I don't read anyone saying there was a lock on S&Z for gold.The fans were looking forward to the competition with T&M who all seem to agree have improved. This may very well not happen because of Zhao's injuries. Over an out. His numerous injuries in the past years are certainly noted by all but their fans continue to hold hope. This is understandable.soogar said:To be realistic, Shen and Zhao were not a lock for gold in the Olympics and I didn't think that they would have even been a significant factor in 2006 without the achilles injury. This team has been battling injuries for the past 2 years (hers and his) and T&M are very strong skaters.
jesslily said:I wish Shen and Zhao know about our thread and how many fans in US love and support their skating...at least they'd feel a little better...I realize how down they could be...hope Zhao will recover in 3 months and they could have two months or so to get some solid training...
None of us know how Zhao will heel
