Technically, dual nationality is forbidden but generally not enforced - and there is a certain degree of "don't ask, don't tell". With minors it is absolutely not an issue but upon turning 20, they are "expected" to chose.

For the first time in 1964, a Russian pair will not be atop the medal stand for pairs figure skating. In fact, the Russians were shut out of pairs medals completely, with the Chinese pairs of Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao and Qing Pang and Jian Tong taking gold and silver, respectfully, and Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy from Germany winning bronze.

She was prepared to do a quadruple throw jump, but the coach chickened out at the last moment and told her to switch to a triple right before the performance ... as in, immediately before going on the ice.
I can understand how that could have "thrown" her.

Greji wrote:Kawaguchi et al, just missed the bronze and I would have like to have seen them medal, if for no other reason, to see the media sink to new depths in re-birthing her as one of "our" Japanese children. All this, after the original "traitor" approach...
