her team made a huge mistake, aggrevating her injury
I don't know the details of Kaetlyn's physical woes, let me get that caveat out there right now.I thought her original injury was to her foot?
... as a general observation, competing with an injury to one part of the body can often lead to another injury to a different part. This can happen because the injured athlete unconsciously makes adjustments to try to protect the injured area, which will screw up the biomechanics of movement, thereby causing follow-on injuries.
Her previous injury was her left foot. During an interview after the competition, she mentioned she awoke with pain in her right hamstring. During practice, she said the pain was getting worse. Hence they decided to play it safe and withdraw. This injury appears to be something different. She seemed very disappointed during that interview. Hopefully it is nothing serious.
OTOH I am sure she wanted her chance to make the GPF.
