Despite the fact that many of these athletes wear ridiculous outfits and skate to some pretty lame music, some of these figure skaters are actually pretty tough when you get down to it.

Take Canada’s Eric Radford, for example, who was elbowed in the nose by his partner, Meagan Duhamel, at the beginning of their pairs short program at the World Figure Skating Championships last month.

This dude is a trooper.
