Lindsey Kildow will be competing on Wednesday. However, Carole Montillet-Carles, the defending Olympic champion, will not be competing. Her injuries should not cause her permanent problems, but they are too serious for her to continue her Olympic bid.
i’m worried about lindsay. i admire her so much for how strong she’s been, and she’s won the respect of the world. she’s skied again after her fall, so she knows she can go on. so any good has been accomplished. she can’t win a medal in so much pain. so i wish she wouldn’t put herself at risk. she’s already fallen once due to lack of control because of the pain-she was ok, but what if she goes back out there and the same thing happens, only this time she breaks bones or messes up a knee? as it is, she is going to completely recover and has a great future. there’s nothing left to accomplish or prove, so i wish she’d just withdraw-no one would blame her, she’s more than proven herself-and really heal, instead of taking chances with her future.
