Fine. If Orser wasn't in charge, he certainly ethically as a coach of an athlete should have opposed yuzuru returning. If I were the coach I would've refused to condone it and be there at the boards, and would've pushed for withdraw even if I didn't have the authority to make that decision. I lost tremendous faith in Orser and other decision makers at the event for even letting it happen. The results could have been horrific.
I wonder what yuzurus parents feel about it all. I can't imagine watching my child get an injury like that and then try to do quads and triple axels and fall apart. He could have literally killed himself.
Same with Yan hans team.
I can certainly understand your disagreement and your feeling that you would have acted differently. As I've tried to make clear, I don't think Hanyu or Han Yan should have been permitted to skate, either. One of the things I wonder, though, is if either coach could actually have prevented Hanyu or Han Yan from skating if they were determined to. I mean realistically, what could they have done - blocked the gate? Dragged them away?
