Correctly - Serafima SAKHANOVICH, so is she called in official protocol.
Alsu Kajumova (I don't know what is her correct name in English because she newer took place in international competitions and I can't see it in protocol) is good but "2nd value star'.
Her nation is Tatar (Moscow Tatar, who some generations live in Moscow).
She is tatar like Aliya Mustafina?
Yes.
Alsu Kajumova is blonde tatar (most of tatars are dark-haired).
blonde tatar? what a surprised!

Wow. Mishin wanted to adopt him? That is an interesting story - how do you know about that?
It is not widely known, some-years-old story (from private information).
I believe, Mishin wanted to pay for clothes, food & so on for this child.
When Mikhail was about 7-8 years old, AFAIR.When did Mishin think he wants to adopt Misha? He doesn't look so talented boy now (sorry). Mikhail hadn't living parents in Pitersburg?
I'll write if I know.AlexRus, if you know what the music is for any of these skaters for this season, I would really appreciate it if you could post it with the videos. I will add them to the 2012 - 2013 music thread.
