This was posted on the usfsa site ... looks like Bebe has withdrawn due to an injury.
Too bad for her ... I hope she is able to compete at some point this season.

Oh no! Not again! I really gained a new respect for Bebe after seeing her at Nationals this year. She is an incredible skater to see live. She has such a presence on the ice and her jumps are beautiful. She was nailing them left and right in her warm-up group and they were all beauties...then she bombed in the freeskate. But, I have hope for her. She has the potential to be a phenomenal skater.

That is very unfortuante :( I've really grown to love Bebe's skating and think she's the most interesting US lady for now. I hope she's not over-training herself. I'd really like to see her go to Worlds this year...it's about time.

Oh, that's just terrible news. Her next scheduled international event is NHK on November 4. Plenty of time for a full recovery, I hope.

I wonder who they will consider sending in her place. AP McDonough and Jennifer Don are scheduled only for the Finlandia event this year (a step backward for former Grand prix hopeful AP). Also Algela Nikodinov is a strong senior lady with only one scheduled international appearance (Skate America).

What about Yebin Mok? I don't see her anywhere.

:( Hope she has a speedy recovery!

This is horrendous news for me. I'm afraid she is going the way of NNN. She needs the practice of these int'l events, although minor, they carry some clout. Well, it a let's see and a let's hope.

Anyone know what kind of injury it was?
