Ouch -- T and M

They had a small problem on the lift in the SP also. It affected the unison in their spins, but there was no indication that there would be a bigger problem on lift later. They must have felt comfortable with that lift before they did it in competition.

I admire the fact that Tatiana Totmianina wants to get right back on the ice. That takes alot of courage. As far as the the "accident", It is rare that skater fall out on a lift during competition. Usually that happens during training or practice. Thank god she has the support of her fans

I think that there must be a line the can't be crossed when it comes to the technical moves in skating. If we continue to expect more and more difficult moves, we're going to see more and more falls and injuries.

I agree about the limitation of technical difficulty of figure skating. Nowadays most of the elite man skaters working on quads. It's so hard to get it, many of the skaters end up with hip injuries, ankle injuries, and back injuries. It's really not necessary. Great triple jumps with height, smooth rotations, and right jumping technique can make a program spectacular and can also let the skater standing out.

Just watched the parts of SA I didn't watch before. The couple before T&M also came close to having a horrendous accident.

Sorry about the mistaken names before. I confused Hunt & Binnebose - I think Laura skated with Hunt after Binnebose.

I know it's been such a sad opening season. That's the reason why many of the pair's skater faltered in Skate Canada. Alot of them faltered on the "lifts" not being able to complete them. They are the people who are going through a tough time right now. Having to deal with such a unfortunate incident and then try to skate at the same time. I really wish that Maxim Marinin cheers up. It just hurts me to see him all depressed and in pain.

The couple before T&M was Obertas & Slavnov- the young pair from Russia.
