"Instead"??? Nathan did have a serious injury of his own.
:agree: I too was impressed by Karen's Insta Lives. She showed maturity, honesty, humor, self-deprecation, and more. She was very informative and encouraging to skaters who asked her about technique, training, nerves, etc.
And I think it was a pleasant surprise to Karen herself that she really enjoyed answering the large volume of all kinds of questions. The first time she thought she was going to just spend ten minutes, but she ended up staying for a full hour. And doing another full hour the next day.
I had forgotten about Nathan's injury-and it was a horrible one. And yet, he did come back, 100%, plus some.
It's a sport. Injuries happen, and yes, some of those injuries will have life long consequences. No different from almost any other sport.
