It wasn't really meant that sarcastically - it's just an observation. Come on, all the articles after the Worlds win mention that he was so brave, that he didn't mention the injury - it was like, "Oh my God - that guy skated with a broken limb and beat everyone else in the World". To the average public a fracture sounds a lot more dramatic than a tendonitis, I know very well that a tendonitis can be as bad or in chronic cases even worse.The fact is, an acute inflammation of tendons and ligaments could be a lot worse than a stress fracture, it takes much longer time and is more difficult to heal completely. IIRC Lambiel has tendonitis in his grion.
So don't be so sarcastic. You don't appreciate his style doesn't mean he doesn't deserve your respect.
