    How many ex-russians compete in Sochi for countries that is not Russia? Alisa Agafonova sounds russian. There is trend of russian people who win medals for other countries that welcomed them. Putin and jingoistic russians are eating their hats Im guessing. LOL. That's the way to take care of your athletes, Putin. So they emigrate da f*** out of your country. Fish-eyed king live and learn.

      correct she was born in Ukraine, there is less competition in Turkey then Ukraine, and money probably better too. Commentators stated there are 10 pairs in competition where one partner wasn't born in a country they are competing for. Like Isabella Tobias, was born in NY, competes for Lithuania, etc... Also, one russian pair after years of trying to get on top in Russia, moved to Azerbaijan few years ago, less competition.

      and the best part is, most of ice dancers ( the world) train in USA, in Michigan (yes its ice dancing mecca) or Canada

      last time around, my friend interpreted for a Russian skier who officially got Tajik citizenship just to be able to compete, having never been to Tajikistan or anything. He didn't fare so well

      Wait, Lord Grantham is Turkish?! That explains so much about Lady Mary's interest in Mr. Pamuk.

      Two important questions must be answered:

      1. How have I never seen this?

      2. How did this not take off?
