Injured partner

(sorry for the bad english)

Don't quit, she forgave you. It should be easier to forgive yourself now. Don't quit anon

It's easy for her because she doesn't remember the accident at all.
I had to call the ambulance while she was unconscious, I thought she was going to die

First of all congrats on something that I could never do, being able to even seriously attempt something like that is quite an accomplishment.

Second, mistakes happen. You didn't mean to drop her, it was an accident. That's what practice/training is for. You probably aren't the first figure skater to do something like this, and I understand how you could be feeling guilty, but you have to remember:

1) Your partner didn't die/get paralyzed/slip into a coma. From what it sounds like, she's going to be 100% okay and back to skating at some point. So while shitty, it was nowhere near as bad as it could have been.
2) She's forgiven you, and asked you to skate with her again, even saying she counts on you, so she clearly still trusts you even though you had an accident. She sounds like a good partner.

I'd say talk to her. Tell her how you feel. She's the most important party involved other than yourself, and if she's as understanding as she seems, she should try and help you work through some of your guilty feelings.

Then, get back into it slowly. I don't know much about how figure skaters practice moves like that, but start from ground zero and work up as you get more comfortable. You're clearly aware of how the move went awry, so you can focus on correcting that mistake the next time you practice the move.

Forgive yourself, my friend. Accidents are accidents. Don't quit.

Improve for your partners sake.

If you learn from your mistake then don't quit.
If you did not learn from your mistake, or feel confident that you did, tell her that you fear doing it again and must quit.

It's probably not about level. It was such a silly mistake, I still don't know why I threw her. It happened hundreds of time to feel that the throw will not be okey, and in this case I don't throw her.

I still have no idea why this time I made such a begginer's mistake

I'm afraid that I won't be able to throw her at all, even starting slow...
I've always known there was an accident risk but I never lived it myself.
Without 100% trust skating in pairs is more than dangerous, especially for the girl

>>18075865
And she's the one who could have actually fucking died, yet she still forgave you.

>>18075966

To be honest she forgave me but I don't know what she really thinks.
She's very introverted (not, she just doesn't need to express her feelings) and I can never know hat she thinks. I thought she would be mad at me when she waoke up, I was really surprised...
She might have said that only to cheer me up

>>18075836

Isn't this the plot to some shitty ice skating movie?

Fuck that, just quit. You don't need to have something wrong with your technique to decide it's not worth it to you risking someone else's life for ice skating.

That's my way of reasoning too... I'll guess I'll just have to be honest

My girlfriend is a figure skating coach and former skater. I can't believe how hard you guys are on your body! Yikes... such a rough sport.

Yeah, we're used to deal with pains and injuries,
