Yulia Lipnitskaya

[Imagine]

I hope Yulia does Swan Lake as her LP for the Olympic season. Should she have a good season, it could turn out to be a true pièce de résistance. For the SP, maybe she could go back to a classic like Dark Eyes, Megapolis, or You Don't Give Up On Love. I hope she does not do vocals...at least not for next season.

Oh no!

Lipnitskaia withdraws from Skate America due to a resurgence of an old injury. Rostelecom entry is in question as well.

And no substitutuion as well...

edit: here is the official statement: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...x-selections&p=1509149&viewfull=1#post1509149

 

[Imagine]

Arrrghhh! I knew it! She looked like she was in pain after the LP...

I hope it's something minor and doesn't become a permanent issue.

 

[turquoiseblue]

I hope it's not that serious and that she fully recovers soon!

 

[MalAssada]

What an awful Monday it is... Wishing her a quick, healthy recovery and that she enjoys her time off ice to relax.

 

[coldblueeyes]

Oh, that's awful. But maybe for the best. It'll give her more time to sit back and recover as well as she can before a much bigger competition.

 

[QLutz]

No surprise here. Though people around here didn't make much of it, the fed just came out last week and gave her a pretty blatant warning. She's not ready to skate. Seems like the ideal time for an injury.

Do you have any links that support this statement? Or is it just another hearsay?

 

[sneakers]

why am I having the feeling this is a forced injury ???

the comment on the Fed about recommending her to change her FS - that's a clue there :/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdqOrLZMBbw This video shows a lot, start at 4:38. You're right, she is in pain, has trouble reaching down for the stuffed animals. Alexei is nervously tapping the arm of the couch with his hand in the K&C, massaging her knees. He had that "And now this" expression.

3 competitions in 6 weeks with a recovering skater. The only injury I recall that would cause the symptoms we saw were multiple stress fractures, about 4 years ago.

http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/2016...106214887.html This intervew painted a generally bleak picture but there was no mention of a specific injury. It appeared that the injury in Bratislava was acute. There was no indication until now that it would interfere with her progress.
