What happened to her out there? We all expected her to run better, right? Not dissing, just curious...
LRC note on 1/27/02. We have learned that Purrier was injured at the Trials and didn't step on a track until Tokyo.
"Early in that Trials race, Purrier St. Pierre had been shoved to the infield, causing her foot to twist awkwardly. It developed into an injury, and Purrier was barely able to train for the next month: she would not step on a track again until her arrival in Tokyo, which helps explain why she only finished 10th in the final."
