[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ice skating has always had a dark side, as has gymnastics. Under the Russian and Chinese systems, children are basically taken from their families early to be used for the glory of the system. And yes, they are putting a ton of stress on these young girls. It might be amazing the stunts they can do, but they are being chewed up and spit out. I understand why the point system was revamped (and I may just pay peacock $5 to finish that documentary about the 2002 scandal) but it takes a lot of the joy out of skating when you are just trying to squeeze in as many points as possible. (Same can be said of gymnastics, actually-I miss the gymnastics of the 80s and 90s) So much is given up in the pursuit of glory for the homeland.[/quote] Oh please. There were just as many dull skaters under the old system.[/quote]
