I wonder how it happened. Skating boots create many degrees of protection but are also remarkably un-anatomical.
Best wishes for a complete and timely recovery.
If Korpi cannot attend Nebelhorn, Finland would need a good score from Turkkila to secure a ladies spot. Am I getting it right? If that’s the case I wonder what shape Turkkila is in at this time of year.
Kiira's been in and out of competition over the past two years because of pain in her Achilles. Achilles tendon injuries are notoriously slow to heal and frequently recur once strenuous activity is resumed.
It's pretty clear that Kiira will be out of the GP and Sochi is very doubtful.
Vanessa James just informed on facebook that Morgan Cipres was back on the ice today after surgery, and that they will be ready and in form for TEB as they're first event
I have a silly question. Why haven't they replaced Joubert and Ten with other skaters in Skate America? In Ten's case I kind of understand since he retired from this competition only recently. But Joubert's case is different, isn't it. ISU has replaced those female skaters who cancelled their participation in this year's GP, such as Korpi and Kim. Now that I'm checking again I notice that Joshi Helgesson isn't going to Cup of China (still struggling with her foot injury?). There's nobody yet listed to replace her.
Edit: Only learned now that Joubert was forced to retire only recently. I thought it happened some weeks ago already.
