"Even without an Olympic title, she is the greatest skater of the past 20 years and among the top five women in the history of the sport.Related:
"Just to watch her doing a spiral – a pure, clean spiral, not the ungainly contortions skaters must perform in the new (scoring) system – would be enough." – Globetrotting

Hey, our comebacks worked out well!
Yours sincerely,

Seriously, this is a BAD idea. Once an athlete has been away from the daily grind of competition, it is hard to get the edge back. That goes double for a 28 year old woman. If she was a marathoner, she would be just hitting her peak, but as a competitive figure skater her best days are way behind her. She had a wonderful career -- hopefully someone can talk some sense into her before she takes the plunge.
