Liza LP, fall at 2 min mark, looks like she came down on her right ankle all wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUjaUiznBS9O3SeqwqlIc4UQ&v=MgqdNt4SXS4&feature=player_detailpage
As they awkwardly continue to play her music :scratch:

Liza chose the Latin themes. The skaters make the music choices.
But let's not let the facts get in the way of some Mishin-bashing.

Oh, poor Liza... Get well, and rest - and come back next season with fresh energy and confidence!
I suppose that if it had to happen it's better that it did so at the tail end of the season - this will give her longer to heal, and less temptation to come back to the ice prematurely.

Sadly, it has been reported in this article, that Liza T has sustained a torn ankle ligament. How awful! Obviously, a serious injury. Really do hope she can come back from this
Anyone know what the recovery time for a figure skater is for that type of injury?
*an interesting note that they said the second spot has yet to be announced for Worlds, is there some reason to suggest that Lipnitskaia might not be going?
And I am really angry with Mishin - he didn't even attempt to help Liza! Could he not have opened the gate sooner, rather than leave her hanging onto the boards doubled up in pain?! Like, even when he did open it, he didn't even attempt to help her off the ice!

I know Liza likes tangos but maybe mishin could've just said no or whatever. Like "your pcs is going down and deteriorating time to do something else!"
I'm so sorry to hear about Liza's injury. A torn ligament may need surgery, yes? What a setback.
Depends on which ligament(s), how bad the tear is, resulting joint instability, etc. I went down on my left ankle exactly like that on a stupid fall. The ligament didn't give but I ended up breaking a couple bones instead. So from the looks of it it's most likely severe.
so depressing, Tuks career might go downwards further from here
shades of Rachel Flatt's career there
I don't think it's comparable, Sky. Rachael was older and was already devoting herself to university studies. I think Liza lives and breathes for skating, and she's younger and has no other chronic injuries that I know of. (Remember that Rachael has that ongoing back problem.)
I don't know what the prognosis is for this kind of surgery (assuming that surgery would be needed to reattach and strengthen the ligament, and some form of less invasive microsurgery could be possible, as it was for gymnast Mary Lou Retton just before the 1984 Olympics), but I don't think this injury is as dire as an ACL knee injury, and look how Daisuke came back from that injury. Don't give up on Liza yet!
