That's a really good routine for a bad foot/leg/ankle whatever it was. She should be proud cuz she got the courage to do it while she had that hurt whatever it was
tough break...she would have been in the metals for sure if she didn't have so many mistakes on beam. She would have probably cared more on her floor and pulled out a bronze if not silver
She's a good gymnast but she should have allowed courtney mccool to take her place in the all around. At least McCool would have done better. She surely would have been on a mission to recover from qualifications. I think McCool would have med aled. What color, we will never know
@ferdyspears McCool totally choked, she wasn't even in the running for the All Around, which is why she didn't make any event finals. Kupets was a much stronger and more consistent competitor than McCool was.
Poor girl. Sounds serious and painful - she's a warrior for sucking it up & competing as well as she did. There is that element of "What Could Have Been..." b/c mentally, she was rock-solid. Sounds (and looks) like her body is what let her down here.
I wonder if it's true that Marta Karolyi came very close to replacing Kupets with Memmel at these Games?
Was the hip injury in the opposite leg as her achilles injury? I wonder if the hip injury resulted from her "favoring" her achilles?
she goes so fast on floor and beam and she really gets down to bussines. i think she could have medaled in the AA if she woulda hit all 4
same on beam in EF if she would a stuck everythiung and did her arabian dismount she would a medaled on beam i htink to. if she did do that her and caly's dismount would have been named the "kupattson" hehe.
"kupattson" hehe. but yeah i do agree. she really is great. i wish she would slow down just a bit.. but its alrite. haha. but i definitely agree with you. :)
i hope she makes a run for 08. her AA score at the most recent NCAA championships was 30.7.. somting. but still 39. even if she kept her existing routines shesd be great. it would be quite a showdown on beam if she came back. bars to.
because of the wobble on her spin, nearly falling off on her jump, the wobble on the other jump, the wobble on the back walkout and the step on the dismount.
She only started out of a 9.7. Her execution was actually pretty good considering her injury. The only deductions she had in that routine were from wobbles and not from form.
Yeah best save ever... like she jumped up off air or something. Crazy.

Was the injury *that* severe? What was the exact nature of the hip injury again?

I think it was a hip fracture.

@adventuregirl76 it was a torn Achilles tendon, not a hip fracture
