In training he couldn't remember having skated one time. We initially thought he was suffering really bad motion sickness after flying, but by all accounts - reading on here - there seems to be more going on than just motion sickness. Also apparantly he suffered a stroke some years ago as a result of a neck injury; being hit in the neck while playing rugby. I'm not saying that has any bearing but it does seem likely, not so much the stroke as such but perhaps the injury to the neck - that's just my thoughts.
