oh noes it struggle, struggle is real

Seriously ice hockey in Peking is very low level (as NHL players are not present). Ice hockey should have been removed from Olympic program 2022 (Peking).

Even Olympic's football/soccer is much better / much closer to Euro Cup / World Cup (top levels of sport) than this.

The Western puppet Russki must be glad. An ethnic Tatar woman will not win the Olympics for Russia.

She will continue to participate.
Stupid idiots, they think that some kind of doping will allow an athlete to perform at a similar level (including artistry).

Don't pay attention, it's just that the representatives of one well-known civilization are brought up in such a way that any defeat for them is a shame, humiliation and hysteria. Especially in fair competition, which they also do not know how to win.
A 15-year-old child was drugged by stupid coaches right before the Olympics and they don't know that athletes (especially from Russia) will be tested in the most thorough way? This is politics.
By the way, why has the level of European figure skating fallen so much over the past 15-20 years?

Ok, she became forth. She was first after short program. Today (free program) she skated ''badly'' as knowing hers levels/limits. Pressure (Doping case) just has been too much for 15 years old to carry. After free program hers woman coach first words/comment were: Why you gave away ... clearly accusing her and not supporting her (which she would have needed). I felt pretty bad (yes, Russian background person translated that).

KirillMazur: Lets forgot shortly that she comes from Russian. As a human, 15 years old, still a I child, I feel sad for her. In my eyes women single figure skating has gone wrong direction. Already years. Now I'm not against idea that 15 or 16 years old girl might be world best, but I hate idea that at 17 to 19 years old same person is already so badly injured that she will need to stop skating. Lets take one example; Alina Zagitova won Olympic Gold Medal 2018 (as being 16). She needed to end his sport career at the age of 18. Hers body was simply so end.

These girls will train so much since they can stand up to get on top at the age of 15. Because of adults and systems. I see that unhealthy. What comes to her, she lost hers changes to win Olympic Gold Medal. Like Alina, she can not skate top levels anymore 2026. How I see this: Adult people betrayed her.

If it would be me, I would set minimum age 18 to participate women's figure skating competitions (like Olympics, World Championships etc.). To avoid that above.

Checkmate Russki. Anna Shcherbakova wins and she's also VURian origin.

What are common injuries in skating? Problems with the hip joint?

[Incal]

This is my favorite winter sport



It's fucking hilarious lol

What are common injuries in skating? Problems with the hip joint?

There are lots of these. Hip area, lower back (especially with these amazing young light jumping stars) and all kinds of legs problems. With angles, lower limbs.
I had stress fractures on shinbone and foots just to mention two.
