of one country, but competing for another. i think
that one girl forfeited her citizenship beverly zhu

dual national, but also from u.s.

I was watching the women's luge the other night and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of really pretty women participating. Highlights from other sports like the biathlon showed some more beautiful and fit young sportswomen. Now that Home Cable have finally fixed my rubbish connection, I may watch some more of these Olympics.

Yes, not all female olympians resemble a synchronised swimmer or Princess Anne/Claire Balding

I suspect that any trannies going down the luge track would risk breaking off those rather large aerials they always seemed to have

Eddie Pasquale, goaltender, led Canada to a 5-1 drubbing of Germany. Eddie was the goalie at the high school where I work, and has been playing hockey for a long time. During the past three years, he has been playing professionally in Russia.

She has Chinese permanent residence status so dual nationality isn't a problem.

Whether or not her father is involved in her life isn't a problem either.
