It is always fun to watch a child who has such a passion in their field of choice, that they give it 100% effort.
Two of these children who came from completely different backgrounds, not speaking each others language, could communicate solely with their love of figure skating.
Harley, a sweet young indigenous boy from Australia is paired with a tiny Russian girl who is driven from a very young age to win. Both are willing to make skating their priority in life with hopes of winning an Olympic medal.
I had worries about Katya leaving Russia and becoming an Australian citizen. Red flags flew up in my mind.
Harley & Katya skated so beautifully together. It was wonderful to watch them skate at competitions.
It is well known that as a Russian there are dire consequences for failure. Katya was well aware of that since her coach was constantly yelling at her to do better.'
The result of Katya's decision to go back to Russia to perfect her skating along with Harley as her partner no doubt was an embarrassment to the Russians.
Finding out that her health was failing to the point where she could no longer skate, was, in my opinion the final nail in the coffin for her.
Russians are brutal and when they are unhappy with you because you have shamed the motherland, and suddenly fall out of a window, I find it hard to believe that she took her own life.
I wonder if anyone will agree with my suspicions.
