ALISSA Czisny edged Italy's Carolina Kostner by 0.13 points to win the women's title at Skate America in Ontario, California, on Sunday even though the American fell on one of her seven triple jumps.
Czisny totaled 177.48 points in her first appearance at the event since 2005, when she finished second. She won the short program on Saturday by nearly four points over Kostner.
Kostner, third last year, took the silver at 177.35.
Viktoria Helgesson of Sweden, fifth after the short, earned the bronze at 145.75. Skating to "Sunset Boulevard," she fell on a triple lutz, skipped a triple flip and touched a hand down on a triple salchow.
Three-time world champion Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany rallied to win the pairs title with a solid free program.
Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao of China, who led after the short, settled for silver at 178.66, the same color medal they won at the 2006 Turin Olympics.
