Does anyone else watch figure skating just to?

Question

watch them fall? :)

Answer 1

yea, i also watch nascar just to see wrecks and hockey to see fights...

Answer 2

No way!  I hold my breath when they jump, hoping they don't fall!  Jumping is hard, especially triples, which is what is usually shown on TV.  Skaters only really get one shot to get it right.  One fall could blow all the work they've been doing all season.  Skating's not like football, baseball, basketball or hockey where if you mess up on your first try, you get another shot....or if you wipe out, it's no biggie.  For example if a quarter back throws his first pass of the game and it's incomplete, he may not have a chance to fix it or come back....unless the other team blows it too.  It's a lot of pressure.  Skaters have to be darn near perfect all the time and if they mess up, they better start praying that the other skaters do too.  So when they fall, just think they spent months to years prior to that fall working on their performance only to have it possibly be toast within a few seconds.

I'd rather watch public skaters to watch them fall and flail around -- they usually have more dramatic crashes and burns!  :)~

Answer 3

Not always but I have to admit it I sometimes am amused by it. But not when they get hurt or lose because of it! I just like it when they like slide really far on they're booties.  0___o

My brother actually likes to see the falls, personally I know what it feels like to fall (the humiliation little loan the pain from falling) so watching to see a skater fall not really.
