I'm blaming them...

Thanks. I thought was a low penalty for him. The original report has been corrected to 8 years now too I see.

I've have thought he would be banned for longer than 8 months. 8 years seems fair.

The problem with aerials / big air is when you mess up, come down vertically and land on your neck. I hate to say this but i fully expect someone to be paralysed or suffer a severe brain injury between now and the Olympic final. The bigger the prize, the more risks are taken. I quite like the idea of head to head 100m races. 32 skaters. Round 1, last 16. QF. SF. final. BTW "Ice cross downhill" = Red Bull sponsored Crashed Ice events
