skiers' knees have to be perfect. -- nm - loosilu Feb 5, 09:12 2
- Every third skiier in the X-Games has torn knee ligaments at least once. -- nm - David Feb 5, 09:17 1
  - this. and the regular Alpine skiers have the same kind of track records. -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 09:29

- She's a multi-time world champion. They'll hold her a spot, even if they have to re-work the rules to do it. -- nm - David Feb 5, 09:09
- anyone else read that as *rump* competitions? -- nm - zork Feb 5, 09:04
My guess is yes; between all the shocks and the leaning and all...I'd have to imagine it's worse than running. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 09:01 8
- for the ligaments, 1 year and a really good knee brace, she could probably do it. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 5, 09:03 7
  - when will she train? -- nm - loosilu Feb 5, 09:12 6
    - She'll be doing stuff all along -- if she doesn't ski, it won't be because she's rusty; it'll be becuase she's not physically ready. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 09:15
    - she will be doing rehab on the knee days after the surgery. - groiny Feb 5, 09:15 4
      - she needs a sample of whatever replacement tendons AP used. -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 09:17 3
        
        We may need to look deeper into the doctor's contention that AP ligaments had baby-like wear on them at the time of the surgery - Will Hunting Feb 5, 09:21 1
        
        knee procedures in general have come a LONG way since 2007 when I had mine. - groiny Feb 5, 09:23

IANAD, but I would guess yes. For that 2-3 minutes, the pressure on that knee, with no room for even a momentary lapse, would be tremendous. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 09:00
12 months and 2 days, to be exact. We're going to kick the crap out of Canada in hockey. -- nm - David Feb 5, 09:00
