  In our works with Stoimenow, Vdovina and with Byberi, we introduced the
virtual canonical genus $g_{vc}(K)$ and the virtual bridge number $vb(K)$
invariants of virtual knots. One can see from the definitions that for an
classical knot $K$ the values of these invariants are less or equal than the
classical canonical genus $g_c(K)$ and the bridge number $b(K)$ respectively.
We use Manturov's projection from the category of virtual knot diagrams to the
category of classical knot diagrams, to show that for every classical knot type
$K$ we have $g_{vc}(K)=g_c(K)$ and $vb(K)=b(K)$.
