EVERETT -- South Korea's Kim Yu-Na captured the Skate America women's title here Sunday, the 2008 world bronze medalist winning the free skate and short program in figure skating's season opener.

Kim took the free skate Sunday with 123.5 points to 115.07 for second place Yukari Nakano of Japan and 110.62 for former world champion Miki Ando of Japan in third.

Kim captured the overall crown with 193.45 to 172.53 for Nakano and 168.42 for Ando with reigning world junior champion Rachael Flatt fourth on 155.73.

It was a disappointing debut for former world champion Kimmie Meissner, the 2007 Skate America champion who switched coaches last February to work with Richard Callaghan but finished eighth overall and ninth in the free skate.

Reigning world champions Isabelle Deiobel and Olivier Schoenfelder of France won the ice dance title despite a second-place finish in the concluding free dance.

Olympic runners-up Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto of the United States won the free dance routine with 91.43 points to 90.89 for Delobel and Schoenfelder.

But the French duo had won the compulsory and original dances and with a second place in the free dance took the overall crown with 187.64 points to 186.93 for Belbin and Agosto.

Five-time British champions Sinead and John Kerr were third overall with 180.20 points despite finishing fourth in the free skate on 88.09, .75 behind the third-place US duo of Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates.

The six-event Grand Prix schedule continues next week with Skate Canada at Ottawa.
