At Cup of China, Miki takes silver behind again Kim Yu-Na
Still lacking a really strong convention about the usage, the US press seem to want to employ the surname (family name) placement of the country of origin- Ando Miki-, but she's probably one of the reasons the convention isn't holding. Ando Miki. Kim Yu-Na, yea, we can do that one. But she finished 21 points ahead of Miki, her closest competitor, at Cup of China. Sweden's Sarah Meier, the 2006 Grand Prix final bronze medalist, was sixth. China was probably less than happy with their ninth, tenth and 12th place finishes. Below Ashley Wagner . . .
Although Skate Canada was all Joannie Rochette, US' Alissa Czisny took bronze
Skate Canada results were remarkable: Fumie Suguri silver, Carolina Kostner not on the podium, US' Caroline Zhang and Beatrisa Liang 5th and 6th respectively just behind Carolina. Below, Alissa Czisny at Skate Canada:

Jelena is in!
Backing up her boasts, Jelena has won a wildcard berth in next month's Australian Open. Okay, it took her two hours to put down the junior Monica Wejnert 6-7 (3-7) 7-5 6-3 and okay her wildcard position almost guarantees her a first round against a really top seed, but, for the first time in years, she is in.
There's even been talk of her representing in some Fed Cup action. (We Dokic fans are a stalwart bunch.)
