MOSCOW -- Javier Fernandez of Spain reeled off three quads in the free skate to streak from a distant second to the gold medal in the Rostelecom Cup on Saturday. Ted Hendricks Jersey .The world figure skating champion trailed Japans Shoma Uno by seven points after the short program, but ended the third of six grand prix preliminaries seven points in front. Skating to Elvis Presley songs, Fernandez opened with a quad toeloop and followed with a quad salchow-double toe; another quad salchow came in the second half of the program.Uno started with a quad flip -- hes the only skater to land one in international competition. He tried for two more quads, but fell on the third attempt. He also did only one combination of jumps -- a triple-single-triple that earned a bonus for coming very late, at the four-minute mark.Israels Alexei Bychenko won bronze, his first grand prix medal.Anna Pogorilaya won the womens gold with clean jumps and assured footwork, and Elena Radionova was second. But their Russian compatriot Julia Lipnitskaia interrupted her free skate because of injury.The Olympic champion, who withdrew from Skate America two weeks ago because of injury, was in third place after the short program. After a strong start, she singled a jump and then stopped to consult with trainer Alexei Urmanov and the judges; after several minutes she resumed skating, but fell hard on a triple axel. Details of her injury were not immediately known.American Courtney Hicks won the bronze.Germanys Aliona Savchenko and Bruno Massot won the pairs with a free skate of highs and lows -- the opening triple twist soared and the lifts seemed effortless, but Savchenko stepped out of one throw and fell hard on the second.Natalia Zabiiako and Alexander Enbert of Russia earned their first grand prix medal, falling to second after leading on the first day. Compatriots Kristina Astakhova and Alexei Rogonovs took bronze, also their first medal.Russias Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev won the ice dancing. Skating to music from Vivaldi and Chopin, their free dance was close to flawless and raised them to the top from third after the short dance.Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who had been narrowly in front after the short dance, dropped to second, troubled by some small errors and Bates stepping out of a twizzle.Canadas Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje won the bronze. Howie Long Jersey .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA. Eddie Vanderdoes Jersey . Ivanovic was leading 7-5, 1-0 when Hantuchova withdrew after falling 0-40 behind in the second game. The match started slowly for Ivanovic, who surrendered her first two serves as Hantuchova took a 5-3 lead. http:///...ic-sean-smith-jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury will be very comfortable if his backup quarterback has to take over for the starter for a while.Backup quarterback Nic Shimonek threw for four touchdowns and 271 yards to lead Texas Texas past Kansas 55-19 Thursday night in each teams Big 12 opener.He steps in and plays his tail off, the fourth-year coach said about Shimonek. He threw some incredible passes.Shimonek came in after starter Patrick Mahomes, who also threw for four TDs, got injured in the third quarter.Mahomes, who threw for 277 yards and had one interception, left the game after a 32-yard run that ended with him going down hard on his right shoulder. After being checked briefly on the sideline, he tried to throw one pass before going into the locker room for further evaluation.Mahomes could be OK, Kingsbury said. Asked how he knew that, Kingsbury said jokingly, cause I didnt see the trainer jump off the side of the stadium.We got to get him looked at more extensively, he said.The backups teammates think highly of Shimoneks work ethic.He never complains, said defensive back Justis Nelson. I never hear a bad word coming out of his mouth. He knows all the plays and we dont lose a beat whenever he comes in.Shimonek threw TDs for 4, 37, 31 and 59 yards, while Mahomes scoring strikes were for 14, 18, 17 and 6.Jonathan Giles led Texas Tech (3-1) with 12 catches for 219 yards.Theres a reason their offense is second in the country, Kansas coach David Beaty said. Those dudes can score fast.Giles continues to be Texas Techs go-to guy.They tried to double him at times, but he found a way to get open and once he gets it, he can do stuff with it, Kingsbury said.The defeat for Kansas (1-3) made it 40 straight losses in games away from Lawreence, Kansas. Khalil Mack Jersey. .That score did not show how the game went, quarterback Ryan Willis said. I mean, hats off to them, they played their butts off, but we need to bounce back again. Some nights you win, some nights you lose.The Red Raiders have scored at least 50 points in nine straight home games.Beaty switched between QBs Montell Cozart and Ryan Willis.Im sure everybody has their idea of who should be playing quarterback for us, Beaty said. But were with them every day. I evaluate them every day. I see them every day. Our staff sees them every day. We make decisions based on what we see, not what we want.THE TAKEAWAYKANSAS: The Jayhawks took some time to get going against a defense that was giving up 531.3 yards per game coming into the contest. They punted on their first six possessions and didnt get a touchdown until late in the first half after QB Ryan Willis came in for starter Montell Cozart.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders offensive line struggled and penalties erased big plays. An ineligible receiver call against Texas Tech negated a 31-yard reception by Derrick Willlies late in the first half. There were also two false start penalties, including one that nixed a 36-yard catch by Reginald Davis that would have given the Red Raiders the ball at the Jayhawks 1. I dont think our O-line played very well, and its something weve got to address, Kingsbury said.UP NEXTKANSAS: The Jayhawks play host to No. 21 TCU on Oct. 8.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders travel to Kansas State on Oct. 8.---Follow Betsy Blaney on Twitter at www.twitter.com/betsyblaney---Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ;Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
