I must admit that in a way I'm relieved as I've been concerned, for some time, that Alissa might eventually permanently injure herself. She has been IMO *the* most elegant skater (I think her Sabrina LP was the best--evah!!!) Maybe she could do some commentary during the Olympics & in the future - she's articulate, she's a two time US champ. She's got a lot to offer TV and her sport.
It is such a shame that she started out with terrible jumping technique. Not one jump was solid, she was liable to go down on anything and sometimes she did. I think her overall skating would have improved as well if she had a solid technique so she wouldn't have been so scared tentatively stalking every jump.
