legend

[@annep.1905]

So I heard that landing a quad means you come down with 7 times the force of your body weight on your landing foot. How does that affect your joints - especially your knees and ankles?

[@gracesss1272]

Anne P. Good question I am wondering that now too :)

[@alexisraelyan9640]

Anne P. Nothing noticeable now , will be a struggle some 30 years later ...

[@oracle4513]

People tend to have a lot of problems around the joints in their knees ankles and hip because of that. But even just on doubles it puts a lot of strain on your body.

[@tranghoang97]

That is why he will probably retire after another Olympic because it takes so much toll on the body!

[@thisisneverthat3210]

Anne P. It's all because of the skates (boots). I studied the physics of figure skating and it really gave me a better understanding of the sport.

[@chonaV]

Too bad you didn’t bring the key in the team skating competition.

[@anasanchezism]

Boohoo, he’s a Gold Medalist. What about you, other than typing negative comments on the Internet?

[@markpeterson9815]

I know that was 4 years ago comments but that’s very unkind remarks to Nathan. No one can be perfect every performance but Nathan is pretty spectacular.
