Well that explains the "I'm not the one injured" comment from Alex in that rant.

Poor Maia.

oh wait, on the long form live barn video he yells at her about it
he really is the worst

The fact that she had a major knee injury a month or so before Alex's rant makes his behavior even worse. Maia is barely back on the ice and he's cursing her out for 40 minutes over a rocker turn?

I suspect the fracture was probably a hairline fracture or severe bone bruise (or both). I've heard (non-elite) skaters in my area talk about "breaking" a bone when it's actually a bone bruise (not quite a break but still painful and debilitating).

IIRC, Penny Coomes had a fracture of her kneecap (i think she said it shattered in several places ) and she had surgery and was off the ice for almost a year.

Did any of you see the Team USA instagram where the Shibs are playing a game on how well they know each other and the question is who is Maia figure skating idol and Alex answers himself? Like wtf. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSc2gsoEYfN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I thought the same thing and I am old too.

I was wondering why Katarina Witt would post things about U.S. Junior Ice Dancing couples, and then I scrolled down.

Apparently, I am old.
