In the bookThe Second Mark which looked at Shen and Hongbo (along with Anton and Elena and Jamie and David) it also covered their coach Yao Bin. He and his partner were the first to represent China in figure skating.Has anybody ever looked up into how the first East Asian coaching teams came up? I think it would be great to know, since they didn't "traditionally" figure skate. Where did the first skaters and coaches train and how?

Somebody needs to tell that genius that the "Swan Song" is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death or retirement (referring to the caption here: "Stanislava's swan song" in a post about Stasya taking part in the SL show).
I'm sad that Alisa didn't skate for Georgia. It would mean that Georgia would have had a great chance for Olympic bronze in the Team event.I believe there was Alisa's interview where she said that soon after she had decided to retire she received an offer from Georgian federation however she decided to not change her decision.
