Why do we do this? I always though it was to encourage them when they get up and keep skating. However, when I was in Lake Placid in early July, the audience was clapping as the skater fell and way before he/she shows signs of getting up. And, it was often the most applause they got during his/her program --which just seemed wrong.
My husband asked me about it and I want to make sure I gave him the right answer.
