Interesting...the guy on the Russian feed I was watching just referred to Yuka as Yuka Kawaguchi not Kavaguti

If he pronounced it that way, yes, that's exactly why Yuko changed the spelling of her name, that is, to have her name pronounced in Russian as it would be in Japanese (or as you pronounce "Kawaguchi" in English... In Russian, you pronounce Vs as you do Ws in English, and Ts as you would CHs).

Very proud of our US pairs. We'll definitely have at least one in the top ten. Good showing. Hopefully we can build on this for the future.

WTG E&L!

Also, I am such a dork. I just realized D&B have the exact same short and free music as Evan Lysacek.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I just assumed it was the Russian spelling and not pronounciation. Thanks!

Intersting fun fact! But at least they didn't wear black for both the SP and LP!

OT: At least while I wait to get the feed back for Tatz and Stans, I get to watch the medal ceremony for the Men's Moguls!

Next pair ... thankfully they don't look like short track speedskaters tonight ... but, he's really having problems with the jumps, he seems very heavy on his feet.
