I didn't read all the thread but he is absolutely right. Chen hurt his hip last year and missed worlds. It could have been worse. Joshua and his concussions. Ankle injuries... FS is a very painful sport and if your bones aren't strong enough you're gonna regret it.
Doens't matter if Patrick is sincere or not, if he is making some publicity for himself or not, I don't care. But I don't want him to skip olympics because of an injury for practising too much quads. And this is for all the skaters. When you see Hanyu at gala practices throwning 20 quads every 30 minutes, knowing it can take just one to put you down, you DO wonder.
And the worst that could happen are concussions. Hip, ankle, knee, okay... but you need your head and your brain to live properly.
