None of those girls were trapped in a Covid bubble for weeks with the shock of having a teammate accused of doping - I cannot imagine the stress and pressure, wondering if another shoe was going to drop and if they were going to come for me next, trying to avoid the media jackals, dealing with a coaching team that was at the very least highly distracted and likely on edge far more than usual. In no way can you compare Sasha's situation to anyone who came before. I felt traumatized and I wasn't even there! I'm not even normally invested in ladies' skating at all, I far prefer the men. But the whole thing was like a Greek tragedy...it makes Alina vs Evgenia look like an episode of Sesame Street.A teenaged Peggy Fleming, Janet Lynn, or Michelle Kwan would have gritted her teeth off camera for two seconds at most and then gone into the interview to say with a smile, "She skated better than I did today."
