the club with a plus-13 rating. They (Pittsburgh) wouldve preferred to tweak their third line and felt that Daniel Winnik wouldve been a real nice add to that third line with (Brandon) Sutter and maybe Nick Spaling, but understandably the Toronto Maple Leafs, they want a decent price. They may need return for Daniel Winnik if theyre going to consider that trade. Its a little early for the Leafs. We look at the standings and see Toronto is 10 points back but theyre not ready to wave tthe towel yet.dddddddddddd Flaming Lips The Calgary Flames are looking into the possibility of acquiring centre Mike Richards from the Los Angeles Kings. According to Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, a source confirmed GM Brad Treliving has inquired about the 29-year-olds services. The two-time Stanley Cup champion cleared waivers Tuesday and is expected to report to the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL this week. Francis reports the Flames would be interested in adding a player like Tyler Toffoli or Tanner Pearson to a potential deal with Richards, who has five years left on his contract with an annual cap hit of $5.75 million. Richards, who has been in steady decline since a career-high 80 point season with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2008-2009, has just five goals and 10 assists in 47 games this season. Yard sale? The Carolina Hurricanes have a handful of pending unrestrcited free agents that could find themselves in other jerseys by the time the trade deadline rolls around. According to Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer, GM Ron Francis has stated that many of the potential UFAs could be shipped out for players or picks. “That’s just the way the business works,” F Jay McClement said. “There’s going to be a lot of speculation, especially with UFAs.” McClement joins F Jiri Tlusty, F Patrick Dwyer, D Andrej Sekera, D Tim Gleason and D Brett Bellemore as Hurricanes who will be without contracts on July 1. Sekera has expressed interest in staying, saying “hopefully we’ll get something done.” Alexander also reports that Francis has spoken to the agents of Sekera and Tlusty in search of the right price and right term for both players.
