Fifteen: the new 30 in figure skating. : One wonders what we are doing to these young women in the name of sport. The little jumping beans are rising and falling faster than ever.
Gah. This is just fucked up. I'd like to post a more thoughtful, well-reasoned response, but, yeah.
I guess I'll have to cross this, along with ballet, off the list of "things I want my daughter to do."

"The little jumping beans"???
I must have missed the Mexican skaters.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Anyway, while I have never been a fan of figure skating as an Olympic sport, this seals it for me.
