She Fell!

I am going to comment in a slightly charitable manner for the first time ever. She fell numerous times to allow her fellow ROC teammates to participate in the award ceremony, knowing she would not place. If she had placed then the Olympics were not going to conduct a medals ceremony while she was under investigation. In this sense, she fell on her own sword, and in so doing, she did the right thing. Yes, I’m saying she did it on purpose. Being the contrarian, I do not think she cracked under pressure as the common belief seems to be; she performed just fine in the short program, so I think she knows how to handle pressure. Yes, yes! I know that the long program is tougher. But it’s not her first time at the rodeo. Of course, it’s possible (perhaps likely) the pressure got to her, but I choose to believe she made an intentional sacrifice for her team — call me a humanist!
