| Cricket-Australia's Siddle says Trott troubles fair game Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 07:56 PM PST By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Australia will leave no stone unturned to find ways of unsettling England during the Ashes, even if it involves raising the sensitive issue of Jonathan Trott's troubles out on the field. England's number three batsman left the tour this week to deal with a stress-related illness after failing twice with the bat during his team's 381-run loss in the first test in Brisbane. Australia's David Warner was condemned by England captain Alastair Cook and team director Andy Flower for publicly criticising Trott's batting, and England seamer Stuart Broad expressed his hopes that the hosts would not use the batsman's travails as a weapon. However, Australia paceman Peter Siddle gave short shrift to the idea of Trott being a taboo topic, suggesting anything was fair game in the heat of battle. Full Story | Top |

| Golf-Headline act McIlroy delighted to finally fit the bill Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 07:21 PM PST By Nick Mulvenney SYDNEY, Nov 29 (Reuters) - World number six Rory McIlroy was delighted to finally justify his role as a headline act after tightening up his putting to fire a seven-under-par 65 at the Australian Open on Friday. A disappointing year has sorely tested McIlroy's natural good humour but he had plenty to smile about after his round of nine birdies and a couple of bogeys saw him join late-starting Adam Scott atop the leaderboard on 10-under.

| Figure skating-After three hard years, Asada hopes to shine at Sochi Thursday, Nov 28, 2013 07:03 PM PST  By Elaine Lies TOYOTA, Japan (Reuters) - The first time Japan's Mao Asada set foot on a skating rink nearly two decades ago she wore a helmet and protective pads on her knees and elbows, wanting only to follow her big sister. Now she stands as a prime contender for gold at the Sochi Games, where she will once again lock horns with long-standing rival and reigning Olympic figure skating champion Kim Yuna of South Korea. Her mother's death the year before, coupled with several uneven seasons of changing her skating style from the bottom up in the wake of losing gold to Kim at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, had sent her into a slump. "If I hadn't gone through these tough times, I don't think I'd have come as far as I have, to being in my current condition." Asada, who has said this will likely be her last competitive season, racked up wins in both of her Grand Prix events this year, Skate America and the NHK Trophy, despite some trouble with the complicated triple Axel, a jump with 3.5 rotations.
