Ice skating injuries?

how many ice skating injuries has ever happened and what happened?

Ice skating injuries?
You can't actually count how many ice skating injures has occured. But one of the most serious injuries I can think of is in pair skating between Tatiana Totmianina and her skating partner Maxim Marinin. In November 2004, during the free skate of Skate America in Pittsburgh, Marinin lost his balance while attempting a difficult lasso lift and Tatiana slammed to the ice head first. She suffered a severe concussion and spent the night in a local hospital. Totmianina recovered from her injuries rapidly and was able to return to the ice within days. She often stated that she has no memory of the incident and this made it easy for her to return to the ice. Marinin, however, had to start seeing a sport psychologist to overcome his fears. Both admitted that Marinin's fears were so great that it was nearly impossible for them to continue skating.
