Yo...everyone getting annoyed that Nathan is doubling his axel. News flash, it's intentional....he broke his hip 8 months ago, like broke his HIP! It's amazing he his even still skating, not to mention adding 2 new quads on top of that. The axel is still a danger to his hip because of the forward entry take off. The swing through of the free leg going up and over has to snap thru hard and very quickly to get all of his weight transferred, balanced, and rotating on his landing side. The momentum and motion for a quick twitch required in an axel to turn a rotated triple is high risk for a hip injury, especially on a hip that has been broken and is still undergoing physical therapy to strengthen. So far this season he is currently rotating the jumps the doctor has cleared him to do as he is still in recovery. So let's all marvel at how super human his come back to competitive ice has been and celebrate the technical accomplishments he's made in spite of what for many has been a career ending injury, i.e. Tara Lipinski...
