We start our recap of this past week's bevy of skating content with the ladies at Russian Nationals, and a general discussion of our concerns for the health and safety of the skaters here and why much more needs to be done to try to preserve the health and well-being of athletes who are so often children. We also discuss the impact of injury and illness on a number of the skaters' performances, and why this whole event was a bit hard for us to enjoy.
