Let me get this straight about the Skaters in particular.
They work out on the ice 4 to 8 hrs a day @ that level, do off ice training, weights, aerobic, message, possible sports psychologist and 4 to 6 coaches to work on every facet of their routines, for a 4:00 minute skate ( their Long Program ) that started with learn to skate programs and became a life of hard work for the skaters and their parents?

He's more of a Commie that Putin, with the Commies it is always about the agenda....
One more thing, and don’t get a last minute injury during final training their or get your skates lost on the airlines... Yes it has happened and it is a nightmare....
