The difference came in Kim's delivery. The South Korean earned only positive points for her execution of jumps, spins, spirals and transitions, while Asada was downgraded and lost points for underrotating a jump. "It was toward the end of my performance, and I think my legs were a little tired," said Asada after her program. "I wish...

Only one other time in the past 10 years has a batsman gotten to 190. In a career spanning 21 years, Tendulkar himself...
