Withdrawals

[demarinis5]

With Nationals just a few days away I thought a Withdrawal thread might be appropriate.

Ross Miner has withdrawn due to an ankle injury. Wishing Ross the best.

That's too bad. Ross looks a lot like a younger Jeremey Abbott in that picture.

That's so unfortunate... but oh my goodness I thought someone was announcing Sasha's withdrawal.

How unfortunate! I really like Ross' skating so much and I sincerely hope this withdrawal and injury don't jeopardize his chances at receiving international assignments next season. SO much potential!

Adam Rippon withdrawal?

Abbott is the 2008 Grand Prix finals champion. Johnny Weir of Pennsylvania finished third in the last two Grand Prix finals. And Pennsylvania’s Adam Rippon, who dropped out of this week’s competition on Wednesday because of an ankle injury, is the two-time defending world junior champ. Lysacek, the top-ranking American male, has won Skate America and the Grand Prix Final this season.

Has Adam Rippon withdrawn too or is this a journalist's error in this article? I will be so sad if Adam withdraws.

“It was important not to go into hiding (after winning worlds),” Lysacek said. “It’s important that I don’t just promote myself but promote the entire men’s team.”

Classy comment from Evan. I like that he said that!

It must be an error because Adam was at practice.

Then he can not go to Jr. Worlds? How USFSA decides the team for Jr. Worlds?

oh no! poor Ross! I loved watching him skate a few years ago when he was in novice(?juniors?)
