Bad karma, eh? Lee Troop was like, "I want her to be around for the next 10 years" so she runs into the ground and gets a serious injury. LRC was right, she should not have skipped as these opportunities are once in a life time.

She only skipped because of having the injury, not being able to train and compete.
