Check out this e-mail I received from a fan
on my website… It made my day! Thanks Katya.
Hi! My name is
Katya and I live in Australia, until I saw the Winter Olympics last year, I
thought, and felt like I was the only Katya that lived in Australia, and no one
could say my name properly. They would butcher it and say it like "Katcha
or Kadiya or Kataya. However, after the Olympics, when people asked what my
name was, they would say "oh, like Katya in the Olympics?" So I want
to thank you for giving me hope and teaching other people how to say our name
properly. Heehee!
From Katya.
And yes, many people struggle with not being
able to pronounce my name properly, hence the nickname ‘Kat’. It’s another
reason why I love being in Europe. They say my name better than I do!
