You have to have a clean skate, prove to the world that women belong and that we can skate just like the men.” Well, she definitely did that, and many of the men’s players were excited about her showing, which Hersch told Forbes contributor Carol Schram was great to see: The remarks at the end there are particularly notable, with Coyne Schofield saying “The weight I felt on my shoulders as a woman in that situation, I knew there was no messing up, there was no falling, there was no stumbling, there was no do-over.
