Who the hell decided that it would be better if, instead of just wearing skates that looked like skates, women figure skaters should stretch their pantyhose down over the outside of their boots so it looks like they've got hideously misshapen feet with blades growing out of them?
Is this the first step on the road to some futuristic world in which skaters are genetically engineered to just have organic blades that are a real part of their bodies?
Hmm...mutant skaters. Tonya Harding could lead them!
