An obituary by E. Vaitsekhovskaya: http://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/reviews/982085/
... He was coaching Daniel Samohin and was upset by the decision of Israeli federation to leave him out of Junior World Championships...
In many Eastern Europeans alphabets W is actually called double V rather than double U.He said that one day he wanted to drive a "BM double V". We told him it's called a BM double u and he said "Why? It look like double V. Why you call double U.
I skated with Igor and he coached me a few times. I have some funny and interesting memories I'd like to share.
When I knew him, he was trying to learn a backflip because he wanted to become a pro and thought he needed it. He could do it, but he used to land too far forward. I was scared to be on the ice with him when he was working on it because he used to cry and scream and swear and kick the ice.
During an off ice session we were warming up and randomly doing somersaults. He asked us how to say it in English and when we told him, he said "Summer? Salt? That's so weird!"
He was coaching a girl at the time whom he used to call "sausage", and she called him "chicken".
He said that one day he wanted to drive a "BM double V". We told him it's called a BM double u and he said "Why? It look like double V. Why you call double U?"
Lastly, I was just learning a specific jump and was thisclose to landing it. He told me "You already have jump. Now take him and kill him." which I thought was hilarious![]()
If you consider French, German, Spanish, Portuguese Eastern European maybe. I don't know anyone except English who calls "w" "double u" instead of "double v".In many Eastern Europeans alphabets W is actually called double V rather than double U.
I don't know about French, German, Spanish and Portuguese, but I was talking about Czech, Slovak, Polish etc. I never claimed that I know all languages within Europe, so I was referring to those I know about.If you consider French, German, Spanish, Portuguese Eastern European maybe.
