There have been lots of requests for translations of these two recent interviews - and I will be publishing them here, to keep the record comprehensive (thanks for permission to Lauren Cammenga, Rachael Livingston and Olya Terentyeva, who are all contributing their work).   The interviews are both rather important, especially Khorkina's, but I am busy in my lecturing job at University every day.  I am also entrenched in writing another article for this blog which I am trying to get down while the ideas are flowing, so please bear with me for a little while.

In the meantime, Lauren's, Rachael's and Olya's good translations are already available on the internet, and I am providing links below, so you...
