NAGOYA, Japan, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Two-time world champions Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara won the pairs title at the International Skating Union Grand Prix final in front of a home crowd on Friday, edging Italians Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii.

The Japanese duo, who top-scored in Thursday's short program, made an early mistake in their free skate as Kihara momentarily slipped, but finished strongly to get a combined score of 225.21, with Conti and Macii 1.93 points behind.
