poor kevin!!!

nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oh NOoooooo

I'm in a nightmare now. Someone wake me up.

I honestly want to cry now.

"I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia...."

This doesn't feel real. No no no no no no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not fair for him. NOT FAIR!

Poor Kevin. All I can hope is that they really can work on getting his problems sorted.

I'll also "collect" the Kevin thread here, as it comes under "other ills".

Kevin Reynolds continues to struggle with skate problems

Also to note that it was mentioned in a Skate Amerca thread that Denis Ten has been suffering from flu - hence his bad results at that competition. Also, I believe, he too is one that has had problems with his skates. If I recall correctly Frank Carroll in an interview said that his (Denis') feet were flat, which were causing the problems with the boots. Can anyone confirm - or correct - this?

"I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia...."

omg did you just

 

[cheerknithanson]

omg did you just

Not funny. Yes I do like 5SOS also...but I put that part of the lyrics in there for a reason. And it was because I wish that I could forget that it happened or simply wish this was not real. I'm still sad about it. I have to admit. But I'm doing better than yesterday. Yesterday for hours I was fighting back tears.

I'm not trying to scold you. Honest.

Just heard that Eladj Balde is injured and has withdrawn from Skate Canada. Can anyone confirm this?

Tatjana Flade tweeted the news. She is usually very reliable.

Sad for Balde.

The only silver lining is that I hope Liam Firus will have the best men's result for Canada at the event.

Frustrating start to the season for the Canadians singles. First Kaetlyn, then Kevin, and now Elladj.

In addition to withdrawing from CoC, Peter Liebers has withdrawn from NHK. It seems like he wasn't able to recover from his shoulder injury

Nathalie Weinzierl (GER) has also withdrawn from CoR.https://twitter.com/europeonice/status/527407344733679618

That's, umm, not very comforting...

 

[centerpt1]

No!!!! I love Balde..his SP is great this year.

 

[supsu]

Omg so many injuries. Please, Skate Canada throw Patrick in there for us!!!!

 

[Interspectator]

Kaetlyn, Kevin and Elladj...this is so sad. It's a difficult year for Canadian figure skating.

International Figure Skating is tweeting that Eladj is suffering from a concussion. Best wishes to him for a full recovery.

 

[silverfoxes]

Concussion? Oh dear...hope it wasn't a backflip accident, not that any other kind of accident would be better. Get well soon. Losing Elladj and Kevin is such a shame, especially for the Canadian GP event.

Well Canada won't have a lot to cheer considering their men and women's team are devastated. Duhamel and RAdford better not fall apart to Sui and Han; ditto for Weaver and Poje usually your own skate int'l your nation predominately does well ie Skate America ie in pairs and dance where they did really well.

D&R are looking pretty awesome this season, But pairs is pairs, What i don't see is how you'd think W&P could possibly lose to anyone in ice dance...

Singles is true though, You might not see any canadian in those final groups, But you arguably wouldn't have anyways,
Reynolds possibly, But maybe we'll have surprises.

I know that L. Firus has some catching up to do after more than his share of injuries, but I still enjoy watching his skating. Hope that he has a good season.

I'm harder on him than I should be, I know...

It's just that, if he ends up on the podium at Skate Canada... well, we're probably not in for a well-skated competition.
