Figure skating silver medalist Trusova says she'll 'never go on the ice again'

There's no telling how far the ripple effects of the Beijing Olympics figure-skating mayhem will go.

An event filled with controversy continued to deliver disappointment, with silver medalist and rising star Alexandra Trusova vowing never to skate again after Tuesday's results.

“Everyone has a gold medal, everyone, but not me,” Trusova said, according to The Guardian. “I hate skating. I hate it. I hate this sport. I will never go out on the ice again! Never! I hate! It’s impossible, it’s impossible! You can not do it this way.”

The 17-year-old Trusova may have had good reason for the outburst.
