Susie Wynne : Elena and Anton, I love your skating. Congratulations.

Elena : Thank you

Susie Wynne : Now you came in first in France, and now you're first here in Munich. How does this feel to be on the winner's podium?

Anton : Sure we are very very glad and very happy...no question.

Susie Wynne : All good things. Now, will you make any changes going into the Olympics in your programs?

Anton : I don't think so, because it's now we have good program and we don't need change nothing.

Susie Wynne : Well best of luck in Nagano, we'll be rooting for you. OK congratulations.

Elena and Anton : Thank you.

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?

Anton : You know, my partner for me is like diamond. And I must keep her and have a ... make big attention for her, and I'm every time worry about her. And here [gesturing toward his heart] it's just my feeling.

Commentator Al, as I throw it back to you, just look at Elena's eyes and those smile and that tells it all. Congratulations to the two of you.

Elena : Thank you.

Anton : Thanks.

When asked about their fall on the final invereted star lift in their Olympic long program, Anton responded, "I don't know what I can say. It's a new finish. If you don't like it, we can change it, no problem."

Elena's mother's name is Tatyana.

Anton's parents' names are Lyudmila and Tehreeal. That would make his full name, "Anton Tehreealovich Sikharulidze." Whew.

I've seen record of a pairs team that finished 8th at Russian Nationals this year, "Shliakhova and Petrovski." Sorry but I think that's kind of creepy :)

This isn't really a fact or quote, but I still have hope that Elena and Anton will fall in love with each other again. They make a perfect couple.

Some 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.
