FSU上看到有人发布的新闻,说鉴于B/A很有可能为美国获得自1976年后的第一枚奥运冰舞奖牌,美国政府有可能提前让Belbin加入美国国籍,这样B/A就有可能会出现在明年的冬奥会上了:

Looks as if Tanith Belbin could get her US citizenship in time for next year's Olympics after all. Though the Canadian-born ice dancer and partner Benjamin Agosto have conceded publicly that it wouldn't happen, Congress may well accelerate the process, which could mean the first American medal in the event since 1976. The legislators didn't do it for Russian-born Gorsha Sur in 1994, probably because rivals Elizabeth Punsalan and Jerod Swallow raised a fuss. But since Belbin and Agosto guaranteed an extra US entry for Turin by winning a silver medal at this year's World Championships, none of their domestic competitors has a gripe . . .
