            BOLERO WAS NEVER A PROGRAM FOR ZARA MALININA.

            It was supposed to be a statement. A statement that yes she can still do quads, yes she can still set world record after world records, and that nobody is a bigger contender for 2026 milano cortina olympics than her.

            Perhaps, if her body allowed even 2030 French olympics. She wanted to prove to every skater and their coach that she's still one of, if not the best in the game of ladies figure skating.

            She specifically chose bolero as music because how hard it is to perform to it. By the time music slowly builds up the skater is already tired. The touch of Maurice Ravel's music and her four quads making the program more tough to perfrom.

            Maybe she pushed herself too far, a tale as old as time.

            Her coach pointed out how ridiculous the idea of four quads in one program was for a skater who was just returing to ice. More so for her, she not only have a reputation and title of an olympic champion but because her jumps are just too powerful. One wrong move and her ankle or body could be at severe disadvantage.

            But was the ever stubborn Zara Malinina going to listen to anyone? No.

            So there she stood on the ice, hands stretched behind her back, in her position. She landed her first quad salchow. And then began the masterclass of disaster.

            She stumbled on the landing of her second quad jump which was in combination making her miss on the timing of her euler jump. Zara had to turn her double salchow to a triple axel to save her score.

            Physics may be out of Zara's skill set but she really need to watch the highlights of her program to know how she feel on her quad toe. It didn’t opened up early, was rotated well but she still somehow fell and hitted her head on ice. Although not bad enough to be seriously injured but enough to get atleast a minor concussion.
