Medvedeva may miss GPF - broken bone in foot

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Russian figure skating star Medvedeva mending broken foot
Published: November 21, 2017

MOSCOW (AP) — World champion figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva says she may miss the Grand Prix Final next month because of a broken foot.

Widely considered the favorite for the Olympic gold medal next year, Medvedeva is unbeaten in two years.

She says her two grand prix wins this season were achieved on painkillers because of a fractured metatarsal bone.

In a statement on the Russian Figure Skating Federation website, Medvedeva says her right foot has been in plaster since she won the NHK Trophy this month.

Medvedeva says, "I'm doing everything to recover," and that "if the doctors won't allow me to compete in Japan (for the Grand Prix Final), it will be the worst-case scenario."

This is going to be interesting. I wouldn't count out Katelyn for the gold...have had this feeling for a while.
