Kim Yu-na defends Cup of China title for fifth straight Grand Prix win
BEIJING, Nov. 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korean Kim Yu-na captured her fifth straight Grand Prix title and second of the season by winning the Cup of China in Beijing on Saturday.
The 18-year-old, who had won the short program earlier this week, scored 128.11
in the free skate, boosting her total to 191.75 and edging out Miki Ando of Japan
by more than 20 points.
Kim, ranked just behind Japan's Mao Asada, claimed the Cup of China last year and
was coming off her fourth straight Grand Prix title at last month's Skate
America. The top performers from the series are invited to the Grand Prix Final
scheduled for next month in South Korea.
