Defenestration. One of Putin’s favorite methods of getting rid of people that make him nervous, has apparently happened to this young talented skater. The more I read the article the worse it looks. Official claim: depression, recently had to quit the sport because of epilepsy, rings hollow to me.
Olympic athletes are characters on another level, they have a drive and will that is beyond what many folks ever dream of. Disclaimer- I lived with a former olympic cross country skier for many years unfortunately not now. She could run until her feet bled and her hydration was gone, and go fast the whole time. Every single day except Sunday. When her leg was torn with a muscle or ligament, she had to stop running. Never thought of killing herself, she did rigorous exercises and yoga for months to heal, but never completely recovered. It takes more than a normal person to reach this level. I think the girl was murdered. Putin is nothing but a piece of complete garbage and needs to be taken to the woodshed or worse.
Of course its possible that the official story is true. Problem is, Putin has a very bad track record on this stuff, and I got a feeling he’s blowing smoke again.
