Alissa Injured
I don't know if anyone has seen this yet...
While in Korea to perform in Olympic champion Yu-Na Kim's "All That Skate" shows early this month, pain made most of her jumps -- and even layback spins and spirals -- increasingly difficult to attempt. When the pain persisted after she returned home to Detroit, she booked an MRI for last Wednesday.
"I got the results, and I tore my [left] labrum in my hip," Czisny said. "I am having surgery.
"What they tell me is this kind of injury doesn't happen overnight; it can take months. It starts with weakness and by the time you feel pain, it's too late. It probably explains why I had difficulty jumping and difficulty landing, to say the least."
"In a way it makes me feel better, that I now understand why my season got worse and worse," Czisny said. "It could have begun back before the Grand Prix Final. My injury there could have been caused by trying to overcompensate for this."
Recovery time is uncertain, and Czisny has put plans to choreograph a new free skate with Marina Zoueva on hold.
"This surgery is why we requested as late a Grand Prix as possible, and only one at the moment," she said. "I hope I am ready. I plan to come back and train as hard as I can."
