If nothing else to look forward to when the G.P.`s start it is the riders names being pronounced. The latest to prick my ears up was at the BEST PAIRS WORLD CUP, and listening to the two announcers saying SAYFUTDINOV`s name. It was a definite SY-FEN-A-DEEN-OFF, that is the closest I can put what was said into words or letters. Would it not just be easier to ask the rider after several seasons of one pronunciation how he said his own name and then explain to the listeners that they have been wrong in the past and here is how it should be pronounced as believe me it sounded rather out of place. But then again I am a Scot where everything is a Jimmy or a Jock!
