Skating hurts, part 2
Feb. 21st, 2014 11:22 pmIf I had any artistic talent at all (alas, I don't), I would do a drawing or painting of this photo:
Julia Lipnitskaya made me cry with that long program in the team event. And then she broke my heart in the individual event. I wanted SO BADLY for her to win, or at least medal. But she was under absolutely monstrous pressure, by all accounts. It's a brutal sport, I'm telling you.
No matter what, though, she's one of my favorites from now on. When I fall for a skater, I fall fast, hard, and usually permanently.
Here's my final Atlantic piece on the event, by the way.
