Dan Zhang & Hao Zhang

I'm not really into the Olympics -- much less so figure skating -- but my wife brought this to my attention tonight. Check out one helluva a spill by Zhang Dan, coming out of a throw by her partner. Her knees must be destroyed -- and I can't imagine the pain she must have felt. Amazingly, after the fall, Zhang did not leave the ice -- nor did she throw in the towel. The 20-year-old went right back at it with her partner and continued skating -- going on to win the silver medal -- the highest medal achieved by the Chinese in the figure skating event. Truly, an amazing and courageous young woman.
