Figure skating is actually one of the most hardcore sports there is, my son is 8 years old and competes in the sport, training 6-8 times a week. Think Thierry the master of technique would love it, sure the French legend of figure skating could teach him a few tricks.....check out her back flip in the video....then a triple s, crazy!
