This Will Hurt!

Accidents in figure skating are unfortunately unavoidable. It is amazing what acrobatic feats some athletes present together in their free skate. On the photo you can see that this time, however, the free skate did not go according to plan for this couple.

The woman falls headfirst onto the ice, dragging her partner with her. Her face is within a few centimeters of the ice. Although her companion tries everything, a collision can hardly be avoided. We pray that the duo did not come to serious harm. It is a reminder that figure skaters must be careful, and that the sport involves great risks.
