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 can't believe you're actually saying that when the injury has been identified as TORN LIGAMENTS.
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...

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.You might be on to something...

Yuzuru Hanyu is the first singles skater to win Olympic gold and complete two programs in the following season's Grand Prix series.
Hmmm ... Sarah Hughes comes to mind.
It's her right ankle. She already posted a photo on instagram. And that's the leg she uses to land her jumps (even though she is left-handed).

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.

Is there any video of the full LP Adelina skated recently at the Russian competition?
You can see fancams of her videos. She still has her triple jumps, but something clearly isn't right with her--she's not landing her jumps with the same quality she usually does (even when she has a breakdown, like she did at GPF, her jumps are still good when landed).
I don't understand what you're implying. You suspect she's injured, but then say they're just saving face by withdrawing her due to "injury" (now implying the injury is fake). It's not a conspiracy to withdraw a genuinely injured skater, regardless of who that skater is.
So the curse has been broken by Yuzuru, I suppose? :think: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.
