Olympia News – Three more competitors… OUT
Three more women will be absent from the Olympia stage next month. Fan favorite Adela Garcia had to withdraw due to an injury and now three more will join her on the sidelines.
Who? Who? Who?
Fitness:
Shannon Meteraud despite making a comeback in fitness and qualifying for the Fitness Olympia will miss the big dance. She was forced to switch to figure at the Europa Super Show due to a knee injury. Shannon missed qualifying for the Figure Olympia by one place at that show. Her knee has not recovered and will keep her out. Best wishes on the injury.
Figure:
Two women who qualified for the Olympia at the end of the 2007 season will unfortunately be missing in Las Vegas. Mary Jo Cooke and Michelle Flake have both been battling health issues that will keep them away from the Olympia stage. Look for Michelle to take the stage in Sacramento and Kentucky to defend her titles, later this year.
It’s an unfortunate set of circumstances that will keep these women away from the pinnacle of their sport. It’s a reminder that you never know what tomorrow will bring. Make the most of today. Join me in wishing all of them well. Thanks to JM Manion for the updates on the three women.
I just wanted to wish Adela, Shannon, Michelle and Mary Jo all the best. I hope all you beautiful ladies get well soon!!!
