Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Olympic figure skating champion Anna Shcherbakova has explained why she only performed two quadruple jumps in a free program at the Beijing Games.

“During training in Beijing, I was able to skate with three quadruple jumps. But in competition, I decided to skate with two.

I am willing to take risks, but only if the risk is justified. I’m happy that it was at the Olympics that I managed to show two flawless programs and the best result of the season,” Shcherbakova wrote on The Owl Post.

Recall that Shcherbakova is also world champion and three-time Russian champion.
