I used to knock about with a few skaters who turned pro and buggered off to California to skate. The skill involved pretty impressive and they sustained some pretty awful injuries at times.

amazing job really enjoyed watching that, how supportive they all were of each other, rushing over to congratulate even a failed run

She isn't the youngest, though - the silver medal went to a 12 year old.
