Michelle Kwan Injured (Gasp), May Withdraw from Olympics (Gasp)

By oddSeth ⋅ February 11, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

In today’s less than shocking Winter Olympics news, Michelle Kwan is reportedly considering withdrawing from competition due to a groin injury.

This is, indeed, the same groin injury that prevented her from qualifying for the Olympics like all the other normal, mortal US women skaters. Kwan was granted a bye and given a free ride to the Olympics after she skated in front of a crack committee of US skating officials, who watched her skate and deemed her fit as a fiddle and ready to roll.

Or, you know, patted her on the head as soon as she arrived, signed her parent permission slip, and hightailed it to the nearest strip club for the $8.99 all you can eat peel and eat shrimp special.
