Yulia Lipnitskaya

:cry:
Yulia won't be taking part in the Nationals due to an injury - http://www.fsrussia.ru/news/2683-yu...pit-na-chempionate-rossii-v-chelyabinske.html

She slipped today in the street walking from the practice and has injury of hip joint and of small of the back which will take at least 2-3 weeks to heal.
I just found out. What a terrible news. So unlucky. I actually get what she is feeling right now, I once got injured at the first day of my vacation, spent more than 1 month in bed afterwards. Ohh... Get well soon Yulia!

Yup, bad news :sad21::

http://www.fsrussia.ru/news/2683-yu...pit-na-chempionate-rossii-v-chelyabinske.html

On Dec. 18, while walking back from training, Julia Lipnitskaia fell on a slippery sidewalk. She has damaged her hip axis along with her lower spine. The diagnosis is a post-traumatic cervical arthritis along with a right hip bone bruise. The nature of such damage will not allow Lipnitskaia to compete at the Russsian Nationals since the minimal course of treatment takes 14-17 days (So that's Jan 1-4, at best, and Rus. Nats are Dec. 22-25 :()

Not like she was gonna make the top 3 anyway.... :sad21: Get well you sunny and flexible artist!

According to Mr Urmanov, Yulia's "bones are intact, most importantly", but will miss Nationals, Euros and Worlds.

I don't care about the championships or the results, placements etc....but can this universe please grant Yulia some good health, luck and happiness in the coming year! PLEASE!!!
 
There are still minor competitions coming, so maybe Julia will take part in one (like she did last season), but yeah I don't think she and her team will risk it. Or if they do, then hopefully that means that the injury isn't too bad, especially if, as Urmanov said, her bones are intact.
Seriously, I'm not even a fan of Julia, but I wish this stroke of bad luck would just STOP. Seriously, that poor girl... it's like Murphy's Law.
 
I hope she can compete again this season, because at the moment she is too low on the seasons best list to get any GP next year beyond a host pick :(
 
a few articles saying her season isn't exactly over yet...

anyways i think she needs a to take the olympic season off from competitive skating. this will almost certainly drain her mind of the pressure to perform, which i think is her main problem. she needs to learn to let go. i'm not buying all the shenanigans regarding injuries, problems with her equipment, and so on. her problem is the persistent burden of the high expectations placed on her after the sochi team event, which, btw, she should never have competed in. maybe she should even retire and skate professionally. her extraordinarily beautiful skating style is well-suited for this even compared to the other top russian ladies. she already has fame and even an iconic program which she'll likely never surpass. she even has a silver world medal, an olympic gold team medal, and a junior world medal. she has a legendary performance at 2014 euro's where she nearly broke the world record at 15 years old. she has accomplished a lot. the new russian ladies are coming in with superior training compared to what yulia received growing up. her and adelina were at the spearhead of the russian renaissance. eteri and the other coaches have been learning too, and it is (generally) showing more and more in each season's new batch of russian ladies. honestly though i still hold out hope for yulia simply because i can imagine that with her lovely skating and spins she can compete with even the best so long as her jumps are in order. none of the russian ladies, not even medvedeva, has yulia's beautiful skating and spins. but i really think yulia needs to learn to let go. this is the only way to beat the pressure.

Sorry but those articles do not state where and when she might compete after she is healed. Those are all saying that they have no idea when she will be able to compete again. TAT says she has to get ready for the next season and take part in small local competitions when she can.
As per her sitting oot the Olympic season- she has a contract with a major sponsor and my guess she will heal first and then try and get back to competitions as soon as she can. I don't think her competitive career is over. After 2018 Olympics that contract is no longer valid so she will make her mind after that. For now- she is not done yet.
 
I hope that Yulia would be able to get to some minor international competitions this season or to the Russian Cup Final...
 
Sooo sorry to hear this sudden and bad news ... No luck at all in this competition period of 2016... Fortunately, nothing is broken, so I just wish her a speedy and complete recovery! And remember to keep the spirits hight, no matter what!

By the way: A lot of similarity with the 2012 year, isn't it ?

Hope to see her still in some competitions in the coming year ... "Kill Bill" deserves to be fully seen ...
And perhaps ... why not keeping the short and the long also for 2017-2018?
