A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

Too bad these results aren't replicated in the general population for the US.

Those were the coaches.
We know a professor who is good friends with Po Shen.  He is professor at Carnegie Mellon University; a top school.
Rudenko is a Ukrainian name, as are almost all names that end in ko.

Thanks for the correction !

Ukrainian in ORIGIN - but I know plenty of Russians with such an ending that go back 3 generations and can't find any UA connections ;)

They can't because there were strong reasons to "become" Russian.
After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten
