Starr put together two lovely programmes at Skate America - I really loved her FP in particular. She has presence, she has dress sense, she is musical and elegant, and was wonderful to watch.

Starr has no injuries for the record. it was medical related and the best interest of her health that the ISU withdrew her. Hope that helps clarify the injury related rumor.
She doesn't have a trauma but that doesn't mean she isn't sick ... wasn't ISU that withdrew her .. she withdrew herself because she couldn't finish the SP .. she looked like she couldn't breath ... and in an athlete that means a lot of tests before she can compete again ...

Whatever it is, hope she gets back better than ever as quickly as possible.

Per the post above from Starr's mother, the withdrawal was "medical-related."
I believe that the point she was making is that "medical-related" is not synonymous with "injury."
I understand why she wanted to make clear that injury is not the issue.
IMO, the distinction between the two is important -- because wondering (by fans) about "injury" potentially could cause concern that a long period of recovery and rehabilitation would be necessary.
I hope
that Starr will be in good health well before Nationals.But an injury you can quickly identify ... a medical problem can take longer ... and no coach will put an athlete to train without first knowing what they really have ... First health then the competitionPer the post above from Starr's mother, the withdrawal was "medical-related."

No one has said otherwise.
And I'm sure Starr's mother knows way more about where things stand with Starr than the rest of us do.

Get well soon!
Starr posted a health update on Instagram. Wishing her well on her recovery and let's hope the surgery has corrected the problem.
As an aside - I have a relative who had a similar experience following her HPV vaccine at age 11. She was diagnosed with SVT and her doctor confirmed it was from the vaccine as she had not had any heart issues prior. Flash forward, she got the Pfizer vaccine to continue her college studies and while her heart issues had been under control with medication, they got worse again after vaccination and she had an ablation last fall. Her doctors have told her no more vaccines or boosters and her college basically told her she couldn't finish her degree on campus without a booster but could finish remotely. I'm NOT saying this is what happened to Starr but it was scary for my cousin.

As Starr's mother suffers from microvascular coronary dysfunction I would attribute Starr's heart problems to genetics more than to any hypothetical vaccine or medication side effect.
While microvascular coronary dysfunction and SVT are very different from each other, heart problems, in general, are often hereditary and run in families, without every family member with heart problems having the exact same symptoms and being diagnosed with the same heart disease.
