Anthony, it's funny about Yuka Sato. When I watched the 1994 world championships I though Surya Bonaly was totally robbed. The judges must be racists, and blind ones at that. Surya was totally right to refuse to get on the podium. She should have thrown her medal in the trash like Irina!
Later on, when I actually took the time to learn something about skating, well ... you see whose picture I have as an avatar, LOL.
Anyway, the way in which Sasha might turn out to be similar to Yuka is that they both might be better remembered for their pro careers than for their adventures as amateurs.
(BTW, Yuka and Jason sent me a big autographed picture last year, after I sent them some music that I thought would be good for them. They didn't use the music, but they sent me a picture, LOL.)
Back on topic, about Sasha wanting to "change society," when I was 21 I wanted to change society, too. Granted, this was in the 1960s when there was a lot of that going around.
Still, IMHO all young people ought to want to "change society." If they don't do it, who will?
