@Eleeski,
Thanks for posting that. Interesting. One of my kids had surgery, and his doc told him that if he could tolerate the pain, and could still perform, no risk of continuing and then doing the surgery post season. There would be ample rehab time. He kept at it with one, and did the surgery fast to get a jump on rehab with the other. Guess it depends...Torn shoulder labrum, and a hand injury. The mechanics of the hand made things pretty much impossible to race.
The unanswered question here, I think, is whether she can ski well enough, even if she can press through the pain. I've heard a lot of "no way" opinions. Which makes me root for the underdog, even if it's the longest of longshots. I'm skeptical.
I wish her well. I just hope that this isn't some season long 'will she or won't she'' thing, and there is minimal drama. Drama on women's ski team has never been good.....going back many decades.
Guess we'll see tomorrow!
