Hey Chuckie-- you forgot to misspell Sarah's name like you usually do!
Orthography aside, Sarah Hughes would be considered Jewish by Jewish law,
regardless of her father's surname, because her mother is Jewish. Whether
or not she (or anyone in her family) practices the religion is another
matter. In an ABC fluff piece done on her at Nationals a few years ago (and
that's US Nationals, because she's from New York), she was shown decorating
the family's Christmas tree.

Sarah's MOTHER is Jewish not her father.

Sarah's dad John is from Canada and her mother is an American. Sarah was born
in July of 1986. This is not the same person or did someone else named Sarah
Hughes win a gold medal in SLC in another event?
