Why do we feel more emotional watching a figure skating program than a gymnastics floor routine?

Figure skating vs gymnastics and scoliosiis?

• I have a 55* thoracic scoliosis and a 35* lumbar scoliosis I've been doing gymnastics for a year but I went Ice skating n it's also really fun I even taught my self how to spin around in one spot and skate backwards In just and hour and a half this is my first time!!! I can do these moves wen ever I want it's not like I'm skating and randomly I spin I can do these moves by will but I also have blisters I used rental skates um probably Gunna have surgery soon so which should I chose gymnastics(level 5 almost level 6) or figure skating and why thx (:

• Answer:

  My mom has scoliosis, so I know it can be a real drag at times. I recommend keeping your doctors aware of what you're doing. Sure, there's a chance you could hurt yourself in an unusual way because of your condition. But you could also help your condition by strengthening your back and taking some of the load off of your spine. That's why my mom's doctors are trying to do with her. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery, that it's a complete success and you have a speedy recovery. But remember that your body will be different afterwards. Some things will be easier, some things will be harder. Don't beat yourself up over the things that become harder; there's nothing you can do about that. Really, best of luck!
