Mirai Nagasu Takes Title at U.S. Figure Skating Championships

Mirai Nagasu has won the ladies' title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. She stunned the world with her performance in the short program, and now she stuns the world again by taking the title as the second youngest woman to do so.

At age 14, though she has won the national championship, she is not eligible for the world championships.

Novak Djokovic Wins the Australian Open

Novak Djokovic takes the Australian Open Men's Singles title by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2).

It's a historic occasion as this is the first Grand Slam win by a Serb.

The third seeded Djokovic seemed off-track by losing the opening set, but recovered his form thereafter, while Tsonga started faltering. It was a fight to the finish in the fourth set. The more experienced Djokovic just would not let go.

A great challenger Tsonga was, and the French can look forward to future successes with him.
