[image: a screenshot from episode 1 of Yuri on Ice. while Minako is saying "Man, I really wanted to go," the TV commentator is saying, "and Emil Nekola from the Czech Republic is in first." the last few words of that line are circled. the TV is showing six skaters' names and scores, which the commentary implies to be men's singles skaters, but a circle draws attention to how the skater shown in first place is from the US.]
