Oh. how terrible for her. It's a dangerous sport, no question. I hope her therapy goes well and they can be back in business by next season.

Scary, and happens more often than one likes to think about. One coach I knew in Montreal was watching a small pupil attempt something when she was rammed by two other small skaters below the coach's eye level, doing back crosscuts together. She slid into the boards and sustained a skull fracture and severe concussion. After that, she only taught teenage and adult skaters her height, and usually from behind the boards, only venturing out onto the ice if her pupils were the only skaters there.

Already posted this in 2 different places this morning (the competition thread and their Fan Fest thread), so I guess now that a dedicated thread has appeared, it's third time for luck!

And by the sounds of things, Angelina needs a bit of luck.

My baby!!!

Wishing Angelina all the best with her recovery.

And, please, don't attempt to come back before you are properly fully fit again. We don't want you to risk doing any further damage that could set back your recovery.

I saw the awful news this morning but wasn't able to comment until now. What horrible luck! Best wishes to Angelina for a full and speedy recovery. They are missed in competition already, but agreed with @CaroLiza_fan that health and safety in the longrun are far more important than sport.

Poor girl! A full and speedy recovery, and I hope she still dares to skate!

That is so sad, not only for the pain and injury the poor girl is going through, but also because of their GP season cut so harshly off through no one's fault. I wish her a good recovery, and best wishes to both of them.

And, please, don't attempt to come back before you are properly fully fit again. We don't want you to risk doing any further damage that could set back your recovery.

Please yes.

Oh no, what a nightmare Get well soon Angelina!

When Kaitlyn Weaver broke her fibula back in December 2012, Weaver/Poje managed to bounce back in time for Worlds, but that was considered an extraordinary feat at the time. Angelina's tibia+fibula fracture is more complicated, since one long bone can't be used to stabilise the other (I know friends who needed metal plates/screws for this type of injury).

Here's to hoping for a smooth and sensible recovery. Ice dancing is a long game, being patient now will pay dividends later.

Wishing Angelina a speedy recovery! I saw them in last year's JGp for the first time, and thought, and still think, this couple has a bright future. Good luck, and no rush!

Oh no! Poor thing. How awful.

Just posted this in their Fan Fest, but felt that it should be posted here too.

As it is now 10 minutes until the start of what should have been their second Junior GP, now would be a good time to update you on how Angelina is getting on.

Here are the Instagram posts that Angelina has posted during the past week:

Friday 1st September

Saturday 2nd September

Monday 4th September

Wednesday 6th September

In summary, she was operated on on Thursday evening, and it went smoothly. It was nice to read that she had a lot of support around her. She now has her leg in a cast, and is using crutches. Angelina had been released from hospital by Monday, and had returned to Italy by Wednesday.

All the best with your rehabilitation over the coming weeks and months!
