Watched the D&L OD mishap in slow motion on the CBC post-comments segment (Brian Williams and Lori Nicol) last night. According to Lori Nicol, and from what I could see (the camera angle wasn't great), Marie-France's fingers were gradually being pulled apart from the centrifical force of the spin. She let go first and Patrice of course, could not prevent the fall because all he had was a hold on her knee.
CBC interviewed Patrice this afternoon. Showed him practicing alone. Later he said Marie-France went to the hospital, was x-rayed, and was diagnosed with a deep tissue and bone bruise. They are waiting until closer to the event today to see if freezing her hip would actually help her enough to get her through the FD.
Just my opinion, but Patrice neither looked nor sounded hopeful during the interview. :disapp: Here is hoping the hours inbetween his interview and the event tonight will do two things: give the team enough time to mentally get over the accident and give Marie-France enough energy to truly perform in the FD.
