Canadian track star, Perdita Felicien, has reportedly given up her efforts to make it to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The hurdler had been fighting to recovery from a stress fracture in her left foot but in the time since it happened this past February, she has failed to compete in a single race.
The 27-year-old is expected to officially announce her decision any minute now and I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for her. She did make it to the last Olympics in Athens but her disastrous fall prevented her from completing the race (and took out a fellow athlete in the process).
I think she is making a mistake.
I would like to see her cross the finish line.
Even if its in last place.
They would give her a 5 minute standing ovation.
Dont quit now.
I know. After what happened at the last Olympics, it would be great if she could make some sort of appearance.
