^I think 3 weeks is enough for him to recover, the doctor said so. But to be able to compete he forced himself to start training after just 10 days after the collision instead of 2-3 weeks as required. And in Han Yan's case it's 4 days!!
I talked wih Chinese fans who translated and sent my get well messages to Han Yan to his blog. They said the doctor's recommendation might be okay if you were normal people with normal dose of activities. But these 2 young men are athletes, top skaters who train themselves extensively with difficult jumps and footwork everyday. It's harder for them to get back to their top form with all the early training of course.
Yes, they might not be in terrible state, they might be just so so now. But that's why I think they shouldn't skate so soon. Since more training, competitions and pressure might take toll on their healing body. For sure I don't think they couldn't walk, couldn't play or anything. But to compete at the top level, I don't think they are ready yet. Same thing for Joshi, who withdrew from CoR right after her SP. I was so relieved that she withdrew.
If anything I am furious at Han Yan and Yuzuru for pushing their bodies so much. But I can't get angry at them.
