But even though it hurts, you still have to skate. But when I'm on the ice, I can't shut off my feelings. I probably feel things more , not less. I'm not one of those skaters like Larissa who can block out all her problems and do a perfect program. I don't ever want you to be that hard.
Some people are too tough for their own good.
Larissa is one of them. Elsa was also thinking of Helga, of course. And Leroy was getting to be that way as well. On the ice, nothing bothers them. But afterwards, they pay a price for it.
