Elena Sokolova is a Russian skater, now retired. 2003 Worlds Silver Medalist, 3 time European medalist and a 3 time Russian Nationals champion. After Dick Buttons made a comment about her during a performance ("She's an awfully cute gal, a 'Cupcake', but this program is not working for her"), she was forever given the nickname 'Cupcake' on the internet by fans (and Uncle Dickie admitted being a tad embarrassed by his unintended moniker-making). Here are two videos of her performances 9 years apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=strwoRTSAmQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzZTPSgiRG8 and two pictures of her: http://www.oocities.org/colosseum/bench/7280/9744531.jpg http://icestars.narod.ru/sokolova/rus-nat06-6.jpg
