TALLINN, Estonia — Adam Siao Him Fa's bid to win the European men's figure skating title three years running has ended with a bronze medal after Lukas Britschgi produced a stunning upset to take gold in Tallinn. He's the second surprise champion in two days after Niina Petrokina of Estonia won the women's event. Britschgi had been eighth after the short program. He's the first European men's champion from Switzerland since 1947. Italian ice dancers Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri have won their event for the third year in a row. Guignard and Fabbri had the lead from Friday's rhythm dance and delivered an assured free dance.
