Just finished watching the interview with Rafael A. and he states that girls in particular are ruing their bodies (not yet but in the future) by doing all of these quads and calls out the doctors and federation on this. I'm curious to know by someone with some type of medical degree if there is a safe time when a girl can practice these jumps without damaging their bodies?
The only thing I would recommend is limiting the amount of quads they practice daily but there is no guarantee that would prevent long lasting injuries. The massive triple axels that Tonya and Midori performed did not destroyed their bodies and those jumps were way bigger and more powerful than the quads being performed today.
