You can read a lot of articles about this, but after briefly retiring from the sport of figure skating, Alysa Liu came back to it better and just won the World Championships. Video and article link below.
Alysa Liu Wins First Women’s World Championships Gold for Team USA Since 2006
"Dressed appropriately in gold, Liu connected on each of her jumping passes – landing seven triple jumps – secured Level 4s on each of her spins and step sequences, and earned positive grades of execution on every element en route the crown. Her free skate score of 148.39 was her best this season by 16.93 points. Her total competition score, 222.97 points, is not only an international personal best but also the second-highest ever by an American woman, making her the one to beat heading into Milano Cortina."
(Milano Cortina (d'Ampezzo) is the site of the next Winter Olympics, even though it is all over northern Italy and the bobsled, luge, and skeleton might be at Lake Placid, NY.)
