*in the SF, JH had a double-dose of ‘unlucky’ in one of the more spectacular crashes we’ve seen in awhile - he fell, but as he recovered and was finishing the race, he became collateral damage in a separate crash between 2 other skaters who careened into him and took him out violently. Thankfully, it only resulted in a few stitches to JH’s chin (as of the last we heard)…
