Then there was a commnent left that said she had ankle surgery, which I guess is not suprising considering how long it has taken her to recover and she needs another operation. If thats the case then it seems highly unlikely that she will compete this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-47236162705244558372009-05-15T10:29:00.000+10:002009-05-15T10:29:00.000+10:00I hope Dasha hasn't retired.

A little healthy competition would be great for both programs, particularly in the lead-up to CWG. I think international contigents would turn down our nationals this year simply because it's too late in the year, too close to Worlds.Mezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370137747840565343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-36942599071063359892009-05-14T19:41:00.000+10:002009-05-14T19:41:00.000+10:00I don't think it's fair to blame Peggy for the lac...I don't think it's fair to blame Peggy for the lack of International assignments this year. My understanding is that GA does not have the funds (I have no information as to why) and that Peggy is as frustrated as we are. There will not be an international contingent as Nationals this year either, which kind of compounds the [problemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
