RUSSIAN LADIES SKATING
An excerpt from a recent, overall positive review of Axel of Evil:
The one bit I did have trouble accepting was that an American skater would dredge up a Russian grandmother so she could could represent that country. Given the strength of depth there, wouldn't it make more sense to go poking round Europe and find a nice, convenient relation born in the UK?
Based on the final standings of the American ladies versus the Russian ones in Turino (and pretty much every other international event, well, ever), I still say my character made the right choice. Wouldn't you...?
(For more, check out my earlier pieces on Country Hopping and Rent-A-Russian).

UK might be easier, but being a Russian skater automatically gives a much higher level of credibility. (in my opinion)
