Kristine Musademba

I posted this sad news over at FSU yesterday...

Unfortunately, Kristine Musademba has withdrawn from 2010 US Nationals. She is no longer listed in Championship Ladies Practice Group A as of yesterday (link to the Practice Groups thread in the Nationals forum: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?p=440237#post440237 ) , and she has been replaced by Rebecca Stern (5th at Easterns).

Kristine won the gold medal at the Lake Placid JGP earlier this season and placed 11th in her senior debut at 2009 Nationals. I assume she hasn't fully recovered from her ankle injury that limited her at Eastern Sectionals last month, but I don't know anything for certain. I wish her all the best and hope to see her back in fine form next season.

I came across these two postiive posts about Kristine from last month in the Nagasu thread:

I'll be the second. I saw her at Michael Weiss' show in September and she ROCKED. I'd never seen her before.

I'm just sorry that I had to start this thread for her with bad news.

Sucks. I was actually curious to see her progress this season.

so sad to hear this. hopefully she'll come back strong. thank you for the update.

This is a big disappointment, for us and for her. She's such a strong, talented skater! Get better soon, Kristine!

Sorry to hear this news. Best wishes to Kristine for a full recovery.
