Well, I am inconsolable. It looks as though Kimmie Meissner (directly above) has withdrawn from this skating season due to a knee injury. Kimmie is the 2006 world champion and the only US woman (besides Tonya Harding) to have landed a triple axel in competition. Wait a second.... Tonya Harding? Knee injury? Was Tonya anywhere near Kimmie at the time of this injury? Perhaps she wanted to remain alone on that triple axel podium.
Anyhow. I was really cheering for Kimmie to make a comeback and hit the medal podium at the Olympics. I thought she really has the potential.
Sasha Cohen has declared an attempt to qualify for the 2010 Olympic team, although it appears as though she, too, has a nagging injury and, realistically speaking, even if she makes the Olympic team, it's unrealistic that she'd best her 2006 silver medal, so in a way, what's the point? I love watching her skate but she may as well continue on the professional circuit instead of the competitive one, especially considering she's been out of the competitive circuit for the past three years.
Anyhow. Anyone else care about figure skating the way I do?
