This year, unfortunately, I feel that there is no doubt that a Russian must be named. Yuri Gagarin, the first man to circle the earth in outer space, must surely be named to hold this distinguished title...
Three nights after the Kirov's debut, Sizova stopped the show again with Yuri Soloviev in a wildly exuberant pas de deux from Marius Petipa's Corsair, part of a program of excerpts that the troupe brought off with virtuosity and vigor...

The speedup could put an astronaut into orbit late this year...
