And will she or won’t she? All eyes on American ski sensation Lindsey Van battling that serious shin정강이 injury. Will she compete at these games? She’ll get her first chance to practice on the slopes of Whistler Mountain today, Thursday, February 11, 2010. From NBC News, this is a special edition of TODAY Countdown to Vancouver with Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira live from Vancouver, Canada
With just one day to go until the opening ceremony for the Vancouver Games, all eyes are on Lindsey Van, the American skier who was racing against time to overcome a painful shin injury. Our national correspondent Natalie Morales has an Olympic wrap-up요약. Natalie, good morning to you. Good morning to you from Whistler, Meredith. And yes, I got to check out the men’s downhill action yesterday at their practice. Today it’s the women’s turn. And the big question, will Lindsey Van in fact be putting on her skis?
“It’s definitely not the place I want to be…..” Lindsey Van is trying to keep her spirits up after the startling놀랄만한 announcement that she hurt her leg while training last week. “I don’t know how it’s going to feel. I’ve tried just putting my boot on in my hotel room and I can tell you it’s excruciatingly극심하게 painful.” The 25-year-old skiing sensation says she’s not giving up. “I’m just trying to focus on skilling well, skiing one day at a time, trying to win or get one medal of any color.” Van says she will try to practice later today that could determine her future here in Vancouver.
While Van recovers, other Olympic hopefuls are hitting the slopes at Whistler including Bodie Miller looking for redemption구원 from the disappointment of the 2006 Olympics in Torino. “How are you feeling? You yeeling pretty competent만족할 만한?” “All right.” “How does it feel this time around vs. Torino to be back?” On the ice, Apolo Ono is gearing up for his third Olympics. The 27-year-old speed skater could become the most decorated American in the history of the winter games.
As athletes like snowboarding star Shawn White continued to arrive in Vancouver, weather conditions on the east coast are keeping other Olympians from getting to the games. US Olympic ice dancers Tenet Feld and Vena Gusto are stuck in Philadelphia. Their flight cancelled. They hope to make it to Vancouver tomorrow night for the opening ceremony.
