Hoorah!!! She Made It! She Made It! She Made It!
She has achieved her childhood dream!
She will be in the Olympics!

Vanessa's Iron Will and Determination came through!
Hoorah!! For our Violin Princess, Vanessa-Mae!

No matter where she scores in the Olympics, she will be there!
I could not be happier for her!

Boys & Girls,

Vanessa-Mae had to make less than 140 points to be accepted in the Winter Olympics.

Her scores were: 131.15
137.95
108.45
115.79
+ 193.45
__________
696.79 divided by 5 = a score of 137.358 !! Very close, but enough!

Therefor she is IN !!

Cool!! She also talked about her thai father....but we dont know anything about him....do you?.

[CarrollTowerCX]

Zeta,

Not too much is known about him. He was a "Hoteler", when Vanessa-Mae was born. After the divorce
He apparently married again and so Vanessa-Mae has several half-brothers. She used to visit them every year or two. She also says he was in the Cell Phone business. Vanessa, has said she also talked with him about her Olympic bid.

If there is more, I would like to hear it also.

The only pic we have, is this, or I think, and in the first seconds of the classical album 1 video it appears a man, but I dont know whether it's Sr. Vorapong or not.
