Ex) Fasting (Leviticus 16:29-31) - “You afflict yourselves” is a literary expression of fasting.
God said to fast on the Day of Atonement, but people made several fasts
Fasting from sunrise to sunset (Judges 20:26, 1 Samuel 14:24), 7 days of fasting (1 Samuel 31:13)
Fasting for three weeks (Daniel 10:3), 40 days fast, 5th/7th month fasting (Zechariah 7:3-5), etc.
People made many fasts (the Pharisees fasted Monday and Thursday)

However, the current ice skating players including Yuna Kim, and even athletes like Park Tae-hwan, are just doing it because they are good.
It's about enjoying the game.
Breaking the existing paradigm, they put their thoughts into a new leather bag and acted.
