I think this means Anna is fourth in the third group for the SP, and Anna T. skates right after her. I don’t know, are the practice groups and the SP groups the same?
Ignoring the individual order, it does seem like she’s in Group 3?

Nope, there will be a draw.
And we should know the skating order within three hours or so.

EDIT: now, 3 rotations per swing would be something!

Last in the gorup is the worst position because it's harder to keep the muscles warm, but it's probably better than being first overall like the other Anna.
All the best to Anna (both of the Annas, actually!) I hope they both skate clean to their best potential!
Also, this is kind of a weird comment and I’m aware that I’m being really childish, but I really want to hear an English commentator attempt to pronounce Anna’s surname. Five bucks that Ted will pause for a moment and then say “she-cher-bak-ova”?
That aside, I can’t wait to see them skate, and hear what Ted says about both Annas! Good luck to both of them!

Bless you for this comment, it's not childish at all! :clapper:Also, this is kind of a weird comment and I’m aware that I’m being really childish, but I really want to hear an English commentator attempt to pronounce Anna’s surname.

Respect to other people names is fundamental in our civilization. We should at least try to spell and express them as correctly as we can, whether they're hard or easy to say/wrote in our own language.
I guess Anna's "sh"+"ch" connection is tough to spell for Anglosaxon and Romance speakers, but it would really sadden me, if Anna and her parents simplified it's spelling like Plushenko did.

But at least he has a lucky chance to put the stress correctly because he always does the stress in the -ova on the o.

I still consider it rather disrespectful to not even look up how to pronounce someone's name if you're a public figure narrating to the masses... Especially when it's not anything that's at all difficult like the Alina / Alena thing. I just don't understand, it takes a couple of minutes to watch a Russian competition video to hear their name announced. And if such simple things that only have to do with some knowledge without any difficult sounds, I really don't think they can do the Shch properly.
It's pretty interesting, actually. I struggled for a while but then realized that actually, Shch just is to Sh what ä is to a or ü is to u. Now I think my Shch is somewhat respectable.

I think it's important to try to pronounce names correctly, but even people who are trying can get them pretty wrong. It's very difficult if it involves a sound that isn't used in your language, and some people just don't have very good ears for copying the sounds even when they try. I think the stresses are a lot easier to get, although often you just have to memorize those too.
I know some people who came to North America from the Middle East a couple of years ago, and they still can't say my name correctly, even when they repeat it after me. And they really struggle with the sound of the letter 'p' because it's not used in Arabic. They generally end up saying 'b' instead.
That's because different languages use different phonemes (the basic sounds). Infants are able to learn any phoneme in the world, but as we get older we tend to only recognize the ones used in languages that we speak. So often we genuinely can't properly hear the sound the way native speakers do - our brains just interpret it as the closest equivalent in our language.
And of course, Ted will be saying a whole lot of names this weekend, so it would be hard for him to learn them all.
I've spent quite a bit of time learning to pronounce Russian names, and in general I'm pretty good at pronouncing things from different languages without too much of an accent, but I doubt I'd be able to get the 'shch' sound quite right. Same for the letter than gets transliterated as 'kh'. I can get it basically right in Mikhail if I concentrate, but there's a Russian tennis player named Karen Khachanov and I found that sound really hard to get at the beginning of the word.
Sorry, probably didn't need to go on like that, but I just finished a course that talked about some of this.
