I just watched short track speed skaters and there is this guy named Celski, he looks half Asian but his name is so Slavic. I checked in Wikipedia, his father is of Polish descent and his mom is Filipino. He was fourth today. Here is more about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._Celski |

www.webcitation.org/5sP3GHiwkJR Celski Tattoo Is Both Philippine And Polish JR Celski shirtlessAfter his disqualification in the semifinals of the 1000m short track speedskating event at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, JR Celski unzipped his suit and revealed a large tattoo on his upper left chest. Filipinos and Filipino-Americans were quick to note that the basic design was that of the sun and star combination from the flag of the Philippines. What wasn’t so widely noted was that within the sun pattern is the coat of arms of the Republic of Poland. JR Celski is a Filipino-American (or “Fil-Am”) through his mother, Sue. However, he’s also a Polish-American (as his last name clearly suggests) through his father, Robert. JR wanted to show both sides of his ethnic heritage by merging together in one tattoo the emblems of both of his ancestral homelands. He had the tattoo done several months before the Olympics and it took about three hours to apply.
