WNBA star Becky Hammon is playing for Russia in the Summer Olympics. She has no Russian ancestory and does not speak Russian, but I wonder- is she Orthodox? Check out the cross she wears in this video? Doesn't it look like it could be an Orthodox Cross? Is that possibly why she has an interest in Russia? She was not invited at first to the US Team, and so joined the Russian team.
