Interview with Adelina that Mony posted in her Fan Fest: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...na-Sotnikova&p=1016001&viewfull=1#post1016001
To summarize: She really wanted to skate and show her new programs. Her leg has been bothering her for a while but she kept training. She fell on a triple flip in practice and felt an excruciating pain. MRT came back as a torn ankle ligament, and her foot's in a cast now. And the crazy girl even asked her doctors if she could put blades on the cast and skate that way! (I'm tempted to channel my inner old man and grumble, "Kids these days...")

I guess she could be carrying her head under her arm Sleepy-Hollow-style and you'd still find somebody who says "can't you just walk that off or something?"Questionable withdrawal? She's injured! Some of y'all are too much.

I hope she feels better soon if everything is 100% true.

Maybe there is a curse and Olympic champions shouldn´t even intent to compete the year after they medal... 
You might be on to something... Tessa Virtue was also injured in the 2010-11 season, while Yuna had a subpar skate at 2011 Worlds and was beaten by a likewise underwhelming Miki Ando.Maybe there is a curse and Olympic champions shouldn´t even intent to compete the year after they medal...
It's just a flesh wound!
Well basically Yuna hadn't competed all season before Worlds so she was rusty more then anything and really only skated to get the spots for South Korea.

Per Nick Zaccardi @nzaccardi:
Yuzuru Hanyu is the first singles skater to win Olympic gold and complete two programs in the following season's Grand Prix series.

In 2002, Alexei Yagudin won gold and WD after Skate America SP months later. No other male/female Olympic champ skated in next season's GP.

Hmmm ... Sarah Hughes comes to mind.

And it seemed like all the powers in the world tried to stop it from happening. Maybe he broke the curse and the last victim was claimed. He definitely looked war torn and tattered in the process.

But ... Sarah Hughes did not compete in any 2002 GPs, according to her ISU and USFSA bios.
Hughes suffered from a torn muscle behind her right knee in fall 2002 and was unable to compete in the Grand Prix Series.
Hughes was scheduled to compete in two ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating events - Smart Ones Skate America and Skate Canada. However, a sudden injury forced her to withdraw from both events on Oct. 17.
What is listed as the 2002 GPF in Kitchener took place in Dec 2001.
Ouch that sucks.
It's especially hard to recover from psychologically because it's very easy to start wondering "is this the jump where I twist it again?" at every jump. When I was doing gymnastics, that was more or less the reason I stopped doing aerials....And he only needed three staples in the head and seven stitches in the chin to do it...
Anyways, I hope Adelina gets better soon without any complications. I was looking forward to seeing her skate this season!

All thanks to DobrinFan's post in her fan thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-kpaablJVI&feature=youtu.be
Im sayin she might be injured or ill prepared, as reigning Olympic champion its better to withdraw her than compete and place as low as 5th and not even making the GPF. why only fancams were uploaded and not on that fsrussia youtube page even Stolbova/ Klimov got uploaded only Sotnikova wasnt.

So the curse has been broken by Yuzuru, I suppose? :think:
Except he might not be able to compete at NHK. Maybe someone needs to make it all the way through the series for it to be broken? :think: I mean, Yagudin technically competed at SA...
