Kupets’ Achilles Injury on Youtube
April 2, 2008 by northernriver
It had to turn up sometime. 
Apparently Courtney knew that something was wrong on takeoff and bailed out of the double arabian somersault, landing on her backside (but not without her feet hitting the floor first, as that gives her credit for the skill in the current Code of Points, heh).
But then, nothing can keep Miss Kupets down. And I do mean nothing.
Since she’s rehabbed an Achilles’ tendon before, Kupets knows what lies ahead. In the meantime, she refuses to wallow in self pity. It’s just not her style. “I’m already on a plan for next year,” she says cheerfully. “I’ve already started thinking about new things.”
Courtney’s very wise; she knows “where it’s at” and lives her life accordingly. You rarely see people as likable, courageous, and gracious as she is, for sure.
