During the ISU GPF broadcast by ABC, when the standings after the ladies SP were shown on the screen, There was an Israeli Flag next to Joannie Rochette's name instead of a Canadian one.....I caught it right off and started

Did anyone else notice it?

You are right...I saw it and thought it odd, but was immediately distracted and did not give it another thought. I rememeber thinking, "When did they get singles skater in there?"

Yes, we noticed it, too. That was their second flag error of the evening; I forget what was the first.
