ALTENBERG, Germany -- Canadas Alex Gough won a pair of silver medals while Kimberley McRae added a bronze at a World Cup womens luge event Sunday. The Calgary native finished second, 0.674 seconds behind Germanys Natalie Geisenberger (one minute 46.332 seconds), who captured the World Cup championship for the second straight year. "I definitely didnt expect that ...," said Gough. "I think seeing your teammates do well does a lot for everyone to know it is not only the Germans that can get on the podium. To have two athletes from another country on the womens podium is very rare." McRae, also of Calgary, trailed Gough by 0.024 seconds for her first-career podium. "Standing in the finish area beside Alex my heart was just hammering," said McRae. "I remember watching the Russian and saying to Alex, I could move into third. I just started jumping for joy. "It was amazing. To share it with Alex is pretty cool. Watching her get on the podium over the last few years has really helped me. It tells me I can do it and it is not always the same athletes that win." It was Geisenbergers seventh win in eight races on the circuit this season. Her teammates Tatjana Huefner and Dajana Eitberger were fourth and fifth. This is the seventh consecutive year that Geisenberger finished ranked in the top three on tour and the 16th straight year in which a German woman won the season-long title. Geisenberger is also the sixth woman to win back-to-back World Cup titles and the ninth woman with multiple championships overall. "They all tell me that Im the top favourite to win the gold medal at the games," Geisenberger said. "However, my aim is to claim a medal. The pressure is high enough and I dont need to put myself under even more pressure." In the team relay, Russia finished first, followed by Canada in second -- with Gough getting her second silver of the day by being part of the effort there -- and Germany took third. Germans swept all three disciplines in the World Cup this season, with Felix Loch taking the mens crown and the team of Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt winning the doubles points championship. Germany also finished with the most ranking points in team relays. Yeezy Online .

Following a free transfer from Real Madrid on Sunday, Milan announced on its website that the club reached a deal with the 2007 FIFA world player of the year early Monday. Financial terms were not disclosed but the Gazzetta dello Sport reported that it was a two-year deal worth (euro)4 million ($5.3 million) per season plus bonuses -- a significant drop from the (euro)10 million ($13.2 million) Kaka earned with Madrid. "Kaka made a big (sacrifice) to return here, showing a lot of affection for our shirt," Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani said. The 31-year-old Kaka wants to play for Brazil at next years World Cup in his home country and should feature more at Milan. "Milan is ideal for me," Kaka told Milan Channel. "I always find great champions here. Before there was Pippo Inzaghi now theres (Mario) Balotelli. I hope to experience great joys with Mario. "I really want to play," Kaka added. "This is a special year for me because the World Cup is coming up but now Ive got to do well with Milan. I was very sorry to leave but now its even more special to come back." Elsewhere, a potential three-way swap involving forwards Fabio Quagliarellla of Juventus, Alberto Gilardino of Genoa and Marco Borriello of Roma fell through.dddddddddddd Although Juventus announced two deals with Serie A debutante Sassuolo. Midfielder Luca Marrone was sent to the promoted club in a (euro)9 million ($11.9 million) transfer but Juventus then purchased half of his rights. Forward Domenico Berardi, meanwhile, was acquired by Juventus for (euro)9 million ($11.9 million) but he will stay with Sassuolo on loan this season after his rights were also split between the two clubs. In another move, Inter Milan loaned midfielder Joel Obi to Parma. Kaka joined Madrid from Milan in 2009 for (euro)65 million ($92 million). But after injuring his left knee, he was never able to establish himself as a first-choice player in Spain. Kaka did not play in an official match with Madrid after the recent arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, who coached him during his best seasons at Milan. Kaka was the worlds top player when he led Milan to the Champions League title in 2007, when he also helped the Rossoneri win the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. While he doesnt seem to be the player he once was, Kaka should still be an able replacement for Kevin-Prince Boateng, who transferred from Milan to Schalke last week. He could line up either in attack alongside Mario Balotelli or share playmaker duties with Riccardo Montolivo. ' ' 'orner and didnt return. ' ' '
