This is old news, but I looked it up because the World Figure Skating Championships are on at the moment (when will our women stop sucking?). Last October, Russian pair Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin were competing at Skate America when Tatiana literally face-planted out of a lift. This isn’t for the faint of heart:
Nasty. Anybody who says figure skating is for wimps ought to watch that a couple of times. My wife was a competitive skater (note how she watches the sport) and she once broke her partner’s nose coming down on a throw.
Happily, she fully recovered and, last night, defended their title.
