In Ice skating the littlest imperfection whether it was the ice, loss of balance, or the human error factor things can go wrong badly. Even with lots of practice and training this is the perfect example of how bad it can go.
This is not from the 2004 world championships; it's from the 2004 Skate America competition in Pittsburgh. I was there. They were the last skaters of the night in the last competition of the event. Talk about ending on a downer. It was a relief to see her up and talking the next day. When it happened, however, it was very frightening. Imagine sitting near a kid who sees this and having to try to tell her you think everything will be OK.
First Rule: NEVER move a person after a fall you will most likely make it worse. There is a reason why when your put into a stretcher there is this box shaped (cast?) that is used to keep your head from moving as much as possible. You never know what damage had been done so you want to take precautions.
I remember watching this the day that it happened, There was SEVERAL falls but not as bad as this one, I honestly believe that there was too much ice flakes or whatever you call it that's on the rink they should have cleaned off the rink every other performance to have prevented such a tragic event, Does anyone know the outcome of the woman if she survived with out serious injury?
She did and went on to win the gold medal at the 2006 Olympics...she has since retired from competitive skating and just recently was in a spin off dancing wit the stars (skating show) in Russia ;)
Four months later, they returned to the World Championships, held in Moscow, Russia. They won the short program, posting the highest total score ever under Code of Points. They then conquered their fears and skated the same free program flawlessly, with the same dreaded lift. Their total score was well over 200 points, and they won their second consecutive World title easily.
Totmianina and Marinin dominated World competition from that point onward.
oh..i watched this on tv and i screamed and my mom thought that i was going crazy or somethin because i was watching alone at my room.and when she saw the rewind of it she said "tskk..i hope she did'nt break a leg.":D
It's kind of interesting, horrible, but interesting that both Totmianina and Berezhnaya suffered a serious head injury before winning olympic gold. They actually won the gold one after another, Berezhnaya in 2002 and Totmianina in 2006. Berezhnaya of course had a much more serious trauma, she had to learn how to walk and even speak again, imagine that, no one even thought she'd skate ever again.
A man and woman combo. Figure skating is gay how? Anyone who says it is is basically admitting that they don't like Guy-girl combos, but would rather see guy-guy combos. Anybody who thinks it's gay, is gay themselves.
omg, how can some of u ppl say figure skating is gay!!!??? it is not!! i am a figure skater and i dont like how some ppl r talking about it!!! and this pair is like my fav once i saw this fall on Oprah i like almost cryed!!! lol
OMG!!!!! Ali never took a punch that hard...or even gave one. She hit head first with nothing to break her fall...Those girls are at the mercy of gravity and fearless skating. That sport is NOT for the faint of heart!
Ive been a figure skater for 14 years and yep, its a really dangerous sport! It takes a whole lot of guts to do it and a lot of people don't realize just how dangerous it is and that we don't wear padding from head to toe out there!!! But its a great sport, I love it
This happened two three years ago, she's FINE now, nobody died, what if some people think it is funny, is not like anyone is laughting while she is been rushed to a hospital, what the fuck is wrong with you?. IT IS DAMN FUNNY!.
What the fuck is your goddamn problem, he was just observing, trying to show sympathy (even if it was a bad attempt), and you come back with this sarcastic shit tone, and label his with profanity? what is this pathetic world coming to!!!!!!!
fuck that.
