(10,845 posts)But think on this for a minute. She is 15 and her thigh muscles are massive. She looks like she may be still growing elsewhere in her body. Where will she be in 4 years? Most likely a has-been, shoved aside in favor of the "next big thing", because that's what Russia does with their skaters. They develop them young, push them hard while they are still growing, before their bones are "set" enough to support those enormous muscles...and then they get horrible nagging injuries, one after the other, and they're gone. Where are the ones from the last couple of Olympics? Sitting on the sidelines, permanently injured, especially my favorite, Medvedeva, who had it all.
