I was thinking the exact same thing. The amount of pressure they're already under is incredible, now the system heaps YET more pressure on them? It's completely brutal and borderline cruel, I think. People wound so tight are bound to snap. Yeah, we all want excellence, but I really do not see the need to go that far.
Oh yeah, the girl's okay. It looked bad, but she got right up and walked off without a problem. I don't think she suffered any injury other than maybe some bruises later on, but it was definitely a hard knock psychologically.
