Wang Lichung --> Wang Licheng = 王立誠 = Ō Rissei
Xu Sunghwang --> Su Sheng-Fang = 蘇聖芳

Liu Xiaogang --> Liu Xiaoguang = 刘小光

It's an interesting event

Some of the handwriting on that board is atrocious. Surely Yuki Satoshi had a hand injury? Yoshida Mika's hand is very, very nice though, and I liked the quiet calm of O Rissei. Su Shengfang's ornateness didn't work for me, but Ch'oe Ch'eol-han found a nice balance. Otherwise it was a very disappointing effort.

Atrocious, exactly. Of course, they spent their 10,000 hours on Go, not calligraphy.
Indeed, she is the only one who actually practiced (10,000 hours?).

I don't think they practice calligraphy this day. In my days, we used to practice calligraphy in primary school.

Of course not. Forget about calligraphy...
nobody needs to practice even basic handwriting any more,
just like nobody needs to know how to ride a horse,
or use a slide rule (or abacus ),
or (soon) how to drive any more.
