If you have to do something...

We caught up on the men’s and women’s solo figure skating. What the literal flip 🤯
When my daughter ice skated competitively....one of the coaches at the rink could do that backflip. Every so often...during a competition....they would convince HER to go out and do the backflip. Impressive but very unnecessary.
