That is why his right foot and leg were already in the air, as that is the natural reaction when you feel a blade digging in, you get it out of that rut right away. At the same time he caught that rut, Gagner’s stick took his left skate blade out. And Gagner wasn’t close enough anymore for his arm to push off Gagner’s back.
With his right leg catching the rut, and his leg out of control in the air on one side of his body, his plant leg then pushed out from under him, and his arm out already since it missed the push off of Gagner, it looks more spectacular then intended.

Dude. He went airborne from a stick tapping his skate. It's the worst dive I've seen all season.
