My Dad once complained for me because our Aussie Skate group went right after the ice resurface. There was a huge chunk of ice sitting on the surface (like, a block), right where I came out of my last waltz 3 in my program. I was the only skater with that much ice coverage. Anyway, I looked at it in the warmup, and just decided not to think about it. When I came off after my program, Dad made jokes about me "sweeping the stage" (rallying parlance = first car on the road in a rally tends to be referred to as "sweeping the stage" because they tend to sweep the gravel off the racing line).
It wasn't until I watched the video of my program that I realised I came within 10cm of this block of ice, and actually sent it skidding away.
