Short Interviews
Susie Wynne : Elena and Anton, I love your skating. Congratulations.
Commentator : Anton, Elena, what a year it has been.
As you carried her off, I think so
many people thought about how the story has happened, that
you have picked her up and carried her back into the
skating world. What has the year meant to you?
A few more interviews can be found at Yuri's B&S Interviews page.

Elena's Name
Anton's name is usually spelled correctly (except on the internet), but I've seen Elena spelled with a "Y" at the start, and her last name has been spelled Berezhnaya, Bereznaya, Berezhnaia, and Bereznaia. I'm not Russian, but I'm learning the language, so I will try to explain why there's so much confusion, although Yuri is probably more qualified to give you an explanation.
Elena/Yelena
Berezh/Berez
naya/naia Well that's my best try. Please tell me about it if I was unclear about anything. And if you want to learn more about Russian, here is Yahoo's Category.
About B&S Online and MyselfSome Info My name is Jen (Jenny actually) and I live in California, USA. I play lots of sports, but only volleyball and soccer seriously. When I was little I was into gymnastics, bu skating won me over eventually. I'm a student, 13 years old, bt I try (with varying degrees of success) to sound mature when I write these pages :) My dad is a computer engineer and really into the internet, so at the beginning of this year I started to work with web pages. My first attempt was a pitiful gymnastics page made with Front Page 98. I got fed up with web authoring tools like Front Page (there's lots of annoying things about them) so I learned HTML. If you are thinking of starting a web site, I think it's OK to start with a tool like Front Page, but it makes life much easier if you do it with Notepad and HTML.
My thoughts on B&S In the next season, I saw B&S in some Champion Series events, and the final, where they were great. I became a huge fan and around Europeans, started thinking about a web site maybe. I was truly nerve-wracked watching B&S at the Olympics :) In the short program, Anton's triple toe was straight and perfectly aligned with Elena's in the air, it looked like the outside edge he landed on was too deep and it slipped out. It was sad to see them in the Kiss n Cry; Anton looked miserable and didn't say anything at all, Elena was trying so hard not to show how upset she was I felt sorry for her. In the long program the fall on the final star lift made my top ten list of shocking moments in being a skating fan. A silver medal is a great accomplishment, especially considering how far B&S have come. They are so good that people tend to forget how young and inexperienced they are. Congratulations to Elena and Anton for their World title and great season! |

Russian letters being converted to the English alphabet is
called transliteration. Look at the last two Russian
letters in "Berezhnaya." There's an "a" and a "backward R."
The "backward R" is pronounced, "ya." I prefer the "naya"
spelling because if you changed the last two Russian letters to
English, the result would be "aya." However, there are several systems of
Russian-English transliteration. Some systems use "aia" instead
of "aya". Berezhnaya would be Berezhnaia, Slutskaya - Slutskaia,
Butyrskaya - Butyrskaia.
