JUMPIN' JEWS!
On the third night of Hannukah my blogging gave to me...
Some Russian skaters with Jewish heredity(eeee):
Olympic Champion Oksana Baiul
World Champion Irina Slutskaya (middle of the page: Jews on Ice)
Also, Irina Rodnina has self-identified as Jewish on occassion to the Russian-language press in America, and while they are not officially Jewish, both Alexei Yagudin and Ilya Averbukh have traditionally Russian-Jewish last names. (The names could very well be the last remnants of a great-great-grandfather of the, as they say in Russia, Hebrew nationality).
Nevertheless, dreidels for everyone!
