Letters to the Editor

To the Editors:

I wanted to say thank you for the many wonderfully informative articles I’ve enjoyed in the recent months of my new subscription.  As a fan of figure skating, I particular enjoyed your article on Alexei Yagudin and Yevgeny Plushenko, leading up to the World Championships in Moscow in March [Ice Skating Wars, Jan/Feb 2005].  I was glad to see an update on those championships in your most recent issue, but found an error in the report.  You stated that Stephane Lambiel’s gold medal was “a first ever for Switzerland.”  I wanted to point out that Swiss skater Hans Gerschwiler won the title in 1947, and more recently, Denise Biellmann won the ladies’ title in 1981.
