Edmunds withdraws from worlds due to bone bruise

2016 U.S. silver medalist Polina Edmunds has withdrawn from the 2016 ISU World Figure Skating Championships due to a bone bruise in her right foot. Alternate Mirai Nagasu will represent Team USA at the World Championships, set for March 28-April 3, at TD Garden in Boston. 

 


Edmunds’ bone bruise has limited her ability to tap with her right foot and perform Lutz and flip jumps. She is expected to make a full recovery with an appropriate period of rest.

 

“While the decision to withdraw is disappointing, I don’t want to compete at the World Championships without performing my hardest technical elements,” Edmunds said. “I go to competition with the goal of representing Team USA to the best of my ability and performing my strongest programs. I will take time to recover and am looking forward to preparing for next season. I wish Team USA and all competitors at Worlds the best of luck.”

 

Nagasu, the 2016 Four Continents silver medalist and 2016 U.S. pewter medalist, will join Gracie Gold and Ashley Wagner as the ladies entries at the World Championships.
