There was a 16 year old American in this year's Olympics who skated in the pairs competition for one of the 'Stan countries. She'd gotten her citizenship there only a couple of weeks before. Apparently it was pushed through by her skating partner's dad, because his son didn't have anyone good to skate with. She'd never been to the country. But the potential ethics issues didn't seem to be an issue with her family; her brother and sister were skating for Taiwan!<br /><br />Sigh. <br /><br />We don't have TV, either. But we were recently at a friend's house where they had TiVo, so we watched a bit of the Olympics coverage (and fast-forwarded through the ads).Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668252458131596362noreply@blogger.com
